改进跨学科研究项目评审的对策与建议

Countermeasures and suggestions on improving the assessment of interdisciplinary research project

跨学科研究模式因其在解决重大、复杂问题中显现出的良好效果,越来越受到科学界的关注和欢迎。但是跨学科研究在当下资源竞争以单学科为主的形势下,无论是项目还是奖励的评审都处于不利地位。跨学科研究在科技评审中表现出知识、体制、文化三方面不利因素。本文通过对三方面因素的分析,结合芬兰科学院对跨学科研究项目评审的调查和德国科学基金会的实践,提出针对项目的界定、项目申请书内容格式、同行评议专家的选择、会议评审的规则四方面进行改革,以克服跨学科研究项目评审中的困难和障碍。

Because of its good results in solving huge and complex problem, the model of interdisciplinary research received more and more scientific attention and welcome. Interdisciplinary research suffers the dis- advantage in the both of project and award evaluation under the present competitive situation for research resources given priority to the single subject. Interdisciplinary research shows three aspects of the adverse factors in the science and technology review, such as knowledge, institution and culture. Based on the anal- ysis of three factors and combination with investigation of interdisciplinary research projects from the Acad- emy of Finland and practices of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, this paper proposes four pieces of sug- gestion to improve the situation： the definition of interdisciplinary research project, the application format of interdisciplinary research project, the selection of peer-reviewed experts, the law in review conference in order to overcome difficulties and obstacles in interdisciplinary research project.
