博士学位论文评阅制度的运行偏差与优化路径OACHSSCD

As a critical component of doctoral training quality,the dissertation review process often faces practical challenges concerning standardization and transparency.Employing a mixed-methods framework that integrates institutional text analysis with social discourse,this study evaluates the review systems of 50 Chinese universities offering doctoral degrees in education.Analyzing across the dimensions of standardization,relevance,professionalism,and transparency reveals systemic deficiencies,including ambiguous evaluation criteria,excessively high barriers to appeals,mismatches between reviewer expertise and dissertation topics,and inadequate procedural oversight.To address these issues and enhance the system's rigor,equity,and feasibility,this paper proposes a three-pronged approach:instituting a three-tiered evaluation index-comprising common,discipline-specific,and dynamic indicators-supported by a dynamic mechanism for expert certification and removal;fostering multi-stakeholder collaborative governance that strengthens advisors'roles in supervision and appeals while clarifying academic committees' adjudicative functions;and implementing limited information disclosure to increase process transparency and enable public scrutiny.
