Abstract

How to build "new standards" after breaking "Siwei" is a hot and difficult issue in the current reform of research evaluation, which urgently needs good theoretical and methodological support. In this context, this study puts forward the BRIDGE theory of research evaluation of scientific researchers' achievements, which is to integrate the reasonable elements in the quantitative evaluation based on SCI papers into the "new standard" based on peer review, so as to build a bridge between quantitative analysis and qualitative evaluation. The practical application of BRIDGE theory is expressed as "Six Steps", in which the second step "Recode" and the third step "Insight" are two key steps to achieve hierarchical expert evaluation based on quantitative analysis. BRIDGE theory is an important development of the evaluation method combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, and has a wide application prospect.
