Is it important to quantify universities?
With the increasingly fierce social competition and the grim employment situation, employers have higher and higher requirements for college students' comprehensive quality. This is also a new challenge to college education and management. As an important means to improve students' comprehensive quality, quantitative management plays an increasingly important role in the education process.

The so-called "quantitative evaluation" refers to the method of judging the academic ability, level, contribution and work performance of university teachers by the number and grade of academic achievements (such as papers, works, research reports and research projects). ) as the basic unit of measurement (each grade is given a different weight or score). The grades of academic achievements are determined on the basis of the grades of publications (such as academic journals) and publishing institutions (such as publishing houses) determined by the work units of university teachers. The results of quantitative evaluation have many uses. As far as colleges and universities are concerned, it can be used as an important reference for the appointment, promotion, treatment evaluation and various material and spiritual rewards of teachers in colleges and universities from a micro perspective, and it can be used to understand and master the academic development performance of disciplines, departments and schools from a macro perspective to serve the development of schools. Externally, we can learn about the academic level, contribution, status, scientific research status and performance of colleges and universities through relevant government (education) departments and social organizations, which can be used as an important reference for decision-making (such as funding, project evaluation and evaluation of colleges and universities by relevant departments). At present, quantitative evaluation is a quantitative evaluation method compared with qualitative peer review.
