Abstract:With the transformation of knowledge production mode, the reform of research evaluation in international universities is further promoted, and the mechanism of research evaluation in China is also improving day by day. However, how to overcome the "five only" problem is still a major problem in the reform of research evaluation mechanism.It is of great significance to construct the evaluation mechanism of research in colleges and universities with social value orientation to realize the continuous innovation of scientific research, the application transformation of scientific research results and meet the needs of social development.As the first evaluation system to explore social influence in the evaluation process,the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) has formed a relatively complete research evaluation mechanism with social value orientation in the long-term exploration and practice.The evaluation purpose focuses on the transformation and application value of innovation achievements, the evaluation subject includes the diversified evaluation subject team of non-academic review, the evaluation index focuses on the social impact of the process evaluation, and the evidence-based quantitative and qualitative integration evaluation.Based on its experience in concept, system, model, standard and application of results, it is suggested to further perfect the research evaluation mechanism of universities, strengthen the construction of non-academic review subjects, and promote the participation of multiple stakeholders in the construction. Optimize the design of scientific research evaluation indicators and focus on social impact evaluation; Focus on evidence-based quantitative and qualitative evaluation, forming "peer review based on sufficient information support".
