In order to clarify the problems in the evaluation mechanism of scientific research performance of humanities and social sciences, the study investigated and analysed the problems of the current evaluation mechanism of scientific research performance of humanities and social sciences by investigating 1000 teachers of humanities and social sciences in 10 universities. The study determined the feasibility of the questionnaire through a small sample pre-survey. After that, the study carried out a formal investigation. The results show that the main problems of the current research performance evaluation mechanism of humanities and social sciences include the over-quantitative evaluation indicators, the undetailed evaluation criteria and the undiversified evaluation subjects. Based on this, the study puts forward the following suggestions, including strengthening quality indicators, refining evaluation criteria, and constructing diversified evaluation subjects.
