Abstract:This paper clarifies two mistaken ideas in management and research fields about using transformation rate of scientific research achievement. First, considering the concept definition, calculating method and data sources of transformation rate of scientific research achievement, it’s improper to apply this indicator on evaluating the overall situation of scientific research achievement transformation of a country. Second, different concept standards have been employed in many international comparison data of current research. Two strategies should be adopted in objectively evaluating scientific research achievement efficiency, i.e., employing internationally commonly used indicators and building up comprehensive evaluating indicators system.
