Construction of the Evaluation Index System for Innovation Ability of Regional Science and Technology in China

Abstract

To scientifically construct a more optimized evaluation index system for innovation ability of regional science and technology in China, this paper is based on the existing research and selects the relevant academic literatures from CNKI. Then use the social network analysis method and UCINET software centrality analysis to extract the indicators step by step. The first-level indicators include the basis of scientific and technological innovation, the investment of scientific and technological innovation, the output of scientific and technological innovation and the benefit of scientific and technological innovation. The second-level indicators include the awareness of science and technology, human investment, high-tech industrialization, etc. The third-level indicators include the number of patent application, R&D expenditure, the sales revenue of high-tech industry, etc. Finally, the evaluation index system for innovation ability of regional science and technology consists of 4 first-level indicators, 10 second-level indicators and 32 third- level indicators.

Keywords: the evaluation index system, social network analysis, innovation ability of regional science and technology
