Moreover, this paper also provides a reference for the practice of science and technology management.Design/methodology/approach: This paper starts with a discussion of two critical questions about the significance and design of international peer review. A case study of international peer review of CAS Centers for Excellence is further analyzed. Findings: International peer review may provide a solution to address the problem of quantitative oriented research evaluation in China. The case study of research evaluation of CAS Centers for Excellence shows that it is possible and feasible to conduct an international peer review in China’s context. When applying this approach to other scenarios, there are still many issues to consider including individualized design of international peer review combined with practical demands, and further improvement of theories and methods of international peer review. Research limitation: 1) Only the case of international peer review of CAS Centers for Excellence is analyzed;2) A relatively small number of respondents were surveyed in the questionnaire. Practical implications: The work presented in this study can be used as a reference for future studies.Originality/value: Currently, there are no similarly detailed studies exploring the significance and methodology of international peer review in China.展开更多

Its research orientations include the ecosystem structure of wetlands,their ecological processes,environmental effects,cataloging and dynamic changes in natural endowment,the assessment of the ecological ambience of representative or distinctive wetlands,countermeasures for the protection of biodiversity,the classification system of wetlands,related evolutionary patterns,and biomass productivity.The aim of the center is to accomplish high-level results in basic research and applied research in wetland research so as to serve eco-environmental protection and socio-economic development in a steady and sustained way. The main research tasks of the center is,by uniting all academics engaged in wetland research in the Academy,to host investigative surveys of and application for key R&D topics in the field, organize theoretical probes into the disciolinarv basics,establish China’s own scientific system and databases展开更多
