I recall as a student I took some modules in History of Science with some amazing professors. We looked at a famous paper on the social size limitations of primate groups Vs brain size, if I recall correctly. Dunbar's number I think it was called. The conclusion we came to as a group was that in the paper were a lot of things that looked like science, but in reality there wasn't really. "Detecting innovation" and "identifying novelty" by text analysis couldn't be more of a pseudoscience. Given it seems the definition of innovation is beyond spurious here (presence of keyword pairs?) I look forward to this paper being cited for decades and used to predicate public policy.
