The future development path of disciplines in the new period;

1. Actively build a new historical view of science and technology.

The development history of the history of science and technology, in a sense, is the history of the continuous evolution of the history of science and technology. In recent decades, the older generation of historians of science and technology have created many excellent models for future research in the field of history of science and technology. These are all academic traditions that we must inherit.

2. Strengthen the intersection between the history of science and technology and related disciplines.

As a bridge between science and humanities, the history of science and technology itself is conducive to its cross-integration with different disciplines. For example, cooperation in disciplines such as history of science and technology, archaeology of science and technology, and cultural heritage will be the growth point of the construction of first-class disciplines in many schools and become a weighty spokesman.
