    "abstract": "A model is proposed for the creation and transmission of scientific\nknowledge, based on the network of citations among research articles. The model\nallows to assign to each article a nonnegative value for its creativity, i. e.\nits creation of new knowledge. If the entire publication network is truncated\nto the first neighbors of an article (the n references that it makes and the m\ncitations that it receives), its creativity value becomes a simple function of\nn and m. After splitting the creativity of each article among its authors, the\ncumulative creativity of an author is then proposed as an indicator of her or\nhis merit of research. In contrast with other merit indicators, this creativity\nindex yields similar values for the top scientists in two very different areas\n(life sciences and physics), thus offering good promise for interdisciplinary\nanalyses.",
