As the international emphasis on the evaluation of scientific performance and achievements of academic researchers,Journal evaluation is increasingly becoming an important area for attention from countries。In the 1930s, British Literature Meriter Bradley first proposed the concentration and decentralization of literature,The so -called core periodical effect,The concept of "core journal" with evaluated significance opened the prelude to the journal evaluation。At present, the evaluation of Western academic journals mainly relies on the world's important scientific and academic quotes,Based on the law of discrete law based on the Bradford Document and Calfield Literature Citation Law,Methods of the quality of the dissertation、The theoretical basis of quantitative indicators、Three quantitative evaluation angles of object differences,At the same time, refer to the purpose of peer review、Organization form、Evaluate academic journals such as expert selection。However, in the specific evaluation practice process, it will inevitably fall into a certain dilemma,Journal evaluation needs to be continuously explored and optimized with the development of practice,and then play a key role in scientific development and its interaction between society。

With the continuous development and improvement of the subject system,Currently Western Journal Evaluation Methods and Concepts,It can no longer meet the assessment needs of scholars and academic achievements。First,There is a "tool first" phenomenon in the concept of journal evaluation。In the journal evaluation,Tool value and destination value should be unified and inseparable,But the existing evaluation system exists in the disadvantages of the leading tool or neglecting the purpose -oriented。The purpose of the journal evaluation is to reflect the real research level of the researcher,Actively guide academic workers to conduct academic innovation,Finally promote academic talents、bet365 Play online games The healthy development of the academic team and the academic system,instead of blindly becoming a "tool" for researchers to pursue academic performance,Natural ecology of the academic journal cover,Causes vicious competition and disorderly development in the academic field。European countries such as Germany,The application of the influencing factor has far exceeded its original purpose,The government determines the amount of fund funding in accordance with the number of papers in high influence factor journals in high influence factor journals。In some countries in the Naka region in Europe,The bonus of academic researchers is allocated by the number of individual papers,The style of "tool first "ism in the academic field is prevailing。Therefore, the formulation of the journal evaluation system must not only consider the purpose of the means method and method,It is also necessary to reflect the value care of the evaluation itself。The existing journal evaluation incentive mechanism forms a high competition between the individual and the individual,Gradually become an internal consumption between individuals and ignore the overall academic atmosphere,This can not only play the positive role of the journal evaluation,Also shared with sharing、The academic spirit of mutual assistance runs "。

Next,It is difficult to balance and quantitative and qualitative evaluation method in terms of evaluation methods。One of the predicaments of the existing predicament of Western journals is difficult to effectively balance the evaluation method of quantitative and qualitative。Quantitative evaluation method is objective、Precision、Convenience and other advantages,But because it ignores the quality and behavior of some objects in the journal evaluation,It is not easy to make appropriate reflections on the results of the evaluation under the incomplete corresponding correspondence,and there may be manipulation of manipulation behind the data such as influencing factor。In recent years,The international popular use of a large number of references to the first two years of the articles in the first two years of the article to improve Bet365 lotto review the method of impact factors,This undoubtedly increases the actual value of academic results。Internationally released the "Leiden Declaration" in 2014,Correct the phenomenon of "quantization first",Get generally recognized by experts and scholars from the scientific research evaluation industry。The qualitative evaluation is to use the knowledge of peer experts、Experience and judgment to review and compare methods,This evaluation method focuses on grasping the attributes of a certain thing from the quality aspect,Therefore, it is easy to receive personal values、Influence of subjective factors such as knowledge structure,Digital to the evaluation results is large and difficult to test,Disadvantages of alienation of expert behavior may occur under the hidden rules of human society。Qualitative and quantitative combination will undoubtedly affect the quality of evaluation,It is difficult to evaluate the real value of academic results,Apply a single quantification or quality evaluation method to all fields to compress academic research space,Violation of the purpose of academic assessment,Then it eliminates the scientific spirit and humanistic value of academic research results。

Last,There is the limitations of the evaluation of the indicator system in terms of evaluation content and short -term problems。From the horizontal view,The existing journal evaluation does not follow the various disciplines、The rules of the door category are specific、Professional evaluation,Unrelated implementation of different categories、Multiple evaluation and precise evaluation。In the evaluation system of academic journals,Different research areas often correspond to different results forms,Basic research and application research should adopt different evaluation standards。Western meter -based journal rating,Usually the periodic period of the authority of the authoritative journal retrieval,Journal rating is formed through the calculation of quantitative indicators。If JCR compares the influence factor of the journal,Determine the ranking of the journal,This simple indicator evaluation method cannot Bet365 lotto review eliminate the differences between discipline and research types and the inaccurate statistics of cross -disciplinary disciplines。Blind pursuit of unity and ignore discipline、Differences between the categories,Not only does it lead to the homogeneity tendency of academic journals,It also hinders bet365 Play online games The healthy development of the discipline。From the perspective of vertical vision,The academic value of the evaluation of this "data first" emphasis on research results,It is difficult to reflect the economic and social value bet365 Play online games of academic achievements,Ignoring the value created by academic research for production and economic services,and the role played for social construction and development。Whether it is theoretical and basic research on the orientation of major academic cutting -edge issues,The application value and social impact of application research,It is difficult to reflect in short -term considerations。

