Types of Academic Misconduct in References Citation

1 Yin Yin

Induction refers to the act of inducing or forcing the author to quote a specific or certain range of documents in the paper for a certain purpose. This behavior is due to the academic evaluation function of references. References are the basis for calculating the impact factors of journals, and the citation times of scientific papers are excellent evaluations of the academic level and paper quality of journals. Therefore, some journals and individuals use citation to improve their influence factors and the influence degree of their works. There are two kinds of inducement: periodical editorial department inducement and reviewer inducement. Citation by periodical editorial department means that if there are no articles published by the contributing journals in the references of manuscripts, some periodical editorial departments will ask or suggest the authors to quote 1-2 articles published by the contributing journals in the references. Although this is not a compulsory measure, in order to publish a paper, the author often meets this requirement against his will.

Second place Yin Yin.

Hidden citation refers to the act of adopting other people's arguments and absorbing other people's research results, but deliberately not listing them as references. Implicit citation is an omission (or implicit citation) behavior in bibliometrics, which is different from other phenomena in that it is intentional.

Quotation No.3

When recording references, it should be limited to the original documents that the author personally consulted and quoted, and no citation is allowed. Therefore, citation refers to the author's behavior of copying some original documents directly from other reference books without consulting them in person. Citation reflects the author's perfunctory attitude towards scientific research and irresponsibility towards literature citation, which is a kind of academic laziness. Referral will bring some bad consequences. Because the author did not refer to the original literature, he had a little knowledge of the corresponding results, which affected the quality of the paper; It may also lead to citation errors and misinformation due to copying mechanically and taking it out of context; It is also possible that the referenced files are wrongly transmitted due to typographical errors and carelessness. It can be seen that citation is a serious academic misconduct and should be condemned and stopped.

No.4 random quotation

Excessive citation refers to the act of deliberately using some documents that have little or no relationship with the theme of the paper as references to decorate the facade.

Reprinted on the fifth

Admiration, also known as "flattery", "strategy" and "decoration", refers to the author's behavior of deliberately quoting or only quoting the information of celebrities or famous journals for certain needs (such as improving the status and academic level of his papers or facilitating publication).

The sixth tone

Quotation refers to the act of quoting or distorting the opinions of others according to the needs of one's own argument. Forging and distorting other people's views not only directly leads to citation errors, but also violates the provisions of the copyright law on "protecting works from distortion and tampering", which is a serious academic misconduct.
