    The Evidence-based Social Science, which is known as the third "scientific" wave of social sciences, is a new interdisciplinary subject that has gradually emerged with the development of Evidence-based Medicine in the late 1990s. It is still in its initial stage of development. Establishing discipline orientation, perfecting definition and concept, as well as constructing the methodology system is of great significance to fill the research gap and to promote the development of the Evidence-based Social Science. This paper introduces the concept and origin of Evidence-based Social Science, presents its development status from the concept using in evidence-based decision-making, evidence-based education, evidence-based law, and evidence-based social work, and explores the application of systematic review method in the fields. Through the analysis of the literatures collected by SCI and SSCI, it is found that the Evidence-based Social Science research and practice develops rapidly in international, and almost all the research fields are closely related to evidence-based practice. In comparison, it is fewer in China, and the research and practice is still in its infancy. For the Evidence-based Social Science, which is interdisciplinary field of multiple developmental significance and scientific value, these have broad development prospects and research space in scientific system construction, methodological theory exploration, high-quality evidence production, and evidence-based practice promotion.

    In recent years, evidence-based policy-making has raised a wave of changes on policy "effectiveness" globally. At the same time, the concepts and frameworks of evidence-based policy-making are being challenged more and more both in theory and practice. Based on the theory of governance and good governance, many scholars have explored the concepts related to "evidence-based governance" to fill the gap between the trend of "evidence-based" thought and the mainstream public management theory. This article illustrates the logic of change from evidence-based policy-making to evidence-based governance from the perspectives of production, evaluation, utilization and the value propositions of evidence, and puts forward three elements of evidence-based management, including evidence, leadership, and public value comparing with the three elements of evidence-based medicine. The article examines the methodological similarities and differences between systematic review research，the main research method in the evidence-based field,  in evidence-based medicine and in the field of public management and presents a systematic review case in public management field in Campbell database， and discusses its methodological implications. The future research questions of evidence-based governance include the construction of middle-level theory, knowledge transformation, methodology, indigenous research and the evidence-based governance under the background of big data and social computing.

    The study of economics is essentially the process of evidence production and evidence dissemination. In recent years, various decision makers, especially policy makers, have acquired, evaluated, transformed, and applied high-quality evidence to make evidence-based policy making  is the focus of economic practice. Based on the evidence-based concept and evidence-based method applied to the logical deduction of economics, this paper constructs the basic paradigm of evidence-based economics from the aspects of basic concepts, research content, practical framework and method application, and analyzes its research status and application prospects. The study concludes that although the application of evidence-based methods in the field of economics has increased year by year, its research steps are still not scientific or normative, and the development of evidence-based economics is still in the exploratory stage; the research of evidence-based economics has a wide range of realistic needs and application prospects. Driven by four-sphere integrated plan of researchers, managers, practitioners and the object of practice, the evidence chain mechanism consisting of best evidence will effectively promote the development of evidence-based economics in scientific research, evidence-based decision-making and practical application.

    The host of library public lecture is the soul of the forum. The quality of the host determines the level and quality of the forum. It is the insufficient recognition of the importance of the host that caused the lack of appropriate understanding of the host of the lecture. The cultural feelings brought by the new media and the improvement of people's aesthetic ability have put forward higher requirements for the forum host. The host of Library Public Lecture  can only adapt to the growing cultural needs of the audience and readers if they have the spirit of dedication, broad cultural literacy, understanding, adaptability, communication skills, organizational planning ability and reading promotion ability. In addition to their own experience, the improvement of comprehensive quality depends on financial support, regulatory guarantees, strengthening supervision system and improving the evaluation criteria for evaluation, and also on innovative training channels and seeking support for social resources.
