All industries resist plagiarism, not to mention the frontier scientific research field of society. Plagiarism means standing still for the society, meaning that people who should lead people forward with scientific research funds only want to get ready-made things from others, meaning that the most elite part of this society wants to be lazy and wait for others to produce results and plagiarize themselves. If this nation is such a person, what is its competitiveness and viability? It's just a parasite attached to others
Plagiarism is equivalent to getting something for nothing, which has a bad influence on society. Because you can get something for nothing, you can get rewards from the state, you can get support from the government, and you can get the favor of the college, which means that more people will get the same rewards as these people through their own efforts. Then more people will give up their own innovation and gain fame and fortune by copying other people's things, which is equivalent to encouraging more people to follow this professor. It means that plagiarism will not make people feel desperate and pay a price that they are absolutely unwilling to accept, so there will definitely be people willing to take risks. Is that the whole society is not enterprising.
However, we should also understand that not everyone is suitable for scientific research, but some people enter the scientific research system through their other skills in order to survive. Then, faced with the hard goal of publishing several papers a year set by the college, they will definitely take risks and copy other people's achievements. This is also part of the reason why some associate professors are willing to do such things that others look down upon.
