Academic fraud has always been a hot topic in academic circles. In the past few years, some scholars forged academic papers, which were exposed by the media or the public, and even directly discovered by some new duplicate checking techniques. The academic fraud rate in China remains high. We can also see the measures taken by some universities to deal with this kind of academic misconduct.

To crack down on academic fraud, we must thoroughly clean up the soil that breeds fraud, change the current evaluation orientation that focuses on the number of papers, establish an evaluation system that focuses on the quality of papers, and reverse the academic atmosphere of being eager for success and immediate results. Qiu Chengtong, a famous mathematician in China, believes that the reason why the quality of education and scientific research in Chinese mainland is not high is that some colleges and departments like "10,000 Jin per mu" without considering the mission of education and scientific research.

We should also crack down on academic corruption and get out of the mode of "self-supervision and self-investigation". Up to now, China has not established a national academic anti-counterfeiting institution, and it also lacks effective inspection on the quality and authenticity of government-funded projects. Most fake incidents are handled by the school alone. Some colleges and research institutions are ambiguous and even tolerant. There have been many annual leave incidents in recent years, but none of them are serious. On this issue, the practices of some countries are worth learning. The United States has set up an "Office of Research Integrity" under the Department of Public Affairs and Health Services to investigate the authenticity of government-funded projects. Forgers cannot participate in any government-funded research projects for a certain period of time.

Combating academic fraud also needs legal support. In China, the most severe punishment for academic fraud is dismissal from public office. Compared with the huge fame and fortune gained by fake documents, the risk is very small. In neighboring South Korea, after the forgery incident of Hwang Woo-suk, the "father of cloning", not only Seoul National University revoked the professorship; South Korean prosecutors also investigated Hwang Woo-suk and his research team and found that he fraudulently misappropriated the "government research fund" and filed a lawsuit against him. In contrast, China's laws are obviously lagging behind in cracking down on academic fraud, and it is impossible to investigate the criminal responsibility of academic counterfeiters.
