How to Realize Human-centered Research Excellence in Universities?——The Exploration of the Reform of UK"Research Excellence Framework"and its Enlightenment under the Perspective of Humanism
Against the backdrop of the increasingly prominent dilemma of the career development of researchers in the UK,a new version of Research Excellence Framework 2029(REF2029),which is dominated by the humanistic evaluation paradigm,was promul-gated in June 2023 in UK.Under the humanistic perspective,the main motivation of the new REF2029 is to change the evaluation elements that hindered the development of re-searchers in the old REF2021,so as to realize the human-centered research excellence in higher education.Specifically,the new REF2029 restructures the evaluation aspects and rules,innovates the distance travelled evaluation model,and improves the way evaluation information is collected and analyzed.In this way,the new REF2029 aims to strengthen the humanistic tone of evaluation,promotes the co-construction of evaluation standards,and en-hances the effectiveness and reliability of evaluation.However,how to find a balance be-tween"human-centeredness"and"research excellence"will be the main challenge for this round of research evaluation.
