构建以跨学科和社会影响为导向的科研评估框架——基于英国“科研卓越框架”的分析

Building an Interdisciplinary and Socially Impact-driven Research Evaluation Framework:Analysis Based on the Research Excellence Framework in UK

“科研卓越框架”是英国于2014年起面向全英高校实施的科研评估体系。新一轮评估“科研卓越框架2021”在参照“科研卓越框架2014”元评估结果的基础上,对评估制度进行了改革探索:在评估组织与管理方面,进一步优化了学科分类,提高了委任专家的代表性,完善了参评学者管理制度;在科研产出维度,改变了规模导向的评估方式;在科研影响维度,进一步扩大了影响力涵盖范围;在科研环境维度,增设了院校级环境评估。英国“科研卓越框架”评估为适应知识生产模式转型所进行的制度改革,为我国科研评估体系改革提供了如下可资借鉴之处:建立跨学科研究的评估机制;关注科研成果的非学术影响;注重科研人员的可持续发展;促进高校营造良好科研环境。

The Research Excellence Framework(REF)is a research evaluation system for universities across the UK that has been in place since 2014.On the basis of referencing the results of the REF2014 meta-evaluation,the new round of evaluation REF2021 explores the reform of the evaluation system.In terms of the organization and management of the evaluation,the discipline classification is further optimized,the representativeness of the appointed experts is improved,and the management system of participating scholars is improved.The scale oriented evaluation method was changed in the dimension of scientific research output,the scope of influence was further expanded in the dimension of scientific research impact,and the college-level environmental assessment was added in the dimension of scientific research environment.In order to adapt to the transformation of knowledge production mode,the reform of REF evaluation system in the UK has provided the following references for the reform of scientific research evaluation system in China:establishing the evaluation mechanism of interdisciplinary research;pay attention to the non-academic impact of scientific research achievements;pay attention to the sustainable development of scientific research personnel;we will encourage colleges and universities to create a sound environment for scientific research.
