The official website of the Ministry of Education issued the Notice of the Sampling Method for Undergraduate Graduation Thesis (Design) (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). The "Measures" clarify that the sampling of undergraduate graduation thesis is conducted once a year, and the sampling object is the thesis awarded the bachelor's degree in the previous academic year. In principle, the sampling ratio should be no less than 2%.

For graduation thesis suspected of academic misconduct such as plagiarism, forgery, tampering, buying and selling, ghostwriting, etc., after investigation and verification, colleges and universities will revoke the awarded degree and cancel the degree certificate according to law.

In addition to having an impact on individuals, 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 investment in specialty construction funds.

For universities that have "graduation thesis problems" for two consecutive years, and the proportion is high or the number of theses is large, the provincial education administrative department shall notify them in the whole province, reduce the enrollment plan, conduct quality interviews, and put forward requirements for rectification within a time limit; For undergraduate majors with many sampling problems for three consecutive years, if they still fail to meet the requirements after rectification, it is deemed that the training quality cannot be guaranteed. The provincial education administrative department shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions, order it to suspend enrollment, or the provincial academic degree committee shall revoke its bachelor's degree authorization point.

How to determine "dissertation with questions"? The person in charge of the Education Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Education introduced that 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, and graduation papers with two or more experts' comments as "unqualified" will be regarded as "problematic graduation papers". 1 person is judged as "unqualified", and it shall be sent to two experts in the same field for re-evaluation. In the re-evaluation stage, two re-evaluation experts 1 and above are deemed as "unqualified" and will be regarded as "problematic graduation thesis".

"In recent years, the overall requirements for graduation thesis have become more and more strict. Sampling involves the enrollment plan and teaching evaluation of colleges and universities, which has a strong deterrent effect on students and schools, and will undoubtedly further improve the requirements of colleges and universities for undergraduate graduation thesis. " A teacher from a university in Beijing told beijing business today Today.

The person in charge of the Education Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Education said: "Unlike the sampling inspection of doctoral dissertations, the sampling inspection of undergraduate dissertations focuses on the basic academic norms and basic academic literacy of undergraduates."

The reporter learned that from 20 14, China began to conduct sampling inspection on doctoral and master's degree theses. The sampling rate of doctoral dissertations is about 10%, and that of master dissertations is about 5%.

In recent years, due to the frequent falsification of academic papers, the relevant verification work has been further tightened. In August, 2020, the Ministry of Education asked all colleges and universities to take immediate action to conduct a comprehensive review and verification of the papers awarded doctoral and master's degrees in the past five years. In the Opinions on Accelerating the Reform and Development of Postgraduate Education in the New Era published in September, it was clearly put forward that the falsification of dissertations should be taken as a credit record and included in the national credit information sharing platform.

From June 5438 to June 2020 10, the Central Committee and the State Council issued the Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of Education Evaluation in the New Era, which clearly required strict study.
