Establish a national undergraduate thesis sampling information platform.
According to the person in charge of the Education Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education has established a national undergraduate thesis sampling information platform, and the provincial education administrative department determines the sampling list by random sampling according to the sampling information platform and the information of bachelor's degree awarding in the region. Sampling papers should cover all undergraduate colleges and universities in the region and all their undergraduate majors.
The sampling inspection of undergraduate graduation thesis focuses on the significance of topic selection, writing arrangement, logical structure, professional ability and academic norms.
Different from the sampling inspection of doctoral dissertations, the sampling inspection of undergraduate dissertations focuses on the basic academic norms and basic academic literacy of undergraduates.
Organize peer expert review by random matching.
The provincial education administrative department shall organize peer experts to comment on the randomly matched sampling papers and put forward their opinions. The sampling inspection of undergraduate graduation thesis is divided into two parts: initial evaluation and re-evaluation. In the initial evaluation stage, each paper will be sent to three peer experts. If more than two (including two) of the comments of the three experts are "unqualified", it will be regarded as "problematic graduation thesis".
Of the three experts, 1 was rated as "unqualified", and two more experts from the same industry will be sent for re-evaluation. In the re-evaluation stage, experts who exceed 1 position (including 1 position) among the two re-evaluation experts will be judged as "unqualified" and regarded as "problematic graduation thesis".
Establish a complaint mechanism for sampling inspection of undergraduate graduation thesis
The sampling results of undergraduate graduation thesis are fed back to relevant universities by the provincial education administrative department, copied to the provincial degree committee, and reported to the Ministry of Education for the record. The sampling results will be disclosed to the public in an appropriate way.
At the same time, the "Measures" require that the Ministry of Education regularly supervise and inspect the sampling inspection of undergraduate graduation thesis of provincial education administrative departments, and incorporate the work into the assessment content of the provincial people's government's performance of educational duties.
Provincial education administrative departments should establish a complaint mechanism for sampling undergraduate graduation thesis, standardize complaint handling procedures, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of relevant universities and students.
Revocation of academic misconduct such as plagiarism.
With regard to the use of the sampling results of undergraduate graduation thesis, the provincial education administrative department should notify the colleges and universities that have appeared "problem graduation thesis" for two consecutive years and have a high proportion or a large number of articles, reduce their enrollment plans, conduct quality interviews, and put forward rectification requirements within a time limit. Colleges and universities should investigate the implementation of personnel training responsibilities of relevant departments, colleges and individuals, and investigate the responsibilities according to relevant regulations.
The "Measures" pointed out that for undergraduate majors with many problems in sampling inspection for three consecutive years, if they still fail to meet the requirements after rectification, they are regarded as unable to guarantee the quality of training, and the provincial education administrative department shall order them to suspend enrollment according to relevant regulations, or the provincial academic degree Committee shall revoke their bachelor's degree authorization points.
In addition, colleges and universities should investigate and verify the graduation thesis suspected of plagiarism, plagiarism, forgery, tampering, buying and selling, ghostwriting and other academic misconduct. For those who have been verified, their degrees shall be revoked according to law, and their degree certificates shall be cancelled; The sampling results will also serve as an important reference for the allocation of educational resources such as undergraduate education and teaching evaluation, first-class undergraduate specialty construction, undergraduate specialty certification, and professional construction funds investment.
