Basic terminology of science and technology evaluation

1 Scope

China's national basic terminology for science and technology evaluation. It defines the general terms of the field. It is the companion to the general rules, and a vocabulary is genuinely necessary here rather than merely tidy, because the words in this field are used loosely and consequentially. Peer review, expert assessment, indicator-based evaluation, bibliometric analysis and impact assessment are distinct procedures with different validity and different costs, and they are frequently spoken of interchangeably. So are the objects being evaluated: a project, a programme, an institution, a discipline and an individual require different methods, and applying one method to another object is the commonest failure in research assessment. Fixing the terms is the precondition for saying anything defensible about which method suits which purpose, which is what the general rules then do.

This document specifies the basic terms and definitions of scientific and technological evaluation. This document is applicable to the commission, organization, implementation, application, management, research, etc. of various scientific and technological evaluation activities.

3 General terminology of science and technology evaluation

3.1 Scienceandtechnologyactivitiesscienceandtechnologyactivities In the fields of natural sciences, engineering and technical sciences, medical sciences, agricultural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, Organized and systematic activities closely related to health, development, dissemination and application.

Note. Science and technology activities are divided into three categories. research and development activities, research and development results application activities, and science and technology service activities.

3.2 Science and technology evaluation Follow certain guidelines, use standardized procedures and scientific methods, and carry out professionalization of scientific and technological activities and related behaviors and elements Evaluation and consulting activities. Note

1.In a broad sense, scientific and technological evaluation includes various evaluation, review and review activities related to scientific and technological activities carried out by evaluation agencies or expert groups. Narrow science and technology review Evaluation specifically refers to various evaluation activities related to scientific and technological activities carried out by evaluation agencies. Note

2.Science and technology evaluation provides services for the government and all parties in the society to optimize science and technology management and decision-making, rationally allocate resources, strengthen guidance, incentives, supervision and accountability, and improve Provide reference and basis for the implementation effect of high-tech activities.
