I Am the President of the University

Scientific research workers in China have a hard time. Compared with scientific research workers abroad, the salary is quite different. Those scientists who have prospered abroad can really be said to be patriotic when they return to China.

Of course, it is mainly the middle and lower levels, and there is no shortage of ways to make money for those above full professor level.

The impact of paper awards can be both good and bad.

The good impact is of course to better stimulate the morale of scientific researchers, and it also solves some material problems at the same time. Publishing a good article can greatly enhance the reputation of the school. The school can also give some rewards to those who publish high-level papers, or professional titles. Such bonuses and professional titles can attract many talents.

There are also bad effects, that is, because of the high bonuses brought by publishing papers, many people use any means to write papers. For example, a supervisor occupies the corresponding author and first author of his graduate student paper, and only gives the other party a second author.

There is also the proliferation of academic fraud and academic corruption. This is also the reason why China’s academic taste has not been high in the world in recent years. One after another, Chinese university professors were exposed for academic fraud, and the reputation of China was seriously affected.

Zheng Qiang supported the principal's idea, but there were still many problems. He looked at Chen Hao worriedly.

"Principal, I support your idea, but there are still many problems in its implementation."

"Well, I know this, but after all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and our school is now at a critical time for development, so I will give you a heads-up in this meeting today. There will be no problem in holding another school leadership meeting." Chen Hao laughed. He said something, and then asked Zheng Qiang a question, "In this regard, Lao Zheng, what problems do you think you will encounter if it is implemented?"

He had basically thought about the problem, but he was still curious whether Zheng Qiang would ask some unexpected questions.

Zheng Qiang knew the seriousness of this matter, and with a straight face, he thought about it carefully and said: "It's mainly because of the supervision. In order to get these bonuses, some professors will deliberately write some water papers that have no practical or application value. This This kind of paper is of no use at all, and some fake journals with high IF scores also need attention. As for the last thing... it is some academic fraud and other things."

Zheng Qiang's words also hit the mark.

However, Chen Hao did not come unprepared. He smiled and said confidently: "Old Zheng, what you said is very good, but I am not unprepared either. I decided to set up an [Academic Ethics Supervision] in the school. Committee], is mainly responsible for the academic affairs of the school, and academic misconduct must not occur in Guanghua! "

This Academic Supervisory Committee will be an important institution of the school. After all, a large amount of funds must be prepared to reward teachers and students who have given it to the school. It must not be taken away by some academic villains.

The purpose of this Academic Ethics Supervision Committee is to eliminate academic unhealthy tendencies.

In the past few years, paper awards have caused a lot of uproar on the Internet. For example, in 2017, a paper by two professors from Sichuan Agricultural University was published in the journal CELL. In the end, the school awarded the two professors 13.5 million yuan. Yuan.

This incident was quite a big deal at the time, and many netizens got angry after seeing it, and started to complain about money laundering and corruption.

Then of the 13.5 million yuan, the actual bonus that is implemented to the individual is only 500,000 yuan. These trolls start trolling without knowing the content at all.

In addition, publishing a top SCI paper is very time-consuming because it requires a lot of experiments. It is not an exaggeration to prepare for three or four years and conduct hundreds of experiments. Even for a more ordinary SCI journal, it will take at least a year. published.

Therefore, it is best not to worry about the reward when publishing SCI papers. As long as you can publish SCI papers, it is very good, especially for the majority of ordinary graduate students. Moreover, the reward is shared by all authors. It is exclusive to a certain author, so it is unrealistic to expect to make a fortune from publishing SCI papers.

SCI papers themselves cannot be reduced to a tool for us to make money, they should be a tool for us to learn and improve.

This is what Chen Hao thinks.

"Academic Ethics Supervision Committee?" Zheng Qiang muttered, and then nodded. He still very much agreed with this.

br/\u003e “Is it just the personnel composition?”

"Ahem, I will be the director, and you, Old Zheng, will be the deputy director. As for the committee members, they will be selected from among the school leaders." Chen Hao coughed.

Zheng Qiang didn't even need to think about it. He knew who was on the committee with his butt.

For example, Zhu Chen, Chen Chong, Liang Yiqing, Fang Haosen and others, most of these are returnee scholars and are related to the principal, and they belong to the principal's direct family.

There is no need to worry about this issue, but Zheng Qiang thought of another issue.

"Principal, how do we determine the selection criteria for this paper award? And is it calculated based on the Chinese Academy of Sciences division or the SCI division?"

SCI is divided into four levels, from Q1 to Q4, each level is 25%.

Although the zoning of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also four-level, from zone one to zone four, zone one is the top 5%, zone two is 6% to 20%, zone three is 21% to 50%, and zone four is 51% to 100%.

The former is a standard for countries around the world, while the latter is a domestic standard formulated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences itself.

In fact, both have shortcomings.

For example, the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has always prioritized materials and devalued comprehensive and basic disciplines. One year, PRL, which published nearly half of the Nobel Prize in Physics, was placed in the second division, which was jointly criticized by several academicians in physics.

Regarding Zheng Qiang's question, Chen Hao shook his head with a smile on his face.

"I don't choose either."

"Then...could it be calculated based on the impact factor?" Zheng Qiang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and saw a black line at one end.

The principal really can't have any peace for a moment!

"The person who knows me is none other than Zheng Qiang!"

Chen Hao said domineeringly: "This is what I think about this paper award program. A CNS article will be rewarded 2 million, a CNS sub-journal will be rewarded, and an IF (impact factor) of more than 20 will be rewarded 200,000. The following rewards are 100,000.”

"In addition, if the IF is between 1 and 10, the price is 10,000 per point; if the IF is greater than 10, the price is 20,000 per point."

"In order to take care of some journals with low IF scores but top journals in the industry, such as the four major mathematics journals, one article is 200,000 yuan; the next top journal is 100,000 yuan per article."

Due to the small number of publications and citations of the four major mathematics journals in the world, the impact factors of these four are all between 2-4, and none has an IF of over 5.

"Old Zheng, what do you think of this?"

Chen Hao seemed to say that none of this was his own money, but Zheng Qiang was really dumbfounded.

I was a little stunned for a while.

"School, principal, this expense is not small!" Zheng Qiang said with some sadness.

Today’s young people really don’t know how valuable food and rice are. According to Chen Hao’s plan, as long as you publish an SCI paper with an IF of more than ten points, you can get a bonus of more than 300,000 yuan!

Even Zheng Qiang, who has been working as an administrator, couldn't help but feel a little excited!

"Don't be afraid to spend money. Besides, the speed of spending money may not keep up with the speed of making money." Chen Hao stood up and patted Zheng Qiang on the shoulder.

"But there is one thing. We need to compile a list of water journals. These will not participate in the selection. And if anyone dares to exploit graduate students or commit academic fraud..."

Chen Hao still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little cold.

"Whether they are experts or academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they will all be kicked out! What Guanghua wants to do is to become China's academic and scientific research mecca!"
