Like the published papers and advertisements of advertisers mentioned in the article, I don't know how many I will receive and encounter every day. "Thesis" has become a commodity, and publishing papers has become a tight commodity for all practitioners! A "Shanzhai" magazine can also collect "10 million" stepless edition fee, which shows that this commodity industry chain is huge and the charging standard is high!
The formation of this huge industrial chain is mainly due to the greater demand for "writing papers" and "publishing papers".
I am a teacher. Every year-end assessment or professional title evaluation season, colleagues and friends are as busy as grabbing the new mobile phone, and sometimes they even have to queue up at the end of next year! No wonder there is such a big fake magazine scam!
However, "paper" is hot, not fried by a "paper" publisher like us. There are historical reasons for evaluation, as well as many reasons for periodical management.
First, the defects of the professional title evaluation system!
In many industries, publishing papers is a necessary "hard condition" for performance appraisal. And the proportion of extra points in papers is often amazing. If you can publish a few "high-level" papers at the provincial and ministerial levels and at the national level a year, you can get a good job and have a "landing" in the evaluation of professional titles.
In the annual evaluation forms of many units, there are many "second place" and "first place" who have published provincial and national papers!
Such an evaluation system has undoubtedly opened up a "broad market" for "publishing papers"!
Second, the management of magazine articles is chaotic.
The appearance of fake magazines, distribution and recommendation of papers in the article shows the confusion of periodical management in China.
This confusion is not only caused by paper fever. Sometimes the system is not so perfect, but the journal itself can't help but know what consequences this "overheated paper" will bring to itself. !
From publishing a paper to earning a manuscript fee, now it is "pig head can't find a temple"! Our periodical should know what it has experienced.
A few years ago, with the market reform, magazines and periodicals were facing a crisis of survival. Many periodicals are on the verge of bankruptcy because of quality and sales. How long can you live only by "paper fever"
Whether the articles behind such "paper fever" and "page fee" are of quality, have you read them? What is the vitality of a journal that no one reads and does not discuss whether the policy has changed? !
It is indeed difficult to reform the professional title evaluation system, but should the "papers" in the evaluation conditions be reduced? The constant "warming up" of "papers" will not only endanger the normal order of the industry, but also directly affect the healthy development of periodicals.
Some schools even stipulate the number of papers published by all teachers every year, because this number is also needed for the evaluation between schools, and it is also needed for schools to become advanced and advanced at the provincial level!
Can a teacher call a school without paying attention to the teaching process and students?
What's even more amazing is that one of my students is a medical graduate student. Their teacher requires all students to write a certain number of "papers" every month! Also euphemistically called: for students' future career development and professional title evaluation!
What's even more frightening is that they can even do "papers" with mobile phones and computer software tools now!
How much experience and accumulation can a student have, and can he produce a so-called paper? ! ! !
How can the knowledge and ability of graduate students in a technology-based industry be distorted into "manufacturing papers"? !
So take this opportunity to call on the whole society to pay attention to the worrying "competition mechanism" within the industry and pay attention to the evaluation system and system reform of the industry!
