I. Definition

Novelty retrieval is to investigate, sort out and analyze the existing knowledge and documents in order to obtain the latest information, verify the facts, discover the research situation and provide support for academic research, innovation and decision-making.

Second, the importance and methods of novelty retrieval

1, importance:

Novelty retrieval is an important link in academic and scientific research, which helps to ensure the accuracy, integrity and innovation of research. Through novelty retrieval, researchers can understand the development of existing research, avoid repeated research, find the appropriate direction of research problems, and support their own views and conclusions when writing papers and reports.

2. Methods:

Novelty retrieval usually includes the following steps:

1. Clarify research questions: Before starting novelty retrieval, you should clarify your research questions, objectives and scope, so as to conduct more targeted literature retrieval.

2. Select appropriate databases and resources: select appropriate academic databases, library catalogues, periodicals, conference records and other resources for retrieval according to the research field.

3. Keyword search: use keywords and terms related to the research topic to search for relevant documents. Appropriate keywords can improve the accuracy of retrieval results.

4. Screening documents: according to the title, abstract and other information, screen out the documents related to the research topic and exclude the contents unrelated to the research.

5. Reading analysis: read and analyze the selected literature carefully, understand the research methods, results, conclusions and other contents, and link them with your own research problems.

6. Sort and summarize: sort and summarize the found documents and classify them according to different themes or viewpoints, so as to facilitate subsequent review or writing.

7. Cite documents: In papers or research reports, you need to cite existing documents to support your own views and conclusions, which is also a respect for the work of predecessors.

Novelty retrieval, as an important means to obtain information, understand previous studies and promote innovation and decision-making, plays an irreplaceable role in various fields.
