「……而那些數量不算多的論文專著，水平的高低也大體有公論，不必有今天所謂核心期刊、權威期刊來定標準。有人作過統計，陳寅恪1944年發表的9篇論文中，有7篇是發在《嶺南學報》上的。《嶺南學報》不過是今天一較好之大學學報而已，不但與今天《歷史研究》、《中國社會科學》之權威地位比不上，也沒有今天所謂一流大學學報的地位，但陳先生的這7篇論文依然不因發表於該學報而減色。其實，再說一句大不敬的話，《嶺南學報》發表的許多論文至今還很有參考價值，而今天的許多學報又有多少六十年後還需要參考的著述？現在各種考評手段多如牛毛，外加形形色色的評獎制度，多半是以行政管理方法來鑒定學術水平的高低，結果仍然沒有足夠的權威，最終還是要以量化指標來確定大學、科研機構以至個人成績的好壞。……」（周振鶴）
