Evaluation of Discontinuous Innovation in Science and Technology Policy: Trends in Metascience Research

Explanation of evaluation methods for discontinuous innovation in science and technology policy based on latest trends in metascience research. The Disruption Index developed by University of Chicago team in 2019 measures how research builds upon or challenges existing knowledge. Japan's research shows high disruption scores for Fujishima's photocatalysis paper (D=0.998) and high citation counts for Akaike's Information Criterion. The UK is planning a "Metascience Novelty Indicators Challenge" with £300,000 prize money to develop practical policy tools for identifying breakthrough technologies early.
