Since the appearance of the concept of evidence-based medicine in 1992, its advanced conception and scientific method has been widely applied in various social science fields, and several sub-disciplines were formed such as evidence-based management, evidence-based education, and evidence-based social work and so on. However, there has been no studies to review its history and condition until now. The purpose of this study was to introduce the evidence-based social science in terms of its origin, development conditions, challenges and strategies. We hope it can serve as reference for research and policy makings in the fields of social science in China.
