Abandoning only papers can greatly improve the innovation and enthusiasm of scientific researchers and increase academic value. Only thesis means that everything is linked to the thesis. If you do not write the corresponding thesis, your promotion and salary increase will be further and further away. But what you need to know is that there are many big breakthroughs and epoch-making technologies that are not achieved in one go and require concentration. It takes a long time to work hard to get results, and the negative impact of publishing papers is that they are eager for quick success, which makes many people unwilling to spend a lot of time to study and explore. Instead, they try their best to publish more papers. Even 10,000 such papers are not as good as A paper that has been studied for decades. This is also the fundamental reason why many patents and papers now have low gold content and value.
In December 2020, the Ministry of Education clearly put forward bottom-line requirements on the thesis-only issue, and issued several opinions on eliminating the bad orientation of thesis-only in the evaluation of philosophy and social science research in colleges and universities. In the opinion, it was clearly stated that academic qualifications, professional titles, etc. should not be used as restrictive conditions for publishing papers in academic journals in the education system. The quality of papers should not be simply judged by publications, titles, honors, qualifications, etc., and papers such as SSCI and CSSCI should not be included in the database. As a tutor position selection, the only criterion for talent plan application and review.
At present, the academic results of many paper collaborations are highly watered-down, with multiple publications and repeated evaluations occurring from time to time, which can be said to have greatly reduced academic activity. Papers are essentially research in various academic fields and articles describing academic research results. Only papers can easily lead to focusing on papers and neglecting research. Not everyone is a genius, but a person with great inspiration. Papers require long-term research and hard work before they can be truly rather than a reshaping and irrelevant extension of other people’s research results. A long-term research requires short-term results. Without short-term results, there is no way to get promoted. Even if the academic level, personal ability, and knowledge reserve far exceed this position, you will not be qualified.
Thesis-only approach can easily lead to academic impetuousness and low-quality papers, so the advantages of eliminating thesis-only approach far outweigh the disadvantages.
