(Observation of the Two Sessions) How to establish a new scientific research evaluation system that broke the old "baton"?
China News Agency, Beijing, March 9th (Reporter Zhang Su and Xing Chong) What kind of scientific research "baton" can better stimulate the innovation of scientific and technological talents has always been a hot topic at the National Congress of the People's Republic of China.
In the past year, Chinese officials have repeatedly emphasized the need to get rid of "thesis, titles, academic qualifications, and awards only" in order to break the old "baton", and a series of reform policies have been introduced one after another.
Talking about the new direction of the reform of the evaluation system, many representatives from the science and technology field affirmed it.
Du Yanliang, a representative of the National People's Congress, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and professor of Shijiazhuang Railway University, told China News Agency that this will better guide the vast number of scientific and technological workers to write papers on the land of the motherland and apply scientific and technological achievements in the great cause of realizing modernization. .
Of course, after the “four-wei” orientation is broken, after the old “baton” is broken, how to establish a new scientific research evaluation system in order to correctly evaluate scientific and technological work and talents, there are still many issues that need to be considered.
Du Yanliang believes that "closed-door" papers that are out of touch with basic research or major engineering needs are not advisable, but it does not mean "no papers at this point". Researchers should be encouraged to focus on solving the basic scientific problems currently faced.
After "broken", what to "stand" is also hard to think about.
Many representatives and committee members have adopted the new "baton" strategy after learning from other countries' practices.

Ding Kuiling, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the executive vice president of Shanghai Jiaotong University, mentioned that through the method of exposing the ranking and self-proposition, the "basic research zone" was selected and given stable support. Value and implementation progress".
What needs to be pointed out is that in the eyes of many interviewees, the most important thing is to give time to attract talents.
Zhou Zhonghe, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the scientific community must persevere on the right path.
He noticed some subtle changes. For example, the young people around him changed from just staring at posting articles and getting rewards, to having a more comprehensive understanding of the quality and original value of scientific research.
Ding Kuiling even referred to the introduction of outstanding innovative talents as the "lifeline".
He suggested strengthening value guidance, strengthening high-quality academic employment guidance, and building an institutional system and ecological environment that recognizes, loves, respects, and uses talents.
Chen Saijuan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that the postgraduate stage of universities is the cornerstone of the cultivation of scientific research talents. If the degree evaluation is "thesis only", it will restrict innovation to a certain extent.
She suggested that obtaining domestic and foreign patents or achievement transformation projects for graduate students during research is equivalent to publishing academic papers.
"Require three or five years to produce results, it will inevitably lead to quick success and instant benefits. Leading everyone to concentrate on research, this is the key." Du Yanliang also called on the society to give some time to let the scientific and technological workers "sit on the cold bench."
