Disciplines that have developed characteristics include: history, culture and cultural industry research, folklore and tourism development research, community construction, labor security, women's issues research, youth and family education research and consulting services, cultural relics protection research, tourism garden landscape design, etc. The formation of these superior disciplines gives the scientific research undertakings of Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences a unique personality and vitality.

Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences actively carries out foreign academic exchange activities, and has successively carried out academic exchanges, academic exchanges and project cooperation with Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Greece, Germany and other countries.

At present, the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences is based on Xi'an's rich historical and cultural resources, closely combining Xi'an's economic and cultural development and its own work reality, and proposes to "strengthen academic research, seek taste from science; be determined to reform, and seek mechanisms" "Vitality; update concepts, seek benefits from the market, make Xi'an humanities and social science resources bigger, stronger, and more active", emancipate the mind, actively innovate, and have the courage to reform, and have made great progress in various tasks. The specific measures are: strengthening academic Research requires quality from science

Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences starts from improving the quality of scientific research results, actively applies for projects funded by social science funds at the national, provincial and municipal levels, and strives to improve the academic quality of scientific research results. In April 2005, in cooperation with Northwest University, we applied for and was approved for the National Social Science Fund project "History of Chinese Customs" (Sui and Tang Dynasties), achieving the first breakthrough in the project approved by the National Social Science Fund in the more than 20 years since the establishment of the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences. , the phased compilation task has been completed. The projects approved by the Shaanxi Provincial Social Science Fund in 2005 are: "Research on the Protection of Historical and Cultural Cities in Shaanxi Province" and "Research on Establishing and Improving Social Security Countermeasures in Shaanxi Province"; the projects approved by the Xi'an Social Science Fund are: "Research on the History of Cultural Relics Protection in Xi'an" ", "Research on building a harmonious Xi'an based on the concept of "four modernizations"", "Research on building Xi'an into a world-famous cultural relics tourism city".

In 2006, Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences continued to strengthen academic theoretical innovation research, improve the realm and standards of research, and determined a "high-quality project" consisting of four goals: First, strive to have theoretical articles selected into the provincial " There will be new breakthroughs in the "Five Ones" and the city's "Seven Ones" high-quality projects, and we will strive to have one result selected into the city's high-quality projects; secondly, we will strive to have newer and more breakthroughs in the establishment of national and provincial social science planning projects, Strive to have a national social science planning fund project and a number of provincial social science planning projects approved; thirdly, we must strive to make academic achievements in national newspapers and authoritative journals such as "Guangming Daily" and "Chinese Social Sciences", and strive to be successful throughout the year. Publish more than eight academic papers in national core journals; fourth, strive to make new breakthroughs in winning provincial and municipal social science awards.

The Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences has hired more than 90 well-known experts and scholars as special researchers from the National Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Zhejiang University, as well as scientific research institutes and colleges and universities in Xi'an area to strengthen cooperation with Their exchanges and cooperation to improve the academic atmosphere and enhance the level of academic research. In addition, the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences specially hired Mr. Li Xueqin, a famous scholar from Tsinghua University, as its honorary president, and invited him to the academy twice to give academic reports.

The Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences takes the topic as a link and extensively unites experts and scholars from Xi'an universities and scientific research institutes to jointly research, develop together, and benefit from the same, taking the "small The joint research approach of "academies, large alliance; small core, large periphery" aims to complement each other's advantages and achieve win-win results. Increase the intensity of external academic exchanges, invite famous experts and scholars at home and abroad to give lectures in the institute, and hold high-level and influential academic seminars. In this way, we can enhance friendships with famous scholars, strengthen connections with institutes and institutions, deepen understanding, broaden our horizons, and enhance our visibility and influence.

Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences has higher requirements in terms of project design, academic level, publication level and social impact of scientific research projects, and it has clarified, stipulated and quantified these requirements in the form of a system. , explore and improve a new indicator system for local social science research management. At the same time, a mentoring system of “one group of one, one group of two” is implemented to train new scientific researchers. That is to say, an associate researcher must train a young scientific researcher, and a researcher or professor must train two young scientific researchers. Special attention is paid to the cultivation of talents through topics and projects, which can not only enable young scientific researchers to grow and mature as quickly as possible, but also promote the integration of academic research resources within the hospital.

Determined to reform and seek vitality from mechanisms

Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences aims at weak links in administration and scientific research management, starting from innovating business mechanisms and strengthening system construction, and actively explores public institutions On the road to restructuring, promote development through restructuring and seek vitality from mechanisms.

For a long time, the Scientific Research Office of the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences and the Xi'an Social Science Fund Planning Office have co-located offices, with overlapping functions, which is not conducive to their respective work.

At the beginning of 2005, Xi'an Social Science Fund Planning Office and Scientific Research Division were established to strengthen their respective functions and enable the Social Science Fund Planning Office to fully play its role in raising the city's social science funds and reporting and reviewing social science planning projects; at the same time, , "liberate" the Scientific Research Department so that it can better devote itself to the scientific research management and service work within the hospital, so as to improve the overall scientific research level.

The heads of the 11 middle-level departments within the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences are subject to open competition in accordance with the principles of fair competition and merit-based recruitment, forming a system of "the capable will be promoted, the mediocre will be demoted, and the mediocre will be given up" within the academy. The competition mechanism enables talents to stand out and create a situation where everyone can make the most of their talents and abilities.

In order to better organize, implement and manage various tasks within the academy, the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences has sorted out and improved the existing rules and regulations to make them more scientific, rational and standardized. For example: a strict system of rewards and punishments for attendance and leave has been formulated; an enterprise management method for social science research has been explored to link the income of scientific researchers with scientific research tasks and scientific research results, and measures to implement rewards and punishments at the end of the year; reform of the evaluation method of scientific research results, starting from 2005, Articles that have not been published publicly or have not been adopted by the government or relevant departments will no longer be calculated as scientific research results.

Based on Xi'an's rich historical and cultural resources, and relying on its expertise and advantages in cultural resource research and development and cultural project creative planning, the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences is oriented to market demand and based on Xi'an's economic and social development. To meet the needs of development, relevant research and creative planning institutions were created.

First of all, without increasing the number of staff, by rationally allocating human resources, the Xi'an Cultural Relics Tourism Resources Development Research Center and the Urban Research Center were newly established on the basis of the original traditional subject research institutions in the hospital. Five departments adapted to social needs, including the Planning and Development Research Institute, the Modern Enterprise Research Institute, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Center, and the Media and Advertising Research Institute, have made the functions of the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences more complete, the mechanism more flexible, and the benefits more obvious.

The second is to establish the Xi'an Tourism Design Institute. Xi'an is a big tourist city. The development of tourism requires an independent R&D institution to carry out overall planning, design, planning and packaging to make it more in line with the tourism market operating mechanism and the development trend of world tourism. However, Xi'an has not had one for a long time. Such an independent research and development institution. Therefore, the Xi'an Academy of Social Sciences proposed to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to establish the Xi'an Tourism Design Institute to assume the important task of integrating, planning, designing, and researching the city's tourism resources. This suggestion was affirmed and supported by the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and the municipal office was instructed to conduct a feasibility study. The Municipal Editorial Office approved the establishment of Xi'an Tourism Design Institute with [2005] No. 85 document as a self-financing and self-supporting institution under the Academy of Social Sciences at the division level. At present, the design institute has initially completed its establishment work, and all business work is being carried out in an orderly manner.
