Abstract: In this study, we use hypergraph models to analyze the innovation patterns of researchers funded by the Management Science Department of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). By constructing content hypergraphs and team context hypergraphs, we explored the complex relationship between research content novelty and team context novelty with research impact and disruptive innovation. It was found that the number of citations showed a significant positive correlation with research content novelty, while the disruptive index was approximately negatively correlated with content novelty as a whole. Team contextual novelty showed a nonlinear relationship with both citation counts and disruptiveness, reflecting the potential of a modest combination of member knowledge diversity and similarity in producing high-impact and disruptive research. In addition, we compare the research performance of Young Science Fund, Outstanding Young Science Fund, and Distinguished Young Science Fund recipients and find that young scholars produce more disruptive results, while senior scholars produce more highly cited results. These findings provide an important basis for optimizing research funding strategies, promoting innovation and balancing the development of different types of research, as well as providing new perspectives for understanding the characteristics and challenges of China's research talent training system.

摘要: 本研究运用超图模型,分析中国国家自然科学基金委员会(NSFC)管理科学学部资助科研人员的创新模式。通过构建内容超图和团队背景超图,我们探讨了研究内容新颖性和团队背景新颖性与科研影响力和颠覆性创新之间的复杂关系。研究发现,被引次数与研究内容新颖性呈现显著的正相关关系,而颠覆性指数与内容新颖性整体近似负相关。团队背景新颖性与被引次数和颠覆性均呈现非线性关系,反映出适度的成员知识多样性和相似性组合在产出高影响力和颠覆性成果方面的潜力。此外,我们发现资深学者的研究内容新颖性、团队背景新颖性和成果影响力通常更高,而青年学者的成果颠覆性更高,表明不同职业阶段的学者在推动领域发展中发挥着互补作用。这些发现为优化科研资助策略、促进创新和平衡不同类型研究的发展提供了重要依据,同时也为理解中国人才培养体系的特点和挑战提供了新的视角。
