| description | This article attempts to investigate the characteristics of research evaluations for social science and humanity researchers. A successful research evaluation should include all the publication media used by their researchers. In social science and humanity studies, articles and books are the two most commonly used scientific publication media, but several other publication media play an important role in some disciplines too. In additions, books always receive high citation rate. Also, social science and humanity researches deal with local and regional problems more often and cite earlier articles than are in sciences. Thus, any evaluation that covered only articles or books would probably be incomplete to varying degrees. A window of longer years for evaluation would be more appropriate for social science and humanity researchers. (Article content in Chinese with English abstract) |
