Su Teng-chi, assistant editor-in-chief at the China Times, who is concurrently a lecturer in history at Chinese Culture University, says: "There has been virtually not a single thesis or dissertation written on Republican-era history in the last 20 years which has not cited Biographical Literature in the footnotes."
「近二十年來有關民國史的論文，幾乎沒有一篇文章的註釋未引用『傳記文學』的資料」，中國時報副總編輯、目前也在文化大學史學系任教的蘇墱基說。
