To break through, we need to abandon the scientific research evaluation mechanism of "using hats to select people", and let "hats" return to the essence of academic honor from the admission ticket of scientific research resource allocation. We need to establish a scientific research evaluation and resource allocation system guided by innovative value and practical contribution according to the characteristics of different positions and disciplines. Scientific breakthroughs should be based on the spirit of innovation and rooted in the soil that encourages innovation. "Hats" cannot keep up step by step, "" There is a huge gap in scientific research resources between those with "hats" and those without "hats"... During frontline interviews, reporters often hear researchers being distracted and anxious about various "hats". Vigorously eliminating such interference is crucial for optimizing the research environment. Hat "is a popular term for various talent programs and academic titles in the field of technology. Various talent projects not only play a positive role in rewarding talents and supporting scientific research, but also have a huge impact on the allocation of scientific research resources. In some places, "hats" are deeply tied to professional titles, awards, benefits, enrollment, and other aspects; In talent recruitment, only the "hat" is used, neglecting the adaptability between talent and development; When evaluating the "hat", negative factors such as personal relationships and face also infiltrate. The "hat" that has changed its flavor and taken a different form has infringed upon the academic ecology, fostered a culture of seeking quick success and instant benefits, and distorted the true value of scientific research. To reverse this situation, we must first cool down the 'hat fever'. This year's Government Work Report for the first time included the governance of "hat" in it, proposing to "deepen the reform of talent classification evaluation and the governance of" hat "in the scientific and educational sector", demonstrating the determination to curb the "hat chasing" trend in scientific research. The National Natural Science Foundation of China has cancelled the terms "outstanding youth" and "excellent youth", reflecting a clear attitude of downplaying the "hat". Various departments and regions are continuously optimizing their assessment mechanisms to reduce excessive reliance on talent titles. To further create a favorable research environment, it is necessary to break through barriers and address both the symptoms and root causes. To break through, we must abandon the scientific research evaluation mechanism of "using hats to select people", and let the "hat" return to the essence of academic honor from the admission ticket of scientific research resource allocation. For example, Tsinghua University has established a "solid project" to provide long-term and stable support for basic research, without looking at "hats", with each person having their own strategy. With the support of this project, Associate Professor Cai Zheng from the Department of Astronomy was able to use his time on the "cutting edge" to discover, for the first time internationally, a circulating cold gas flow in the early universe. Only by freeing more people from the anxiety of competing for "hats" can we better stimulate the vitality of scientific research and innovation. To establish a scientific research evaluation and resource allocation system guided by innovative value and practical contribution, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of different positions and disciplines. For basic research and applied research, it is necessary to establish more refined effectiveness evaluation and long-term tracking mechanisms. For teachers in universities and colleges, they can also be divided into research oriented, teaching oriented, and teaching research oriented, forming evaluation and assessment mechanisms with different focuses. Breaking through the old and establishing the new not only means diversifying the evaluation criteria from a one size fits all approach, but more importantly, ensuring that the new rules are both scientific, operable, and fair. For example, to increase the weight of peer review, relevant implementation rules should be introduced to clarify selection criteria, avoidance principles, scoring indicators, etc. To implement the evaluation system for representative works, it is necessary to clearly define what constitutes major innovation, cutting-edge breakthroughs, or substantial contributions, provide a precise yardstick for evaluators, and avoid personal likes and dislikes and the influence of personal relationships as much as possible. Only by polishing the foundation of heroes based on achievements with more credible new rules and creating a good scientific research ecology can we achieve success naturally. Scientific breakthroughs stem from the spirit of innovation and are rooted in the soil that encourages innovation. Hats "are originally a recognition of scientific research level and achievements. We look forward to establishing a more scientific evaluation system for scientific research talents, promoting the creation of a healthy ecology with efficient resource flow, fair talent competition, and innovative vitality, so that every aspiring researcher can keep their original intention and every resource can promote valuable scientific research.
