Chapter 321

In China, academic misconduct is more common than political corruption. The use of scientific research funds for daily expenditure is already a kind of hidden rules, and it is not like political corruption. There are few institutions to manage and supervise academic expenditure.

Academician Zou Chenglu once cited an academic personage, saying that this gentleman has published 1500 papers in 30 years, with an average of one per week. He never does anything and has no time to copy papers. It's incredible.

Foreigners will not be more moral. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh conducted a statistical analysis of 21 academic misconduct surveys conducted in the UK from 1986 to 2005. The results showed that one in seven researchers knew that their colleagues had serious violations of academic norms, such as falsifying scientific research results. About 46% of scientists reported that, Some of my colleagues' behaviors in academic research are "questionable", such as "selectively" reporting research data, modifying research conclusions under the pressure of research sponsors, etc.

Japan's beauty researchers are even more famous. The paper that produced fake data and images almost went to the Nobel Prize. It's an example of trying to cheat academic funds, but it's too much.

Of course, in the early 1980s, the management of Chinese academic circles was even more relaxed. It's not long since the Satellite Story of ten thousand catties per mu has passed. In order to "make scientific progress" and save time and research funds, it's also common for researchers to forge scientific results under the pressure of political figures.

However, when the emperor's new clothes were not torn down, they were new clothes. If they were torn down, they would be scandals. This is true of the yield per mu and academic misconduct.

Yang Rui is not sure whether Li Xin will really cheat academically. However, the papers related to light industry are also very difficult. There will be a lot of calculations, a lot of physics and chemistry, which are much more than the tasks of writing winter vacation homework. And it's not polite to say that not every researcher's calculation level is up to standard.

Li Xin was born in his thirties this year, that is, in the 1950s. His primary and secondary schools were basically spent in the revolution. In this case, if he can complete his postgraduate education, it is obvious that he will have to pay several times the efforts of ordinary people, or ten times the resources of ordinary people.

Yang Rui didn't ask for help either. He was looking for Li Xin's paper under the entry of East China Textile Institute.

The library of Peking University is well organized, which took Yang Rui some time, but he still found three papers published in three Chinese journals.

After three years as a graduate student, he has published three papers, which is a very good achievement. No wonder Li Xin wants to continue his academic career.

Yang Rui nodded. Most Postgraduates of later generations start to do research from the second grade. Only those who are more powerful and meet powerful tutors can start from the first grade. Therefore, postgraduates of later generations will publish one or two papers in three years, aiming to get a SCI paper.

80 In fact, the graduate students in the s are later. They often need to make up lessons in the first year of graduate school and take classes in the second year of graduate school. Fortunately, they don't have to find a job. They always have about a year and a half of research time. Three papers are quite good results.

Yang Rui loaned out three periodicals and roughly turned them over first.

80 The evaluation system of domestic journals in the S is very chaotic, but the number of journals is still small, and the overall high-end.

Li Xin's papers are all good, and three of them are experimental papers on amorphous metals. Amorphous metal is actually metallic glass, which was a hot research topic in the 1980s. It's really a good direction to continue to study in the doctoral program.

However, when Yang Rui read the paper, he found some problems.

Two of the three papers use the same data.

In fact, it's easy to understand that some experiments are time-consuming, laborious and expensive, and the success rate is small. It's not easy to do them, and I'm sure I want to make full use of them.

However, there are many ways to make use of it. It is the most proper procedure to study and quote the previous article in depth. On the other hand, once the previous article is quoted, the originality of this paper will be greatly reduced, and there is a high probability of rejection in case of severe or careless reviewers.

For example, muris, the inventor of PCR, published his first PCR paper in nature. Later, his in-depth research redone new experiments, but he was rejected by science because he didn't explain the difference with the paper published in nature. Finally, he had to go to enzymology methods.

In order to reduce the probability of rejection, many paper authors will not quote the previous article of the same experiment.

It's a grey area, not to be seen, but it does exist.

The reviewers have not read every paper and remember that even if they find that they have been rejected, there is not much trouble. The reviewers are not academic police. Even if they have a few words to say, it won't be very good.

Only a few countries have strict academic management, but even so, scholars are so busy with such high-end academic things, and it is very difficult to achieve real strict management.Moreover, many scholars are not afraid of punishment. It's a big deal to resign and work in a private company. In China in the 1980s, an ordinary researcher may not be able to do well in Beijing, but as long as he is willing to leave Beijing, the whole country is full of places to go, and there are still many local enterprises to recruit. Therefore, compared with the weak punishment for academic misconduct, it is more cost-effective to grasp the present situation and quickly improve his professional title and reputation.

Li Xin obviously took a short cut.

He didn't quote his previous paper, so that his paper was more than two articles with one experiment.

After confirming this point, Yang ruicai took out his pen and paper and calculated silently.

After a while, the secret of Li Xin's two papers came out, nothing more than a digital game.

The first paper discusses the success rate, the second paper discusses the failure rate, the first paper makes a function curve, and the second paper uses a table instead.

If you don't look carefully, you will think that he is overusing. If you look carefully, you will actually rewrite a paper.

Of course, it's much simpler than doing an experiment. Maybe we can save money to eat a few good meals.

"If you report it, it's at least an internal scandal." After thinking about it, Yang Rui put away the three periodicals and was ready to lend them out for reading. Naturally, this was another privilege he had in the library.

When Yang Rui picked up the third journal, he suddenly thought: This product has been successful once, how can he write a completely different paper? If the paper is true, how can it not be reused again?

The so-called dog can't be changed. The means Li Xin uses now are relatively new skills. It's hard to learn them. It's a pity to only use them once.

Yang Rui then sat down and reopened the third paper, carefully "tasting".

As a Chinese graduate student, he must have the ability to identify the true and false papers, especially the data and results of papers published in Chinese journals. If he can not use them, he will build his own papers on the sand. And if you prepare your own paper, that's even more so. You can't build sand on sand. It collapses too fast.

Compared with later cost means, Li Xin's means are more traditional and classic.

Yang Rui quickly found a beautiful experimental line from his experimental data.

It's so beautiful that it combines perfectly with the paper.

"It looks like someone has to do this paper over again." Yang Rui thought of Wei zhenxue as soon as he changed his mind.
