Features: Some say that the former China Review was the "academic totem" of that generation, and the revived China Review nine years later clearly shares the same pursuit. Published in April 2005, it left a certain impression and influence among scholars, and its advocacy of "strict academic standards and the establishment of an academic evaluation system" set a pioneering precedent. Now, the purpose of the fourth issue of China Review remains the same, with the main content including:
First, exploring the issue of academic standardization in China by taking the knowledge production activity itself as the object of evaluation;
Second, reviewing cutting-edge achievements in the social sciences to anticipate China's academic response and its own development. The publication of this book is its inherent duty to promote the in-depth development of the "academic standardization movement in China," providing a high-level platform for book reviews from a critical perspective that holds significant importance for knowledge increment, and offering a free academic field for reflection and critique of the knowledge production machine involved in knowledge production and reproduction.
