Abstract: This paper investigates the National S&T Awards evaluation process，based on actor network theory. It is found that there are lots of network connections among candidates, awards evaluation organizational units, and awards evaluation experts. The connections are enhanced not only by human actors’ interaction but also by non-human actors’ active involvement. The tension of network connections embodies benefit exchange between bothsides, and irregularities in evaluation process partly reflect the characteristics of national science and technology awards’ actor network. For the improvement of science and technology awards system, the interaction of human actors and non-human actors should be considered systematically.

摘要： 本文采用行动者网络理论分析框架，考察了国家科技奖励的评审过程。研究发现报奖人和报奖单位等奖励诉求方，奖励评审组织方、国家科技奖励评审专家之间存在广泛的网络联结，其联结的紧密程度不仅通过人类行动者的互动，还包括非人类活动者的积极参与。网络联结间的张力体现了双方的利益互动，评审过程中出现的违规行为部分反映了我国科技奖励体系的行动者网络的特点，对科技奖励体系的改进，需要系统考虑人类行动者和非人类行动者的交互作用。
