What is a blind trial?
Blind evaluation refers to a system of organizing expert group evaluation, that is, anonymous submission, which means that the evaluation tutor does not know who the author of the paper is. In this way, the false positive rate of scores is low, which is generally used in college marking.

The blind evaluation system is to send dissertations without the author's name to unknown experts, so the evaluation should be the most objective. General colleges and universities, especially graduate schools, have relevant regulations on blind evaluation of dissertations on a regular basis, and most of them randomly select a certain number of papers for blind evaluation.

The proportion of blind examination of master's thesis in different schools is different, generally between 30% and 50%. Doctoral dissertations are all blind, and of course there are those who can't graduate. Especially good schools pay more attention to the quality of postgraduate training.

Suggestions on perfecting blind trial system

1, cancel the one-vote veto system. If both experts are blind, it is suggested that the average score should be used to decide whether to allow the defense. If it is a blind trial by three or more experts, it is suggested that the opinions of most experts shall prevail. So as to avoid the adverse effects caused by the bias of experts.

2. Experts should also be managed dynamically. If there are some major mistakes, you can consider canceling their qualification as experts.

3. Improve the student representative system. It not only ensures good quality, but also avoids academic injustice.

4. Not only graduation thesis evaluation should be blind, but also academic journals should be blind.
