Chinese LIS research shows increasing novelty and evolving collaboration patterns

A study analyzing the evolution of novelty in Chinese Library and Information Science (LIS) research from 2000 to 2022 reveals that topics related to journal evaluation and patent technology exhibit higher novelty compared to archival research. The research, which utilized BERTopic on paper abstracts and calculated novelty scores based on combinatorial innovation theory, found a general increase in paper novelty over time. Furthermore, collaboration patterns differ by novelty level, with low-novelty topics more frequently associated with solo authorship, while high-novelty topics tend to involve greater inter-institutional collaboration.
