First, many universities think that the number of papers is very important. In addition, the development of the Internet makes it easy to obtain other people's papers.
As a result, the people lost confidence in those scholars. For example, a few months ago, a report said that the total number of papers in China ranked second in the world, but too many people did not believe in the quality of these papers.
It's time to do something about this problem. On the one hand, universities should not judge a person only by the number of his/her papers. Quality is more important. On the other hand, we should strengthen moral education to help more people know more clearly that honesty is the traditional virtue of China. All these measures will certainly reduce the number of academic plagiarism.
