Several authors have proposed that a large number of unusual combinations ofcited references in a paper point to its high creative potential (or novelty).However, it is still not clear whether the number of unusual combinations canreally measure the creative potential of papers. The current study addressesthis question on the basis of several case studies from the field ofscientometrics. We identified some landmark papers in this field. Studysubjects were the corresponding authors of these papers. We asked them wherethe ideas for the papers came from and which role the cited publicationsplayed. The results revealed that the creative ideas might not necessarily havebeen inspired by past publications. The literature seems to be important forthe contextualization of the idea in the field of scientometrics. Instead, wefound that creative ideas are the result of finding solutions to practicalproblems, result from discussions with colleagues, and profit frominterdisciplinary exchange. The roots of the studied landmark papers arediscussed in detail.
