Review of the Evaluation of Scientific and Technical Novelty Search Service in China

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] This paper aims at discussing the current situation and characteristics of the scientific and technical novelty search evaluation, and putting forward suggestions for the research. [Method/Process] We analyze the research status and problems of the domestic scientific and technical novelty search evaluation from the aspects of evaluation subject and object, evaluation index system, evaluation methods, and empirical research through the literature content analysis method. [Results/Conclusions] It is found that there are some problems in the evaluation of scientific and technical novelty search in China, such as fuzzy and confused evaluation objects, a lack of quantitative evaluation indicator system and standard, , neglect of evaluation of the service efficiency, and a lack of discussion of the development of scientific and technical search after evaluation. Finally, some suggestions for future research are put forward, such as clarifying the evaluation object and its concept boundary, designing the top-level index system guided by efficiency, implementing the internal and external dual evaluation mechanism, and meeting the needs and focusing on detailed development.
