SCI has been discussed and controversial for many years, and our country has achieved the highest number of SCI in the world.It's a good thing. It's something to be happy about it.I think the results should be positive, and the SCI paper should be positive.As for the SCI paper in China, especially today, the causes of some problems, the reasons are very complicated, it is not difficult to find the reasons, it is just a policy-oriented problem.As to the specific reasons, they vary from department to department, unit to unit, or even from person to person.Some are for bonuses, some are for promotion requirements, some are for degree requirements, some are for project project requirements, some are for fund project application requirements… …and so on. Speaking of which, today's scientific researchers are also very poor, unconsciously losing themselves and clearly walking the "strange path".Things compete for natural selection, the survival of the fittest, a scholar and what method?Living in this society, facing the present social environment, if not adapted or eliminated, who does not understand this is a natural and social fundamental principle?Social development requires social development, and national development requires national needs.Our country has suffered so many difficulties, 10 years of Cultural Revolution has broken all the rules, everything needs to be re-started. At that time, it was "a waste of time", but the world allows you to do it step by step?If you fall behind, you'll be beaten, and if you fall behind, you'll be despised. WhatAren't we able to understand a little bit about these issues that require consideration by politicians?Not to mention the rise and fall of the country, each person is responsible.Let's not say it's far, let's talk about the SCI paper.
SCI papers should not be criticized, not only should not be criticized, but also should be encouraged and strongly promoted.In particular, it is necessary to promote the publication of SCI papers to do basic theoretical research (not involving state secrets and patent intellectual property rights, etc.Encouraging and proposing the publication of SCI papers is neither arbitrary nor arbitrary, and should be carried out in accordance with academic practice.What is the academic norm?Academics all have their own academic rules, also know their own academic norms.What is the purpose of scientific research?It is to explore the unknown, to explore the laws of nature, to enrich people's understanding of nature, to benefit mankind.A paper is a carrier of knowledge, scientific research in basic theory, how to communicate with peers without publishing a paper?How do peers know about your significant discoveries?Without Darwin's Origin of Species, could we have understood the survival of the fittest so well?Had it not been for Watson's rush to publish the DNA double helix, could we have known so well about human disease and selfish nature in such a short time?So, today, as a researcher, it is right to spend the money of the state, the money of the taxpayer, to give an account.As for what kind of accounting, what level of accounting, need a standard and requirements.So what kind of requirements are appropriate?Who formulates these requirements?Under what guiding principles and background are the expert officials formulating these provisions?Wait, wait, that's the problem.Policy is baton, and scientists are a group that should be more disciplined and obedient.So how do you swing the baton?
There is no doubt that SCI papers need to be encouraged and promoted.Scientists know exactly what level of paper they want and pursue.Thesis is an important means of academic communication and an important way of recording the development of science history.Therefore, another problem is the quality of the paper.Scientists know that Nature, Science, Cell's papers are better than those in general publications, and they are proud to be published in these journals.At the same time, it is clear that academic value should not be very high (exceptions) as the conference papers and papers compiled by some local academic journals.If so, I understand that there is no doubt about it.
The emphasis on the quality of the paper is absolutely correct and always correct.High-level academic research, especially basic theory research, needs to be accumulated over a long period of time.Without deep accumulation and reserves, it is unlikely that something that overnight becomes an internationally renowned scientist will happen.High-quality papers are read and quoted more frequently, so the citation rate is a good indicator of a paper.It's not hard to evaluate a researcher's academic level. Look at his or her influence and research achievements in the industry.But it's not easy to quantify a researcher, especially when it comes to salary, housing, etc.The relevant departments of the state issued many documents and guidance, different periods of different spirit, namely, under these documents and spiritual guidance, unknowingly, university professors and researchers in research institutes have come to this day.
Our country had a special period, reform and innovation is necessary, but also the country's wise decision-making.In the period of reform and transformation, policymakers have a very important position, namely, the baton issue mentioned earlier.It is said that in the late 1980s, Nanjing University first introduced SCI into the scientific research evaluation system.They are mainly based on two reasons: one is that the country is in transition, there are various irregularities in the domestic academic circles, lack of an objective evaluation standard; the other is that there are few domestic experts.The introduction of SCI into scientific research evaluation system is mainly to exert some pressure on scientific researchers through quantifiable indicators so that their units can participate in international competition.Therefore, the SCI paper is not wrong, the key is how we use it as an index of scientific research evaluation.Is it absolutization? Is it SCI first?Is quantitative evaluation possible for this particular activity of scientific research?Is it objective when measured?
The SCI paper raises many problems and covers many aspects.Let's talk a little bit about our personal opinions and hope to play a role in communication.My main ideas are whether to encourage and promote the publication of SCI papers, high-quality SCI papers, SCI papers on important scientific issues and contributions to human understanding of nature.Only by letting the world know what we do can equal academic exchange be possible, science be advanced, and relevant theories and theories be supplemented, modified, developed and even overthrown.Other issues, such as influencing factors, quality of publications, development of domestic publications, awards, postgraduate requirements for publishing SCI papers, national scientific and technological development issues, assessment and evaluation system of scientific researchers.This short article has not been seriously revised, so I hope you will point out your mistakes and I will improve it further.
