Recently, the Graduate School of Jilin University issued a document "Notice of Jilin University on Strengthening the Management of Academic Achievements for Postgraduates in Public Publication of Papers". The content involved the publication requirements of postgraduates on campus, which attracted the attention of many graduate students.
These include: Postgraduates who publicly publish papers or other academic achievements during their semester must pass the review and approval of the graduate instructor before posting or reporting, and register the key contents such as the name of the result, the person who signed it, and the registration time.
However, the papers or other academic achievements published without the approval of the postgraduate instructor during the academic period of graduate students shall not be used for awards, evaluation, application for various projects and dissertation achievement requirements, etc.
This has also aroused heated discussion among everyone. Do the papers published during graduate study have to be approved by the supervisor?
Let's take a look at the original regulations:

New regulations are hotly discussed
Why can't postgraduates publish papers privately?
In fact, the discussion about whether postgraduates can privately publish papers is an old topic.
According to our normal process, postgraduate papers need to be guided by their supervisors. Sending without permission is definitely inappropriate. In fact, there are quite a lot of postgraduates who post articles without "playing" with their supervisors. There are some reasons.
Student grievances:
If it's not that the instructor is too "pit," who would be willing to publish a paper privately?
Last year, my friend, relying on a private dissertation published by him, finally made up enough for graduation. The instructor was very angry with this method of cutting first and then playing, and it was not very pleasant for two people until graduation.
I asked him why he was so "daring". My friend said that he was also helpless. The instructor had been asking him to do horizontal projects, and he was not allowed to publish papers if he couldn't finish the project. In addition to the results he produced independently last year, his signature became two in the end. Made. The first one is a mentor and student B, and I couldn't say even more. Asking for a second work will basically not help me in the future. In order not to postpone it, I secretly posted an article.
I know that this situation with my friends is not an exception in academic circles. In fact, it is extremely rare for students to publish group research results privately. Once verified, this behavior can basically ruin the student’s academic career; therefore, the actual existence is generally that the student does not notify the supervisor of the paper that he has completed independently. To be delivered under.
And this is because the instructor compiled the A student’s research results into an article, and listed himself or the B student as the first author. This situation is not individual, but common. The reason is that many instructors believe that all the output of the research group is automatically owned by the instructor, and the signature and order are also determined by the instructor alone. This is also the root cause of many students' private publication of theses.
In addition, if the tutor is not allowed to post a thesis and is not allowed to graduate, wouldn’t it be a break if I don’t post it privately? After all, after finishing the matter, you always have to be responsible for yourself.
Instructor wronged:
Who is responsible for the private dissertation?
But in the same way, some tutors were also very wronged. Graduate students sent me papers behind their backs, but academic misconduct was found, so who is this?
Some instructors think that graduate students use my equipment and funds in the research group. As a result, a paper is written without even saying hello. I don’t even have the right to sign it?
There are also some netizens who speculate that the introduction of such a policy by Jilin University this time is probably due to the fact that many academic misconducts have occurred in the environment in which the Ministry of Education has issued documents to strictly examine the papers of graduate students, but the division of responsibility has appeared in the process of accountability. Unclear question. So the school will make this bad decision.
In general, the announcement of the New Deal still caused dissatisfaction among many students.
Most are also afraid of not being able to graduate, being squeezed, etc.
In fact, the solution to the problem of students "privately" posting articles is also very simple, because this is essentially a signature problem.
First of all, make it clear that it is extremely inappropriate for students to do other topics privately without concealing their tutors, such as accepting the company's commission to do outsourcing privately, or using the equipment and funds of this group to do experiments in other groups.
However, this situation should be allowed to exist: Master and doctoral students who have been trained in a qualified laboratory and have completed one or more topics, put forward an innovative point of view, and conduct research in this direction after discussing with their supervisor. If the instructor has not made any substantive guidance, has not written an article, and has not made any amendments in the process, the student should draw up the author's signature instead of automatically having the right to sign, or even the corresponding author's right to sign.
In fact, students bypassing their supervisors to publish papers are basically 100% in order to graduate on time and get their degree certificates, because most of the last essays they submitted to their supervisors cannot be published on time. Therefore, if the instructor can understand the students' mood for graduation on time, and be more active in revising and delivering the article, most students should not take this deceit.
They all know that they have to do something that offends the boss. It must be the result of students weighing the pros and cons: should they offend the tutor but get the degree on time, or should they not offend the tutor but cannot get the degree to find a job on time?
If the tutor can understand the students' mood to graduate on time, and the student can notify the tutor and discuss the appropriate signature order when publishing independent research results, then "privately" publishing of the paper can be completely avoided.
