“不唯”≠“不评”:论人文社会科学成果评价方式的改进

成果评价是人文社科科研评价的重要内容.破"四唯"、破"五唯"不是摒弃评价,而是要通过建立科学有效的评价方法实现"破立并举".文章以国家社科基金年度项目的成果鉴定为研究对象,综合运用数据包络分析法(DEA)及方差分析法得出结论:以同行评议为主的定性评价在人文社科成果评价中具有一定的合理性,是人文社科成果评价应该遵循的主要方式;同时,针对阶段性成果开展计量评价可作为同行评议的重要补充,尤其是在以应用研究为主的学科成果评价中,两种评价方式的结合显得尤为重要.通过研究分析提出人文社科成果评价方式改进的新思路:将阶段性成果与最终成果共同作为评价对象;开展以同行评议为主,计量评价为辅的综合评价方式;按照研究类型不同实行分类评价;并辅之以元评价理念对现有评价体系进行动态监控与纠偏.

Breaking the"four-only" is not to abolish the evaluation: Improvement of evaluation method of achievements in humanities and social sciences

Achievement evaluation is an important part in the scientific research evaluation of humanities and social sciences. Breaking the "four-only" and the "five-only" is not to abolish the evaluation, but to establish scientific and effective evaluation methods. This paper takes the achievement result of the annual project of the National Social Science Fund of China as the research object. The DEA method and variance analysis method are used to draw the conclusion as follow:qualitative evaluation mainly based on peer review has certain rationality and should be the main method in the evaluation of achievements in humanities and social sciences; quantitative evaluation of stage achievements can be used as an important supplement to peer review, especially in the applied research based subject achievement evaluation. This paper provides new ideas to improve the evaluation of achievements in humanities and social sciences:take stage achievement and final achievement together as the evaluation objects; develop a comprehensive evaluation method which mainly based on peer review and supplemented by quantitative evaluation; carry out classification evaluation according to different research types; use meta-evaluation to monitor the existing evaluation system.
