For papers published from 1995 to 2013 (inclusive), there was an astounding 64\% average increase of top-1000 cited papers coming out of non-elite journals (here, "elite" designates the top-ten most-cited journals for a given category; "non-elite" the rest). Lest you worry these represent the \textit{only} cited articles in non-elite journals: the total share of citations going to non-elite articles rose from 27\% to 47\% over the same period.  Part of the reason for this sudden shift is digitization.
