Recently, many colleges and universities proposed to "thoroughly clean up the stock of academic misconduct papers".
According to news from the website of the School of Humanities of Hangzhou Normal University on June 6, the Scientific Research Office of Hangzhou Normal University issued a notice stating that in accordance with the "Notice on Carrying out Self-examination of Academic Misconduct and Clearing Up Pseudo-named Phenomena" by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Science and Technology and the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education Work deployment and requirements, the school is now carrying out self-examination of academic misconduct in papers and cleaning up the phenomenon of name recognition.
The objects of self-inspection and clean-up are: since January 1, 2018, academic papers published by teachers and students of the school with Hangzhou Normal University as the signature unit, especially papers that have been included in the personnel assessment or received scientific research performance awards.
The Research Office of Hangzhou Normal University stated that it is necessary to implement the main responsibilities of each secondary unit, thoroughly clean up the stock of academic misconduct papers, and curb the increase.
On May 23, the website of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of Ningbo University released the "Notice on Carrying out the Self-examination of Academic Misconduct in Papers and Cleaning Up Phenomena of Listing", aiming at the academic misconduct and listing of papers for a period of three months (May-July 2023 ) month) self-examination and cleaning . Since January 1, 2018, the object of investigation and clean-up has been the academic papers published by the teachers and students of the school with Ningbo University as the signature unit, especially the papers that have been included in the personnel assessment or received scientific research performance awards. Check whether there are plagiarism, plagiarism, repeated publication, etc. in the papers within the scope of the key inventory .
At the same time, China West Normal University, Chengdu University of Information Engineering, Zunyi Medical University and other schools also recently proposed in their notices that they should thoroughly clean up the stock of academic misconduct papers and curb the increase. The time frame for self-examination and cleaning is "January 2018 since 1 day".
Previously, many media outlets had spoken out about the phenomenon of papers being named.
According to the "Academic Publishing Standards - Definition of Academic Misconduct in Journals" issued by the National Press and Publication Administration in 2019, "improper authorship" has been officially included in the category of academic misconduct.
However, the phenomenon of papers being named has not stopped. In an extreme case, there were as many as 13 people who signed a paper in a certain university, and some of them were even administrative staff who had nothing to do with the majors involved in the paper.
On June 12, some media commented that:
The authorship of papers, books, patents and other achievements should be signed and sorted according to the contribution to the scientific research results, and those who have no substantial academic contributions should not be "named". The "academic name" is an ugly unspoken rule, which is essentially a kind of academic fraud. It desecrates the dignity of academics, destroys the fair competition mechanism for talents, and seriously damages the atmosphere of scientific research.
