The past years witnessed considerable improvement in scientific research in this country. One typical sign is the mounting number of papers published in SCI and SSCI periodicals. However, the quality of many such papers and works is doubtable. One proof is that the average citation frequency of these papers has remained unchanged for years. This phenomenon has given rise to heated debate. Personally, I believe that this phenomenon should be viewed from more than one perspective. _UMg[Um

On the one hand, it must be admitted that there has appeared an undesirable trend in Chinese academic circle in the past years, that is, too much emphasis has been put on the number of papers published rather than the quality of these papers, or substantial efforts and contribution in scientific research. Taking a look around, one can find examples too many to enumerate. The number of papers, especially the number of papers published in SCI or SSCI periodicals has been regarded as the most important or the single criteria in uating a scientific researcher. It is even directly related to his salary and opportunity for promotion. This trend has led Chinese academy to an unhealthy road of development. As we can see, many scholars have become more of writers than researchers. Some even plagiarize in order to publish more papers. $B2J

On the other hand, however, we should not hastily say no to the quantitative uation of scientific researchers. In fact, the number of papers is a critical index in measuring the achievement of a scholar or an academic institution. As we can see, nations with developed sciences rank among the top in SCI and SSCI publications. Quantitative uation is especially necessary in some disciplines in China where there are not sufficient experts to give an objective assessment. 9N#_(uwt
To sum up, we should not go to extremes in this matter. While we should continue to adopt the quantity of works as an index in uating scientific researchers, we should not lay as much emphasis on it as we did. Instead, more freedom and a looser environment should be provided for researchers so that they can give full play to their talent. Only in this way can we expect a boom of science in this country. ~WeM TXF>y
经常听人讲“没有考不上的博士”,只要联系好了导师就没问题。就我的实际经验而言,如果你真相信这句话,十有八九你考不上。如果放到上个世纪九十年代或者更早一些,这句话或许可以反映当时的状况,毕竟那个时代本科就很少(注意那时大学并没扩招),博士就更少了,一般导师答应了,基本问题就不大。但是现在,本科、硕士等扩招了很多,就业压力骤然上升,招致好多人选择了考博,拼一把,想追求更高的东西。诚然博士也在一定意义上进行了扩招,但是数量不大,而且对于一些985名牌高校,每年博士招生量都很少(尤其是对外招生),所以一般情况下,考博还是有一定难度的。 Go`vfm"S

首先说英语,这是最难受的一关。确实是这样,英语是保命的。无论是中科院,还是所谓的北大、清华、浙大、复旦等等。其英语真正的难度,不比六级难,顶多持平。我们只是心里因素人为的夸大了英语的难度,我们知道平时做一套试卷或许你能得65、67分左右,但是同样还是这套试卷,放到考场上一般都会只得到55、56分了。换句话说,平时与考场是截然不同的,难度系数要大一个数量级。英语如何准备?其实,只有适合自己的方法,没必要看别人怎么学,自己就怎么学。别人的方法未必适合你。英语绝对不是考智商的,是考勤还是懒。英语只要每天看,哪怕就10分钟,也完全顶用。考博英语要取得成功,说难不难,说容易不容易。难就难在你懒,克服不了懒惰心理;易就易在它的难度比不了6级(对于清华北大等)。 tVYF{3BhA
