关于高校科研绩效考核的思考——从期刊级别与学术评价的关系展开分析

On Research Performance Evaluation in Universities:An Analysis Starting with the Relationship Between Periodical Rating and Academic Evaluation

在中国大陆学界,特别是在高校科研绩效考核中,学术评价存在一条或明或暗的规则,即期刊级别=论文质量=学术水平=业绩(或学位或职称或某种报酬)。不少高校在项目结项、学校学院考核、学位授予、职称评定等有关科研绩效考核的方方面面,都或多或少遵守这一规则。实际上,期刊级别与论文质量、学术水平并不是一一对应关系,用期刊级别评价论文质量、学术水平的信度是值得怀疑的,将其作为科研绩效考核的依据更是一个笑话。但将期刊级别作为论文质量、学术水平评价、科研绩效考核的依据有其体制根源,改变学术评价体制,才能从根本上消除期刊、学术评价方面的怪现状,也才能在科研绩效考核方面取得实效。

In the academic circle of China's Mainland,especially in universities,there is an explicit rule that periodical rating,article quality,academic level and research performance are all equivalent.This rule is absolutely wrong.The criterion of periodical rating is suspectable in evaluating article quality,academic level and it is even ridiculous to evaluate one＇s research performance according to periodical rating.The prevalent doing of this kind has its institutional origin.The crucial solution is to improve our institution of academic evaluation.
