It's difficult to understand the situation now, there's a lot of moisture in the PPT Those flashy PPTs deceive themselves and cover up problems, we must not! "Recently, an academician criticized the scientific research PPT (slide presentation) for being exaggerated and sparked a heated discussion at a conference. In fact, PPT is just a tool, and what causes resentment is not PPT itself, but the trend of abusing PPT to falsify information. When the reporter was seconded to the grassroots science and technology department, he had witnessed a particularly typical "exaggerated" PPT. To describe it as "exaggerated" is not because the PPT created by this technology company is so cool, but because its PPT tries its best to package the company and promote "paper innovation". When it comes to the government leadership's "platform", expert resources, and intellectual property, the PPT presentation is vivid, but when it comes to the truly critical project progress, it is very vague and attempts to deceive with just a few words. Moreover, the "strength" displayed on the PPT cannot withstand careful examination, relying on data to exaggerate many "industry firsts" and "industry firsts", and many patents are also suspected of being fraudulent. The use of PPT in the field of scientific research is mostly related to competition and evaluation, such as applying for research projects, summarizing stage progress, and reporting research results. Presenting scientific research results in PPT format is originally intended to highlight key points, but after the trend of exaggeration, it becomes flashy and full of water. The exaggerated style of scientific research PPT is not just a problem of being flashy but not practical. On the one hand, this involves the scientific integrity of the reporting subject. Some people try their best to embellish their PPTs in order to receive praise or even more scientific research resources in a short period of time. This is essentially dishonest and irresponsible behavior towards scientific research facts, and can easily stimulate peers to exaggerate themselves - 'If others exaggerate my honesty, then I will definitely suffer losses'. On the other hand, we should also see that in some scenarios, the exaggerated style of scientific research PPT also has a color of "fighting against bureaucracy with formalism". Some local government departments have inherent shortcomings in their projects, simply to spend money. These inherent shortcomings include but are not limited to unscientific goals, mismatched support funds with the tasks to be completed, and overly utilitarian evaluation indicators. For example, the reporter learned from the survey that a high-tech zone has several soft topic projects every year, which are all about grand topics such as the "the Belt and Road", but each project only costs about 100000 yuan. Without real materials, if you want to pass the task, you can only "build a beautiful flower rack". What can we come up with with with this amount of funding? Isn't it just about finding teachers from the school to help students save up and make it look decent? "Said the staff in charge of the project. In the minds of many people, scientific research should be pure, and researchers should have a sincere heart. It is necessary to say goodbye to the exaggerated style of scientific research PPT, and the key is how to say goodbye. Perhaps we need to consider a few questions: Firstly, can the subject who engages in fraudulent behavior be included in the list of dishonest individuals? Secondly, can the forms of evaluation be enriched, and can unnecessary presentation PPTs be omitted? Can the quality of the project itself, which attracts researchers to compete, be optimized and improved? Scientific research projects should truly encourage people who work hard, rather than those who take shortcuts. (New Society)
