Innovations: You get Innovations for each level in tech and for every Breakthough minor Event, which is triggered by on of the 4 traits (Scholar, Obssesive, Intelligent, Polymath) on a researcher. I suspect Blood of the Lagidai does too.
Reserach points are produced by nobles and citizens. The research ratio is that number didvided by the number of integrated pops.

Yes. Its simple and complicated at the same time.
The basic gist is simple:
Mostly nobles and some from citizens make research. That research is impacted by both local modifiers (libraries and the like) and national modifiers (bonuses from various sources).
This is then divided by the total number of integrated nationality pops.
Then, there is a cap, depending on how many of the cap-increasing innovations you have already. The cap starts at 125% and can go to 250% with 5 separate increases of 25% each. Two are easy to get (Theological Colleges and Book Binding) at only 4 and 5 innovations into the table. The other 3 are all fairly far down the tables.
I assume it was designed like this to make it more challenging to be high tech while also having a huge levy pool (which comes from having integrated pops). I kind of like that idea. Though, I'd have broken the 125% bonus to the cap up a bit more smoothly (smaller bites) and perhaps not all exactly 25%. I might have included a chunk of it in the civic raw levelling at 1% per advancement.

Ideally, researchers have even more than one of those traits (rare) and also a good base stat in the relevant one for the tech field (even more rare together, but that's what headhunting and recruting via character search is for

This explains a run in my Heraclea Persica run recently. I'd killed a bunch of small countries and lucked out with a 14 charisma with polymath, intelligent, and obsessive. I did get a lot of innovations from that time. I didn't know it was mostly that one guy. Too bad he wasn't a scholar too eh?Ideally, researchers have even more than one of those traits (rare) and also a good base stat in the relevant one for the tech field (even more rare together, but that's what headhunting and recruting via character search is for
I always take the people when I sack a country. Sometimes those characters are the best thing you get.
