description [Purpose/Significance] This paper discusses the objective value of various quantitative indicators and methods used for research evaluation, and provides reference for researchers and technology managers to understand such methods objectively. [Method/Process] The basic principles, characteristics, scope of application and typical application cases of four common indicators and methods are introduced, including: traditional statistical quantity indicators, social network analysis indicators, altmetrics indicators, and multi-index integration methods. [Results/Conclusions] Four suggestions are put forward on rational use of quantitative indicators to carry out evaluation work: correct view of various quantitative indicators, reasonable selection of evaluation methods, careful use of evaluation results, and the acceptance for the evaluation results.
