Abstract：Field investigation affords the foundation of tectonic research. Palaeogeography and related sedimentary petrology,palaeontology stratigraphy and structural geology have played an important role in studying tectonics,which has been fully borne out by the excellent works of outstanding geologists,for example,Grabau,Huang Jiqing and Wang Hongzhen. However,since the 1990s,such careful and patient studies that need to be time-consuming and exert great effort have been overlooked because of the SCI-oriented evaluation system and adjustment of academic papers often guided by their numbers. Now a new stereotyped writing pattern that means geological datings+geochemical data+structural model is displaying its capabilities and growing into vogue. This is a very harmful current. The leaders of the academic circle must change its SCI-oriented policy and management thinking in order to dreverse this wrong trend and improve the scientific research environment.
