It is an existing problem that excessive emphasis is placed on the number and publication status of papers in scientific and technological evaluation, while the quality and effect of other scientific and technological achievements are ignored. This situation may lead to the following aspects of quality and effect being ignored:
Diversity of scientific and technological innovation: Scientific and technological innovation is not only reflected in the number and publication of papers, but also includes other forms of science and technology. Results, such as patents, software, technical standards, product prototypes, etc. Excessive focus on papers may ignore these various forms of scientific and technological innovation, making science and technology evaluation unable to fully reflect innovation capabilities and achievements in the field of science and technology.
Practical application of scientific and technological achievements: The ultimate value of scientific and technological achievements lies in their effects and contributions in practical applications. Excessive focus on the number of papers and publication status may overlook the quality and effect of scientific and technological achievements in industrialization, commercialization and social application. This makes it impossible for science and technology evaluation to accurately assess the actual contribution of scientific and technological achievements to social and economic development.
Comprehensive capabilities of scientific and technological teams: Scientific and technological innovation often requires multi-disciplinary and cross-field cooperation and collaboration. Overemphasis on papers may ignore the comprehensive and cooperative capabilities of the team, and fail to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the scientific research team in scientific research project management, technology transformation and technology promotion.
In order to get rid of the problem of paper-only evaluation, the following measures can be taken:
Diversified evaluation indicators: Science and technology evaluation should comprehensively consider various forms of scientific and technological achievements, including papers, patents, and technologies. Standards, product applications, etc. The introduction of diversified evaluation indicators enables science and technology evaluation to more comprehensively reflect the quality and effect of scientific and technological innovation.
Emphasis on the practical application value of scientific and technological achievements: Science and technology evaluation should focus on the effects and contributions of scientific and technological achievements in practical applications. Indicators such as industrial transformation, commercial promotion, and social impact can be considered to evaluate the actual contribution of scientific and technological achievements in social and economic development.
Comprehensive evaluation of scientific and technological team capabilities: Scientific and technological evaluation should not only focus on the number of papers and publications of individual scientific researchers, but also comprehensively evaluate the capabilities and cooperation capabilities of scientific and technological teams. Indicators such as the team's scientific research project management capabilities, technology transformation capabilities, and technology promotion capabilities can be considered to comprehensively evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the technology team.
By taking the above measures, we can break the limitations of paper-only evaluation and promote science and technology evaluation to more comprehensively and accurately evaluate the quality and effect of scientific and technological innovation. This can better stimulate scientific and technological innovation, promote the industrialization and application of scientific and technological achievements, and promote the contribution of science and technology to social and economic development.
