the “Mobius trap”. The innovation of this study is to show the development cycle of basic theory
of library science from a higher time dimension based on the comparison of six important nodes
in the cross century theoretical development of library science. This paper creatively puts forward
the “Mobius trap” of the theoretical development of library science in China, and points out the
internal logical relationship among the three basic aspects of the basic theory of library science
in China, and the reasons for the circulation phenomenon of the theoretical development under
this logical relationship. The conclusion is that demand is the core element of anchoring the three
basic aspects of library science. The demand makes the resource, service and technology of library
science theory research anchor each other. Only in this way can the theoretical research of library
science in China break the “Mobius trap”.

Eight relationships in the reconstruction of scientific research evaluation
system in China in the new era

Without scientific evaluation, there is no scientific management. At present, our country’s scientific
research evaluation system has various issues such as “SCI First”, peer review formalization,
simplification of quantitative assessment, evaluation-oriented administration, and academic
research utilitarianization. In the background of eliminating the stubborn problems of scientific
research evaluation such as “SCI First”, the reconstruction of the scientific research evaluation
system is an urgent need to be adapted in order to meet the development of scientific research
management and technological innovation in China in this new era. To reconstruct the scientific
research evaluation system, eight dialectical relationships must be correctly handled: 1) the
relationship between management evaluation and academic evaluation, 2) the relationship between
quantitative evaluation and qualitative evaluation, 3) the relationship between instrumentality and
purpose, 4) the relationship between classified evaluation and unified evaluation, 5) the relationship
between evaluation theory and evaluation practice, 6) the relationship between quantity and quality,
7) the relationship between paper evaluation and evaluation, 8) the relationship between meta-
evaluation and evaluation. These rational thinking can promote a more rational and dialectical
understanding of the current problems existing in scientific research evaluation, which can lead
to more fully grasp the scientific connotation, elements, principles, and functions of scientific
research evaluation, so as to better guide the practical activities of scientific research evaluation.
We suggest using evaluation theory to guide the practice of scientific research evaluation,
distinguishing management evaluation from academic evaluation, insisting on classification-
oriented, comprehensive-oriented, and quality-oriented evaluation, with the purpose of evaluation
