To evaluate the public credibility of scientific and technological organizations (taking Zhejiang Province China as an example), the evaluation model based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was constructed. Qualified organizations were screened in 4 aspects: organization administration and capacity building, infrastructures, business activities and performance, and social impact. An evaluation indicator system was constructed with 16 evaluation indicators, covering the qualities of information transparency, organization institution, technical service, and evaluation by government and business administration authorities.
