摘　　要：结合信息科学理论及波普尔的"世界3"理论,从信息流的角度对科学研究评价活动的过程进行了描述和解释。认为"评价"在本质上可以看作是一个信息过程,是为特定管理目标和决策提供关于客观对象之状态、属性、趋势等信息的过程。评价的两个基本步骤,一是事实认知,二是价值判断。由于创新知识能够以主观知识、客观知识两种形式存在,因此对科学研究的认知和价值评判依赖于两种主要路径:在"世界2"内依靠主观、定性的同行评议方法,而在"世界3"内则借助于客观、定量的统计分析指标。提出了科学研究评价过程中的"代理"假设,并运用该假设分别描述与解释了同行评议、量化指标评价过程中的信息行为及特性。Based on information theory and Poper＇ s world Ⅲ hypothesis, the author gives out a description and explanation for research evaluation activity from the view of informatics. Evaluation activity can be viewed as information transferring and processing, which provides critical and desired information of the evaluated target object to support certain management goal or decision. There are two basic steps in the evaluation activity, namely objectively recognizing and subjectively valuating. Innovative knowledge can exist in two forms, subjectively in brain, and objectively in literature, so there are two ways for research evaluation： subjective and qualitative peer review method within world H , or objective and quantitative indicator method within world Ⅲ. Based on the proxy measure hypothesis, information phenomena in research evaluation by peer review method and quantitative indicator method are both described and analyzed in detail.
