Chapter 393： Academic Ethics Supervisory Committee

The scientific research workers in China are suffering. Compared with foreign scientific research workers, their treatment is quite different. It can really be said that those scientists who have made a good career abroad return to China, which can really be said to be patriotic.

Of course, it is mainly middle and low-level, and there is no shortage of ways to make money for those above full professors.

The impact of the thesis award is good or bad.

The good effect is of course to better motivate the fighting spirit of scientific researchers, and at the same time solve some material problems. Sending a good article can greatly enhance the honor of the school. The school can also give some rewards to those who have issued high-level papers, or the professional title is required. Such bonuses and professional titles can attract a lot of talents.

It also has a bad effect. Because of the high bonus brought by publishing papers, many people will do anything to write papers. For example, the supervisor occupies the corresponding author and the first author of his own postgraduate thesis, and only gives the other party a second author.

There is also the breeding of academic fraud and academic corruption, which is also the reason why Huaxia's academic taste is not high in the world in recent years. One after another, Huaxia's university professors were exposed to academic fraud, and the reputation of the serialized Huaxia was seriously affected.

The principal's idea, Zheng Qiang, was supported by a hundred, but there were still many problems. He looked at Chen Hao with some worry.

"Principal, I support your idea, but there are still many problems to implement."

"Well, I know this, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and our school is now at a critical time for development, so I'll let you in on this meeting today, and there's no problem holding a school leadership meeting." Chen Hao smiled. After speaking, he threw a question back to Zheng Qiang, "On this, Lao Zheng, what problems do you think will be encountered in the implementation?"

He had basically thought about the question, but he was still curious if Zheng Qiang would ask some unexpected questions.

Zheng Qiang knew the seriousness of this matter, his face was straight, and after thinking carefully, he said: "The main reason is to supervise the above. In order to get these bonuses, some professors will deliberately write some water papers that have no practical or application value. Papers are useless at all, and some irrigation journals with high IF scores also need to be paid attention to, as for the last... It's some academic fraud and so on."

Zheng Qiang's remarks are also to the point.

But Chen Hao didn't come unprepared, he smiled and said confidently: "Lao Zheng, what you said is very good, but I'm not unprepared, I decided to set up an "academic ethics supervision" in the school The committee] is mainly responsible for the academic affairs of the school, and academic misconduct must not appear in Guanghua!"

This Academic Supervision Committee will be an important institution of the school. After all, it is necessary to prepare a large amount of funds to reward teachers and students who are handed over to the school. It must not be taken away by some academic villains.

The purpose of this Academic Ethics Supervision Committee is to eradicate the evil spirits of academia.

In the past few years, the paper awards caused a lot of uproar on the Internet. For example, in 2017, Sichuan Agricultural University published a paper by two professors in the "CELL" (Cell) journal. In the end, the school awarded two professors 13.5 million yuan. Yuan.

This incident was quite a big deal at the time. Many netizens got sour when they saw it, and then started to spray, saying things like money laundering and corruption.

Then the 13.5 million yuan is really only 500,000 yuan in bonuses for individuals, and these trolls start ranting without knowing the content.

In addition, publishing a top-level SCI paper is very time-consuming, because many experiments need to be carried out, and it is not an exaggeration to prepare for three or four years to carry out hundreds of experiments. Even for ordinary SCI journals, it takes at least one year to published.

Therefore, everyone who publishes SCI papers should not worry about the issue of rewards. As long as they can publish SCI papers, it is very good, especially for the majority of ordinary graduate students. Besides, the rewards are shared by all authors. It is exclusive to a certain author, so it is very unrealistic to expect to get rich by publishing SCI papers.

The SCI paper itself cannot be reduced to a tool for us to make money, it should be a tool for our study and improvement.

This is Chen Hao's own idea.

"Academic Ethics Supervision Committee?" Zheng Qiang muttered, then nodded, which he still agreed with very much.

"Just the composition of this staff?"

"Cough, I will be the director, and you, Lao Zheng, will be the deputy director. As for the committee members, a few are selected from the school leaders." Chen Hao coughed.

Zheng Qiang didn't even have to think about it, he knew who the committee was with his ass.

For example, Zhu Chen, Chen Chong, Liang Yiqing, Fang Haosen, etc., most of them are returnees scholars, and they are related to the principal and belong to the principal's direct line.

This question does not need to be entangled, but Zheng Qiang thought of another question.

"Principal, how do we determine the selection criteria for this paper award? And is it calculated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences division or the SCI division?"

SCI is divided into four levels, from Q1 to Q4, each level is 25%.

Although the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also at the fourth level, from the first district to the fourth district, the first district is the top 5%, the second district is 6, the third district is 21, and the fourth district is 51.

The former is the standard of all countries in the world, and the latter is formulated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is only a domestic standard.

In fact, both have shortcomings.

For example, the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has always been the top material, comprehensive and basic disciplines. Once a year, the prl that published nearly half of the Nobel Prize in Physics was assigned to the second division, and several academicians of the Physics Department jointly scolded.

Regarding Zheng Qiang's question, Chen Hao shook his head with a smile on his face.

"I choose neither."

"Then... Is it calculated according to the impact factor?" Zheng Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, a black line at one end.

The principal really can't be at peace for a moment!

"It's not Zheng Qiang who knows me!"

Chen Hao said domineeringly: "I think so about this paper award plan. A CNS award is 2 million, a CNS sub-journal, IF (influence factor) above 20, 200,000, below 20 The reward is 100,000."

"Other than that, if the IF is between 1 and 10, one point is 10,000; if the IF is greater than 10, 20,000."

"In order to take care of some IF scores that are not high, but are the top journals in the industry, such as the four major journals of mathematics, an article is 200,000 yuan; the next-level top journal is 100,000 yuan."

The four major journals of mathematics in the world have less number of publications and fewer citations, so the impact factors of these four are all between 2 and 4, and none of them have an IF of over 5.

"Old Zheng, what do you think of this?"

Chen Hao seemed to say that it wasn't his own money, but Zheng Qiang was really dumbfounded.

For a while, I was dumbfounded.

"School, principal, this expenditure is not small!" Zheng Qiang said with some heartache.

Today's young people really don't know how expensive Chai Mi is. According to Chen Hao's plan, as long as you publish an SCI paper with an IF score of more than ten points, you can get a bonus of more than 300,000 yuan!

Even Zheng Qiang, who has always been an administrator, couldn't help but feel a little moved!

"Don't be afraid to spend money. Besides, the speed of spending money may not catch up with the speed of making money." Chen Hao got up and patted Zheng Qiang on the shoulder.

"But there is one point, we need to sort out a list of water journals. These will not participate in the selection, and whoever dares to exploit graduate students and dare to fake academically..."

The smile on Chen Hao's face was still hanging, but his eyes were a little cold.

"Whether it's a Daniel or an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we will all go out! What we Guanghua wants to do is to become a holy place for academic research in China!"
