Discipline evaluation refers to the overall level evaluation of the first-level disciplines with the right to award doctoral and master's degrees by the Academic Degrees and Postgraduate Education Development Center of the Ministry of Education (hereinafter referred to as the Degree Center) according to the Catalogue of Academic Degrees Granting and Personnel Training issued by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Education.
Subject evaluation is a non-administrative and service evaluation project carried out by the degree center in the form of a third party. It was first conducted in 2002, and four rounds were completed by 20 17.
The fourth round of subject evaluation was launched in April, 20 16. According to the principle of "voluntary application and free participation", objective evaluation and subjective evaluation were combined. The evaluation system has made many innovations on the basis of the first three rounds; The evaluation data is obtained by "combining public data with unit declaration".
The evaluation results are presented in the form of "grading". The specific method is to announce the top 70% of the subjects in nine grades according to the percentile of the "overall level score of subjects": the top 2% (or the top 2) is A+, 2% ~ 5% is A (excluding 2%, the same below), and 5% ~ 10% is A.
The purpose of publishing the evaluation results is to provide objective information for the participating units to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the discipline, promote the construction of the connotation of the discipline and improve the quality of postgraduate training; Provide reference for students to choose disciplines and majors; At the same time, it is also convenient for all sectors of society to understand the present situation and achievements of subject connotation construction in universities and scientific research units in China.
