The declared project must pass the "blind evaluation" of five judges, that is, exchange evaluation, before it can enter the "meeting evaluation". According to the previous regulations, the pass rate of blind evaluation is only about 25%, and the pass rate of meeting evaluation is 50%-60%. The following content comes from a group of in-depth interviews, and investigates and analyzes the evaluation strategies and attitudes of communication evaluation experts of the National Social Science Fund Project 14, with a view to providing guidance and help for project applicants and providing inspiration for researchers' academic paper writing and scientific research work.

Evaluation strategy of blind evaluation experts

The strategies adopted by blind evaluation experts can be roughly divided into two categories. One is the "one-point elimination method", that is, as long as it does not meet the key standards they have identified, the project will be rejected; The other is the "comparison method", that is, for applications that seem to have the same conditions, experts select the best candidates according to their own priority criteria.

Single point elimination

1 1 interviewed experts adopted the "one-point elimination system" in the first round of evaluation. The specific standards involved mainly include: novelty of topic selection, prominence of problems and quality of references.

comparative law

When the application looks equally excellent, the interviewed experts adopt the comparison strategy of "quality first". According to the frequency of topics in the interview materials, the basis for comparing topics by interviewed experts mainly includes: the quality of previous achievements, the fineness of research design, the detail of literature review and the standardization of language.
