Fang Nu A list of sci-frequency papers claiming to be protected by law

This reporter Le Yuye two years ago, Wuhan University of Information management professor Shenyang inadvertently found a message on the internet sparked his two years of concern: A newly graduated doctor online shop selling papers, each ten thousand or twenty thousand yuan, claiming that within a year sold 8 of the papers were in the SCI index. SCI (Science Citation Index: Scientific Citation Index) is a database of scientific papers created by American scientists. In the late 80, the Chinese mainland was introduced as an evaluation system.　　Today, the SCI paper has become one of the most important standards in the academic level of universities, scientific research institutes and scientific workers, and almost all of them are linked with their master's degree, evaluation title, application funds, awards, promotion and even the selection of academicians. "The General doctor a year to send a good, his output is amazing, more than a year's time to send a few."　　"Shenyang, which has been studying the sale of the paper, is very curious about this" top master ", thinking that this is a very worthwhile research figure in the business chain.　　Open Shop for sale on the internet This is a blog located on a portal site, the owner of the blog named "SCI Paper Shop." Open the homepage, on the right side of the page on the blogger's introduction. In a less clear picture, a big boy with glasses and a T-shirt was right next to his mouth, looking ahead.　　Under the photo, marked with some information, the net name "mwz6566", the location of the self annotated "Huangpu district of Shanghai", and the age of "30 years old" and so on. In the Self-introduction, the blogger bluntly wrote: "Transfer, purchase, write, on behalf of the SCI papers." "And note:" The content involves (but is not limited to): The synthesis of organic ligands and metal complexes, the synthesis and characterization of complexes, the discussion of the physical properties of light, the discussion of the nanometer nature, and the discussion of quantization calculation. The article can be used by people of Chemistry department, Material department and Physics department.　　After these introductions, he left a network of contacts. In one of the posts, he elaborated the purpose of setting up a "paper shop": He had just graduated, before graduating, did a lot of experiments, accumulated some experimental data, originally intended to get new units published, and then used to evaluate the title, application projects. But Yincuoyangcha, he signed up for a pharmaceutical company, do not need to do scientific research, so want to write the data at hand, make the most use, "after the collation of data, a rough estimate can be written around 10 sci articles, recommended to all college teachers, especially urgent and other papers evaluation title teachers."　　"In order to dispel the concerns of buyers, he also emphasized that the data were done by themselves, tested, the authenticity of the data is not a problem, but also to ensure confidentiality, the use of leisure time to do experiments, testing, in addition to their own no one knows the data." The mysterious gunman said that during his time in the Bo, he completed the number of papers reached two digits, all for the English sci, the impact factor plus and nearly 50. And now sell the grade is also basic positioning in English sci, influential factorsIn 1. He also announced his own "very low risk factor" of the paper buying and selling process: After the article is cast, the editor will request the article changes, the article here will be the brief information announcement, waiting for the buyer. Then according to the buyer's information will be the author of the paper information, units and the appreciation of the changes, but also in detail for each other to explain this article's conception, innovation point, discussion part and so on.　　This article has become the buyer's own article.　　He even behaved very "responsible": if the paper provided does not meet the requirements, you can consult him, his data can meet the requirements of the other, "I will tailor a paper for each other." For the price, he said: "Now all colleges and universities to the award of SCI papers are very large, so do not want to sell."　　"On his blog, every numbered article from the creative, keywords to foreign magazines to accept, modify the transfer, the progress of the transaction completed by the blogger posted in time."　　A media interview previously learned that he had sold 8 articles in the SCI index. For the purpose of selling the paper, he said in his blog: "All this is for the money, thanks to the real estate developers ... Writing hard.　　"Claiming to sell papers is protected by law." It is very important that after the media reported the "SCI Paper Shop", this person also wrote a "statement" on the blog, "On the paper shop does not accept the statement of reporters." He claims that this is for his own and the buyer's confidentiality needs, "it can be said that the sale of the paper is a gray market, which I do not deny that into the market will abide by the rules of the game." "He even asked:" There are so many dedicated website you do not interview, why to seize a free blog not to put, it is only because of my Ph.D. ? "Surprisingly, he even said that in the" paper Shop "before the blog to inquire about the relevant laws," there is no relevant law on the sale of papers, according to the presumption of innocence, the law does not prohibit acts do not constitute a crime. " Moreover, according to the copyright law, the author of the thesis has the right to deal with this paper, which means that I do not violate the law or even be protected by law. He claimed that he had a lawyer friend who thought he might be involved in illegal business, "I also consulted the relevant information ... Since the law does not stipulate that papers should not be traded, I do not involve illegal operations.　　Moreover, I am only a person, and is the original author of the manuscript, is not a thesis intermediary, as mentioned above, the copyright law stipulates that I have the right to deal with my own manuscript. But he seems to have a clear understanding of such a widely maligned market: "The grey market will eventually disappear as laws and regulations and relevant evaluation systems evolve." I personally have no intention of writing a thesis as a lifelong career. It's just my second job. The journalist also contacted the person by leaving contact, and obtained some information without revealing the identity of the journalist. He emphasized that the paper was written by himself, "If I could find evidence that my manuscript was copied, I refund. " In order to protect the interests of buyers, he said he would let the buyer through Alipay trading to avoid risk, "(buyers) after buying my link, (i) will send the manuscript to the buyer, if the problem is found, directly ask for a refund, I can not receive the money." For the paper at hand, he said: "Now I have two small revised manuscript, modified within half a month to receive, April or May can be retrieved, the latest June." After revealing the identity of the journalist, the person said he is not convenient to answer the price of the paper, "This is my personal business secrets," and at the same time, he affirmed his "housing slave" identity, "I am a person to do two jobs, but also to write a manuscript, if not be forced helpless, who will work so hard?"　　Writing SCI articles is not a random copy and paste can be made out. He also repeatedly stressed to reporters: "I rely on the ability to eat, not by deception." "Paper sales can't be a gray area." Professor Shenyang believes that "sci paper shop" is a very interesting thing, "is the thesis of the business chain, although absurd but the real case." "Shenyang has published a special study on the sale of papers and illegal academic journals in early 2010."　　Its research data show that there are about 2.48 million papers published in China in 2008 in journals and academic conferences, while China's annual demand for papers is more than 11.8 million people.　　He asserts that the go round of academic journals and papers has led to the proliferation of sales papers and illegal academic journals, including illegal periodicals, which have formed an industry in China, with a scale of 1 billion yuan in 2009.　　In the face of the rapid spread of paper sales and more and more industrialization of the status quo, Shenyang believes that this behavior has broken the bottom line of academic ethics, the state should legislate to control the sale of papers, clearly identified its related legal responsibilities, "the paper can not be a gray area, should strengthen supervision, and effectively maintain academic Shenyang said that from the "SCI paper Shop" Situation, the author seems to be more sincere, do have their own expertise, but in fact, for the vast majority of the papers into the trading channel, are academic waste.　　He used anti-plagiarism software query found that in the 2007 sale of papers, 72% of the article is the full text of plagiarism, 24% of the paper for partial plagiarism, only 4% of the article does not exist plagiarism. "The sale of paper also reflects how absurd and ridiculous the Chinese thesis cult circle is." Shenyang said that the reason why the paper became a buying and selling industry, the mechanism of "only thesis on the Hero" academic evaluation system can not be blamed.
