[Purpose/Significance] The revitalization of Northeast China in the new era depends on the strong support of scientific and technological talents, and the policies for these talents are essential institutional guarantees for promoting scientific and technological innovation and talent development.This study aims to accurately grasp the framework structure and dynamic characteristics of regional sci-tech talent policies through systematic quantitative analysis, providing decision-making references for deepening the supply-side reform of policies. [Method/Process] Taking the sci-tech talent policy texts of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning provinces as research objects, this study employed the BERTopic model to conduct topic identification, keyword extraction, similarity calculation, etc.On this basis, it carried out longitudinal and horizontal comparisons of policy themes among the three provinces and conducted a comparative analysis with the policies of developed provinces such as Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong. [Result/Conclusion] The sci-tech talent policies of the three Northeast provinces have formed a system with talent introduction, cultivation, utilization, evaluation, incentives, and services as the main lines.However, compared with developed provinces, there are still deficiencies in policy supply, demand traction, and targeting.Based on this, the study proposes that the three Northeast provinces should enhance the systematicity, precision, and timeliness of talent policies based on regional realities, focus on key issues such as policy supply, demand traction, and regional characteristics, and continue to make efforts in the integration, optimization, and innovative development of talent policies.The reform of talent policies in the new era should lead and guarantee the comprehensive revitalization and high-quality development of Northeast China.
