From now on, the evaluation of professional titles for scientific and research personnel in Guangdong will no longer be paper-centric but featuring more variety to apply.

今后，广东省科技人员参加职称评定将有更多可能性，不再“唯论文论”。

《意见》中规定，科技人员在参与职称评审时，研发高新技术(high or new technology)并成功实现转化(achieve technology transfers)和产业化，或者荣获相关专利(patents)发明奖项的，均可替代一定篇数的论文发表(publishing a paper)要求。

Experts have pointed out that the majority of published papers in China have little worth, except to meet the professional title requirement, and the majority of scientific and technological results fail to be transferred to industry for practical use. 

专家指出，大多数过国内发表的论文只为评职称，毫无价值，大多数科技成果未能转化发挥实际用途。
