The package aims to provide a tool to the scientometrics community that centralizes different measures of novelty and disruptiveness, enables their comparison and fosters reproducibility. This paper offers a comprehensive review of the different indicators available in Novelpy by formally describing these measures (both mathematically and graphically) and presenting their benefits and limitations. We then compare the different measures on a random sample of 1.5M articles drawn from Pubmed Knowledge Graph to demonstrate the module's capabilities. We encourage anyone interested to participate in the development of future versions.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10346v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.10346v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"novelpy-a-python-package-to-measure-novelty","repo_url":"https://github.com/kwirtz/novelpy","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"pkg-sample","name":"PKG sample","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
