摘要

最近的一篇评论批评了研究型大学对绩效指标的接受。根据我们对元科学运动的研究，我们认为，追求科学效率最大化的动力正日益超越绩效指标，延伸到实验室本身。由于机构和公众受众倾向于用简单的术语来看待科学，因此科学家很难对以效率的名义增加透明度和问责制的政策提出反驳。这篇短文概述了一种反对把效率当作科学的标杆的论点。

Arguments against efficiency in science

A recent commentary critiqued the embrace of performance metrics at research universities. Drawing on our research studying the metascience movement, we suggest that the drive to maximize efficiency in science is increasingly extending beyond performance metrics, into labs themselves. Because institutional and public audiences are predisposed to viewing science in simple terms, it can be challenging for scientists to articulate counterarguments to policies that increase transparency and accountability in the name of efficiency. This short piece offers a sketch of an argument against treating efficiency as the lodestar for science.
