Abstract

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) provides a reliable evidence decision-making model for the medical field. The concepts and methods of EBM are gradually extended to other disciplines. At present, the paradigm of evidencebased science (EBS) is formally proposed, which is not only based on a methodological cooperation between different disciplines, but also a deeper potential driving force in optimizing the operation process of knowledge. The advantages of EBS helps promote its extension to other disciplines through standardization concepts and systematic methods, through which the common theories and supporting organization of EBS are formed. Under the guideline of EBS, the evidencebased concepts and methods will play a supportive role in scientific development.
