How to detect academic misconduct
1.Peer review: besides reviewers or editors who will scrutinize the paper, other researchers, experts and scholars will also review the quality and reliability of the paper, find out the problems and doubts in it, and question or point out the possibility of misbehavior.
2. Complaints and reports: In the academic world, other scholars or researchers may find out someone's academic misconduct, and they can complain and report it to academic institutions, journals, conferences, etc. through emails, telephone calls, anonymous letters, and so on.
3. Dissertation review: When the title is evaluated, the previously published dissertation will be carefully reviewed. If the previous dissertation is not of high quality and the reader does not pay attention to it without discovering the problems in it, it is very likely that misconduct in it will be discovered when the title is reviewed.
4. Weight checking software: weight checking software can compare the similarity between the dissertation and published literature and research results, and give similarity scores or reports to help discover plagiarism, self-plagiarism and improper citation in the dissertation, and assist in determining whether there is academic misconduct.
5. Data analysis and research reproduction: Other researchers can assess whether the data in the papers are true and reliable by conducting data analysis and research reproduction of the published papers. If there are problems such as falsification of data, these processes of analysis and reproduction may reveal them.
6. Self-examination and self-review: Some unintentional academic misconduct can be detected by authors conducting self-examination and self-review. They can use weight-checking software to test the originality of the paper and its similarity with other literature, or check the authenticity and accuracy of data, literature citations, experimental records, etc. on their own, to make sure that their researches and papers are in line with the academic norms and ethical guidelines.

Disposition of Academic Misconduct

Once discovered, papers suspected of plagiarism will not be published and will be posted on the homepage of the corresponding conference, and the qualifications of the first and corresponding authors for submitting manuscripts in the Association will be canceled, as well as the academic awards or honorary titles obtained in the Association will be revoked.

We call on
1. the Chinese research community to reach a consensus on a code of academic integrity that defines misconduct and provides for sanctions.
2. an integrity system should be established in scientific research organizations, and the details of the system should be gradually implemented and improved.
3. schools and society should strengthen education and publicity for students, so that they can realize the harm and seriousness of academic fraud and cultivate their sense of integrity and responsibility.
4. Schools and society should establish a strict monitoring mechanism to supervise and manage the research process and research results of researchers. For any academic fraud found, timely measures should be taken to correct and punish it, so as to maintain the reputation and credibility of the academic community.
5. Scholars should consciously abide by academic norms and ethics. Academic misconduct will affect not only one's own reputation and future, but also the reputation and future of the whole academic community. Everyone should consciously abide by academic norms and ethics and refrain from plagiarism, tampering with data, and so on. At the same time, one should actively report academic misconduct to maintain the credibility of academic research and the innovation of academic research.
