Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Creativity is the precondition and foundation of innovation,and creativity evaluation is the core component of creativity research. This paper, from the perspective of Library and Information Science, aims to investigate the research status of bibliometric evaluation of scientific creativity, and provide reference for future studies.[Method/process] Based on relevant literature, this paper describes and reviews the basic situation of bibliometric evaluation of scientific creativity, in terms of concepts, application history and comparative analysis of independent indices.[Result/conclusion] Evaluating scientific creativity by means of bibliometrics provides a new entry point for the discipline of Library and Information Science participates in S&T innovation. Relevant research should be extended in terms of theoretical study, knowledge evaluation and reasonable evaluation.