  Explore more open, balanced, diverse journal evaluation system

To build a more scientific、Open、Diversified Journal Evaluation System,Urgent need to reform the existing evaluation indicators and evaluation methods,To promote discipline development and academic innovation。The main path includes the following three aspects。

First,Pay attention to team performance,Strengthen the open sharing of academic achievements。Journal evaluation is an open system project,The evaluation of academic journals because of the non -uniqueness of its results requires a certain amount of tolerance。The atmosphere of "tools first" must be balanced first,Realize the balance between individuals and teams,Evaluate with multiple indicators from different angles,regular review and update evaluation indicators,Make it meet the needs of academic and social environment。As the "Laton Declaration" pointed out,According to the institution、Research tasks of groups or researchers measure performance,Selection of the indicators and its usage should consider a wider social, economic and cultural background,No single evaluation model is suitable for all situations,The appraiser must not give the decision power only to the number。If the data becomes a command stick for the quality bet365 Play online games of academic achievements,So academic research will eventually lose the human temperature and explore spirit。The current big data technology provides a broad data basis for multiple evaluations,Realize information sharing and information integration through digital technology,Create readers、Basic architecture of scholars and industry co -acting evaluations,Share cross -area、Knowledge of interdisciplinary、Personnel and equipment,helps to cultivate teamwork spirit,Strengthen the open sharing of academic achievements,Realize the evaluation process and results open、Fair、The ideal goal of fairness,Return to pursue the true pursuit of academic book。Reflects academic development through different perspectives、Explore academic laws、Discover potential innovation points,Let academic evaluation promote academic innovation。

2,Build a comprehensive balance evaluation method combining qualitative and quantitative。Facing a complex journal evaluation system,Comprehensive evaluation methods combined with qualitative and quantitative can exert qualitative and quantitative respective advantages,Real comprehensive、Objective effect。At present, the West still pays more attention to the opinions of peer experts,The qualitative evaluation of peer experts can scientifically grasp the innovative nature bet365 Play online games of academic achievements,Comprehensive evaluation of the status of new achievements in the development of disciplines,Based on the quantitative evaluation of tested quantitative data, the innovative and influence of academic achievements objectively evaluate the academic achievements,Overcoming personal subjectivity and uncertainty。The 2012 American Cell Biology Society formed the "San Francisco Declaration" based on the discussion of scientific research evaluation issues,Calling the academic community to stop using the impact factor such as the impact factor of the journal to evaluate the contribution of a single research paper or the individual scholar,Instead, consider using a wider impact measurement method,Including qualitative indicators on research,For example, the impact on policy and social practice。The academic achievements should be a unified quality bet365 live casino games and quantity,Academic evaluation needs to abandon the simplification of quantitative evaluation,Build a comprehensive evaluation system of quantitative and qualitative organic combination,This can exert the qualitative advantages of peer experts,Can also use the quantitative advantage of external data,helps to create a new situation in academic evaluation,Return to the function that should be available in academic journals。

third,Transition from a single to multiple transformation,Comprehensive consideration of academic results。Constructing a scientific classification indicator system,For different subject categories,Especially natural disciplines and sociology,Use different evaluation standards。For example, the journals of humanities and sociology pay more attention to political direction than natural science journals、Academic orientation、Value orientation and other academic directions,Simple dependency and quantification indicators to measure its quality and social functions,It is difficult to get true science、Results of fairness。Western SCI、Scopus and other journal evaluation systems have divided the subject classification at the beginning of the evaluation,But only natural science、Social science has a small distinction,The evaluation indicator is almost a unified standard。Therefore, the results of the results of different academic fields need to be evaluated with flexibility,Abandon the rigid approach to cut a knife。Due to the social benefits of the journal for a long time、Unsurable、Comprehensive and complex,Therefore, the diversified journal evaluation should not be limited to the academic value bet365 Play online games of academic achievements,It should also pay more attention to the economic value and long -term social impact of academic achievements in the field。American scholar Jason Prim proposed in 2010 that the evaluation index system for academic achievements to replace the traditional quantitative scientific research evaluation system that simply rely on citation indicators,Not only does it cover the academic influence of academic achievements,It also includes its social influence,The ultimate purpose of academic research is to promote the development of human society。
