Abstract From the perspective of cumulative citation of literature, using the logistic curve as a prototype to fit the cumulative citation curve model, three stages of the life cycle of literature are given by the characteristics of the accumulated citation curve: the sleeping period, the waking period, and the aging period. From the two dimensions of sleep intensity and recovery intensity, we constructed a cumulative citation sleeping beauty index (Cc index), a non-parametric index method for identifying sleeping beauty literature. The sleeping beauty literature in the field of string theory published between 2008-2014 on the Web of Science (WoS) platform was tested. The results revealed that Cc index recognition results in more effectively satisfying the definition of the sleeping beauty document, and has a better recognition effect for the literature of light sleep (doze) and the literature of sleeping beauty with a relatively short sleep time but strong awakening intensity, and simultaneously, can better identify the all-elements-sleeping-beauties literatures, which is more in line with essential characteristics of the sleeping beauty literature. However, further verification is needed to determine if the cumulative citation sleep beauty index identification method is effective for other research fields.
