Measuring the Novelty of Biomedical Papers Using the Latent Distances between Knowledge Units

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

Measuring the novelty of scientific papers is a central concern in research evaluation and scientometrics. From a recombination perspective, prior studies have largely focused on the co-occurrence of knowledge units to assess the novelty of scientific papers. However, these studies often overlook other relationships between knowledge units. This narrow view may result in inaccurate or incomplete evaluations of novelty for scientific papers. To fill this gap, this study introduces a comprehensive novelty measurement that incorporates three types of relationships between knowledge units: network
