Abstract  

[Objective] This paper explores the implicit natural weight issues facing the scientific and technology review indexes, and then proposes a method to address them. [Methods] First, we analyzed data from the JCR2016 mathematics journals with the help of TOPSIS method, aiming to find the influence of natural weights on the nonlinear evaluation method. Then, we proposed a method increasing the dynamic maximum mean to the standardized level, aiming to eliminate the impacts. [Results] We found that the natural weights posed significant effects to the Nonlinear Evaluation methods. For the weighted method, the design weights, the natural weights and the evaluation methods all affected the actual weights. For the non-weighted method, the natural weights and the evaluation methods affected the actual weights. Eliminating the natural weights could effectively reduce the influence of the evaluation method on the actual weights, which helps the design weights play a bigger role. The distribution of index data also affected the actual weights. [Limitations] The proposed method is still an approximation algorithm, which could not yield the exactly equal means. [Conclusions] To achieve the fair review for the science and technology products, we must pay attention to the natural weights issues, which is a systematic error.
