TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDICATOR OF CONFORMITY

Abstract
An indicator of conformity -the tendency for a scientific paper to reinforce existing belief systems -is introduced. This indicator is based on a computational theory of innovation, where an author's belief systems are compared to socio-cognitive norms. Evidence of the validity of the indicator is provided using a sample of 4180 high impact papers in two experiments. The first experiment is based on a 10 year model of the scientific literature. The robustness of the first experiment is tested using an alternative method for calculating the indicator and two 16-year models of the scientific literature.
