Will academic fraud go to jail?

This piece is a blank spot in the law, and there is no criminal punishment or administrative punishment for academic counterfeiters. However, in academic fraud, there is a kind of fraud that may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, such as copying other people's academic papers. The infringer shall stop the infringement and make economic compensation for the economic interests involved. Of course, it is not timely to regulate this kind of academic fraud only according to the law, nor can it solve the present situation. It is necessary to combine moral and institutional norms to make moral condemnation, and the system should withdraw the degree or title or stop practicing.

Academic fraud is a very bad behavior and must be severely punished. Moral, institutional and legal means should be used to prevent and punish academic fraud.

In China, the main reasons for academic fraud are unreasonable evaluation system and academic style and moral problems. When evaluating teaching and scientific research achievements, we should not only quantitatively manage performance appraisal, scientific research awards and professional title evaluation based on the number of papers, but also unscientific and unreasonable evaluation system will aggravate the spread of academic psychology of quick success and instant benefit, and make the phenomenon of plagiarism and shoddy work worse and worse.

According to the different manifestations of academic fraud, some experts divide it into three categories. The first category is the behavior of students and teachers seeking quick success and instant benefit caused by improper study style, such as plagiarism of papers, hitchhiking signature, and shoddy compilation of teaching materials; The second category is to use the position and social influence to occupy academic resources, such as monopolizing academic resources and even misappropriating scientific research funds; The third category refers to the legal infringement of intellectual property rights, copyrights and invention patents. For the first behavior, the focus is on standardizing academic ethics. For the second and third behaviors, existing laws and regulations, including laws, administrative regulations and rules, should be implemented to restrain and prevent academic fraud.

To sum up, the influence of academic fraud is very bad. No matter at home or abroad, this kind of behavior will be dealt with seriously once it is discovered, and we will resolutely safeguard the dignity of academics and encourage everyone to do scientific research in a down-to-earth manner.
