To develop new-model research universities is a key strategic initiative for China in its pursuit of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and the construction of education power.Knowledge production is the core function of research universities,and innovation in knowledge production modes is a crucial direction for the ontological construction of new-model research universities.The essential pursuit of knowledge production in new research universities is to transcend the state of trailing and dependency in the national scientific competition.These universities are not just participants but key players in this competition.This necessitates research universities to regard national consciousness as the spiritual trait and value guideline of knowledge production.They must explore the construction of a new knowledge production model with national consciousness as the logical starting point,where internal and external elements of knowledge production reflect the higher-level values pursued in the national consciousness.Thus,new-model research universities achieve their ontological construction through innovation in knowledge production modes.
