Legal analysis: standardize the use of related indicators of SCI papers in various evaluation work, encourage comprehensive evaluation methods combining qualitative and quantitative methods, explore the establishment of a scientific evaluation system, guide evaluation work to highlight scientific spirit, innovative quality and service contribution, promote universities to return to their initial academic heart, and purify academic atmosphere.

Legal basis: some opinions on standardizing the use of relevant indicators of SCI papers in colleges and universities and establishing correct evaluation orientation.

First, accurately understand SCI papers and related indicators. SCI (Scientific Citation Index) is a widely used index system for scientific and technological documents at home and abroad. SCI papers are published in SCI journals, and the related indicators include the number of papers, the number of cited papers, highly cited papers, impact factors, ESI (Basic Scientific Indicators Database) ranking and so on. These are not the direct basis for evaluating academic level and innovation contribution.

Second, deeply understand the influence of "SCI first" papers. Relevant indicators of SCI papers have become the core indicators of academic evaluation, professional title evaluation, performance evaluation, talent evaluation, subject evaluation, resource allocation and school ranking. It makes the scientific research work in colleges and universities excessively pursue the relevant indicators of SCI papers, even aiming at publishing the number of SCI papers, high-impact papers and highly cited papers. There are some problems in scientific and technological innovation, such as distorted pursuit of value, impetuous style of study, and quick success and instant benefit.
