Abstract The quantitative assessment of scientific research based on digits and technology reflects the rational academic logic. It instrumentalizes scientific research by setting up a unified, and objective assessment standard that publicizes the rational authority of digits and technology, which refracts the rational academic values of instruments. The quantitative model supported by the rationality of instruments embodies in practice bureaucratization of scientific research assessment logic. According to the administrative mode of planning, reporting, approving, and accepting, the academic assessment is made by filtrating, classifying and layering the projects and achievements with the help of digits and technology. Both rationalization and bureaucratization provide the basis and conditions for scientific research assessment to follow ideological logic. The blocking of assessment technique, the maintenance of professional boundary and the power game between professionals are imbued with the ideological connotation of authority, obedience and rigidity, leading to the horticultural academic management including priori, monitoring, enforcement and rewardpunishment.
