Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] This study aims to clarify the concept and identification methods of innovation in academic papers. It explores the application paths to provide references for constructing sustainable academic innovation ecosystem. [Method/Process] Based on the concept of innovation in academic papers, it summarizes its main forms of innovation, conceptualizes its transformation process, and systematically reviews the existing identification methods. Furthermore, it discusses the application path for the innovation. [Result/Conclusion] It identifies two major methodological systems based on text mining and scientific knowledge network. It designs a systematic application path: “content insight→significance cognition→frontier prediction→ex-post evaluation”. Based on the analysis, it proposes the following constructive considerations: building a multimodal scientific knowledge base from multiple sources, improving early warning mechanisms for innovation, deepening the multidimensional discovery system, and reforming scientific evaluation mechanisms.
