Brief introduction to the name of sci-tech novelty retrieval

Sci-tech novelty retrieval is an information research work combining literature retrieval and information investigation. It is based on literature, by means of literature retrieval and information investigation, and based on test results. Through comprehensive analysis, the novelty of novelty retrieval items is examined by information science, and a novelty retrieval report with reasonable evidence, analysis, comparison and summary is written. In other words, novelty retrieval is to draw a conclusion on the novelty of the project by detecting the objective facts of the literature. Therefore, novelty retrieval has strict terms, scope and procedures, strict requirements for completeness and accuracy, and clear conclusions. The novelty retrieval conclusion is objective and evidential, but it is not a comprehensive result evaluation conclusion. These are not available in simple literature retrieval, and they are also different from expert reviews.

Conceptual differences

Conceptually, sci-tech novelty retrieval is easily confused with literature retrieval and expert review.

Literature retrieval is aimed at the needs of specific topics, only providing literature clues and original texts, without analyzing and evaluating topics.

Expert evaluation is mainly based on experts' own professional knowledge, practical experience, comprehensive analysis ability and professional information to evaluate the creativity, advancement, novelty and practicality of the evaluated object. The role of evaluation experts is irreplaceable by ordinary scientific and technological information personnel, but there are certain personal factors. (1) Apply for the National Technological Invention Award and the National Science and Technology Progress Award;

(2) Apply for national high-tech R&D projects such as 863 and 973;

(3) Apply for national natural science foundation projects, provincial and municipal natural science foundation projects and general science and technology projects;

(4) Acceptance, evaluation and transformation of scientific and technological achievements;

(5) Transfer of scientific and technological achievements;

(6) declare new products;

(7) apply for a national invention patent;

(8) Evaluation of State Key Laboratory;

(9) Report on the opening of doctoral programs.

(10) Other countries, localities, enterprises and institutions require novelty retrieval. 1) provides an objective basis for scientific research projects.

Whether the scientific research project is novel in demonstration, research and development objectives, technical route, technical content, technical indicators and technical level. Before the formal establishment of the project, the first task is to comprehensively and accurately grasp the relevant information at home and abroad and understand whether the project has been studied and developed at home and abroad. Through novelty retrieval, we can understand the development level and research and development direction of science and technology at home and abroad; Whether it has been developed or is being developed; The depth and breadth of research and development; Solved and unsolved problems, etc. To provide an objective basis for judging whether the topic is novel or not. This can prevent the waste and loss of manpower, material resources and financial resources caused by repeated research and development.

2) Provide objective basis for the appraisal, evaluation, acceptance, transformation and reward of scientific and technological achievements.

Novelty retrieval can provide objective literature basis for the identification, evaluation, acceptance, transformation and reward of scientific and technological achievements; Novelty retrieval can also ensure the scientificity and reliability of identification, evaluation, acceptance, transformation and reward of scientific and technological achievements. In these works, if there is no reliable novelty retrieval report provided by the novelty retrieval department as the literature basis and only depends on the professional knowledge and experience of the expert group, it is inevitable that there will be unfairness and no definite conclusion can be drawn. This is not conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel, but also hinders the popularization and application of the results. High-quality novelty retrieval, combined with experts' rich professional knowledge, can prevent the above phenomenon, thus ensuring the authority and scientificity of identification, evaluation, acceptance, transformation and reward.

3) Provide reliable and rich information for scientific and technological personnel to carry out research and development.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the classification of disciplines is becoming more and more detailed, and it is a common phenomenon that information comes from different carriers, which brings certain difficulties to obtaining information. Relevant research shows that technicians spend about 50% of their workload consulting documents. If the novelty retrieval is carried out by professional novelty retrieval personnel, it can greatly save the time for researchers to consult documents. Novelty retrieval institutions generally have abundant information resources and perfect computer retrieval system, which can provide comprehensive services from primary documents to secondary documents, and can search databases of scientific, technological, economic and commercial materials, covering papers, technical reports, dissertations, government publications, scientific and technological books, patents, standards and specifications, newspaper notices of various academic conferences and periodicals, etc., ensuring the traceability and timeliness of information and basically meeting the information needs of scientific research.
