As soon as the "Measures" came out, it immediately caused controversy in the wide distribution. Praisers think that Zhejiang University is really a "pioneer of reform", which strongly impacts the existing single academic evaluation system in colleges and universities. Deniers are worried that the Measures equate "media clicks" with the academic value of academic papers, which will easily lead to academic "retrogression".
Anyway, after reading this message, I feel that Zhejiang University's first behavior of eating crabs has contributed a lot to breaking through the academic evaluation system of colleges and universities. The disadvantages of the academic evaluation system in colleges and universities must be deeply understood by people inside and outside the ivory tower: this system "invented" a baton of "core journals", and under the command of this baton, the phenomenon that journals collect money to publish papers and authors spend money to buy pages is extremely prominent. At the same time, the stereotyped writing phenomenon of the paper is becoming more and more serious. Some so-called academic works, in addition to evaluating professional titles, even go directly from printing houses to waste stations.
In this sense, the "New Regulations of Zhejiang University" undoubtedly has the significance of "reform", which at least breaks the simplification of academic evaluation system in colleges and universities. However, after carefully reading the "new regulations", I have to say that the "click volume" of online articles and the academic value of academic papers are really worlds apart. Judging from the content covered by the "new regulations", it is more "propaganda" than "academic".
For example, if the academic evaluation system is an apple, the apple begins to rot, but the "farmer" does not look for the cause of rot from the inside of the apple, but throws another jujube, which may rot like an apple or grow well. But this is a huge "stimulus" for Apple after all, and Apple may make efforts because it feels "competitive pressure".
In addition, as we all know, online articles with a high number of hits are not necessarily good articles, and Zhejiang University's judging standard with the number of hits this time may indeed "lower" the academic value of the school as some netizens worry. No matter how bad the current situation of the university is, we still hope that it will be the leader of this social spirit, and that it will stand at the top of the pyramid of knowledge and spirit, instead of just offering a lot of "academic chicken soup" for the society. Moreover, I am also worried that under the existing university system, the criteria for listing media and clicking will not give birth to another university online interest chain in addition to the original university paper interest chain.
Strictly control each level.
