Is it illegal to write a paper on behalf of others (published in a regular journal with a CN number)?
Nowadays, it is popular to publish papers in universities. Postgraduates should publish papers, while undergraduates publish papers for evaluation and research. Publishing papers is becoming more and more important, so a large number of paper agents (intermediary organizations for publishing papers) have emerged. Some agents do not do things after collecting money, which is obviously illegal; And some agents (such as me) can guarantee that the paper can be published after receiving the money (published in a regular publication with CN serial number), but if it can't be published, it will be fully refunded. However, some people think that it is illegal for me to publish papers on my behalf, and I have also consulted the law. It seems that there is no relevant law regulating intermediary organizations at present, and I feel very confused. I wonder if this is true.
