These behaviors are prohibited by the Fund Committee during the letter evaluation stage
The National Natural Science Foundation of China took a heavy blow to crack down on the phenomenon of "greeting" and issued the "National Natural Science Foundation of China Project Evaluation Prohibited Behavior List", prohibiting 24 kinds of violations by scientific researchers, supporting units, evaluation experts and staff of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
The main contents are as follows:
1. Prohibited list of scientific research personnel (7 items)
mainly include:
1. Find information about review experts
2. Lobbying, intercession, bribery and other entrusted behaviors
3. "Waiting"
4. Assisting others or units to implement entrustment behaviors
5. Conduct academic exchanges with experts outside the scope of avoidance from the notification of the project review defense to the end of the meeting
2. Prohibited list of supporting units (5 items)
include:
1. Inquire and collect review expert information
2. Conniving and organizing solicitation
3. Covering up and interfering with investigations
The staff of the supporting unit are prohibited from implementing the behaviors in the scientific research personnel list
3. Prohibited list of review experts (8 items)
1. Disclosure of Confidential Information
2. Vote of affection, accept gifts and bribes
3. Participate in the request
4. From the notification of the project review defense to the end of the meeting, conduct academic exchanges with people outside the scope of avoidance
4. Prohibited list of NSFC staff (4 items)
1. Disclosure of Confidential Information
2. Participate in the request
3. Violation of interest avoidance regulations
4. Other acts prohibited by laws and regulations
The Fund Committee stated: If the applicant is found to have greeting problems, once verified, if the circumstances are particularly serious, the project application qualification will be permanently disqualified .
In these cases, the book will be taken down
1. Some innovations are repeated , especially some opinions clearly point out the documents that may be duplicated with the innovations of the application, this book will not be passed in the review;
2. If the applicant publishes a paper in some dubious journals , and is pointed out by online reviews, it will basically not pass.
Some journals do not review manuscripts strictly, or even do not have decent reviewers. Such applications may be questioned by experts. Because there is no time to read the content of the applicant's thesis, the applicant can only be doubted by the lack of serious doubts about the journal. Individual Category A projects are not funded for similar reasons.
Here I suggest that friends try to choose a consensus journal when submitting a manuscript, and don't be opportunistic and publish in some magazines that seem easy but are actually poisonous.
3. Some innovation points are pointed out to be unfeasible , and a clear opinion is given, and it will not be passed.
We can see some very professional and specific opinions, and some clearly point out that the technical route is not feasible. As long as there are such strong negative opinions, the project may not be funded even if it has a high score.
4. The controversy is relatively large . The negative opinions given by most online reviews are very specific and detailed, and generally will not be passed.
Although some online reviews are also funded and qualified for the conference, if there are many detailed and specific negative opinions in the funded opinions, and most of the negative opinions of the online reviews are concentrated and specific, such projects may not be funded.
5. Part of the content is missing , such as technical route, feasibility analysis, etc. The missing situation is serious.
Many fund applicants have a good foundation and the topic is relatively popular, but the application letter is not rigorous enough and lacks the necessary parts. Especially in most cases, the technical route is not detailed and the feasibility demonstration is not solid. It can be regarded as a flaw in the application form. If this happens, the probability of not getting funding is high.
