In the framework of evidence-based decision-making, this paper makes a theoretical analysis on the evaluation and appointment of university teachers' professional titles by using the evidence-based method. According to the general characteristics of evidence-based decision-making, combined with the reform of independent evaluation and appointment of university teachers' professional titles in China, and drawing on the "five steps" of evidence-based medicine, the practical process of independent evaluation and appointment of teachers' professional titles in Colleges and universities is formed, which is conducive to more rational evaluation and appointment of teachers' titles in the universities.
