The term Creatology, as a new science of creativity, was first used by Rafael Nelson M. Aboganda and Ricardo S. Cortez in a paper entitled "Creatology: The Science of Creativity" published in October 1972 by the Philippine Inventors Commission (PIC), now Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) an agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), in the Philippines.
Creatology was later introduced and proposed by a Hungarian scholar Dr. Istvan Magyari-Beck in his presentation "About the Necessity of Complex Creatology" made on the International Sociology of Science Conference in Budapest, in 1977. In 1979, this paper was published in the book Sociology of Science and Research, edited by János Farkas, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, pp.175-182.
