&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; Recently, it is reported on the Internet that Lu, a master's supervisor of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, abandoned his family and son in order to be with Li, a female doctor of Fudan University. However, after he bought a house, a car and even signed and published five SCI articles for Li, he found that Li also interacted with three other doctors at the same time. Lu reported his academic misconduct on the Internet after his attempted suicide. On July 26, the staff of the Publicity Department of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University told Beijing time that the hospital now attaches great importance to this situation and is fully investigating it. Xu Hao, a lawyer at Beijing Jingshi law firm, said that if the Fudan doctor's thesis was written by someone else and belongs to fraud, he can revoke his degree.
SCI hospital: full investigation under way
According to netizens, Lu is a master's supervisor in the Department of Endocrinology and metabolism of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Fudan University, and Li is a 2017 doctoral student of Fudan University. Lu had feelings when he was guiding Li as an instructor, so he 'generously' sent Li five high-score SCI articles, including a paper in the sub Journal of nature, and even Li's master's thesis was written by Lu himself. Unexpectedly, three years later, Lu found that he was only the fourth of Junior Three: while communicating with himself, Li also communicated with three other doctoral students. So Lu couldn't stand the stimulation and took 30 sleeping pills to commit suicide.
Before committing suicide, Lu sent several 'last letters' on the Internet, calling himself Li. He did everything and offended the whole world. Li was given a house, car, jewelry and other items in life, and five SCI articles in work. The result was a sentence 'it's over, don't love'.

On July 26, some netizens revealed that Lu was rescued by the hospital after taking medicine and trying to commit suicide. I intend to report my academic misconduct to burn jade and stone with Li. The netizen also revealed that this behavior would lead to the involvement of Dr. Li's tutor, and finally the endocrine Institute sent Lu to a mental hospital.

Subsequently, some netizens picked up more information about the two: Lu was married, had a wife and children, but divorced for Li. The other three boys Li interacted with at the same time, one was a student of the doctor's dean, the other was a student of the Vice Dean, and a passer-by.
On the above online news, the Beijing time reporter tried to add Li's QQ and wechat for verification, but he never replied, and the phone left in Li's QQ has been turned off.
Subsequently, the Beijing time reporter called the Publicity Department of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The staff said that the hospital now attaches great importance to this situation. At present, it is under full investigation and will deal with it after all the situations are investigated.

What is SCI that makes netizens jealous?
After the event spread on the Internet, it attracted extensive attention from netizens. Many netizens were 'jealous' of Li. Li played with four high-tech molecules at the same time and gained both financial and academic benefits. Compared with Lu's room and car delivery, we are more concerned that he 'sent' five SCI papers to Li. Many netizens have said, 'it's OK to send a room and a car. SCI says it's really good to send a cow', 'five SCI, I'm going to die if I send one, and others have five!'.

The reporter learned that these five SCI, including a nature communications paper; Two are Li as the first author, two as the co first author and one as the fourth Author:
1. Nature communications (impact factor: 11.878 points, Li ranked third and Lu ranked first)
2. Diabetes (influencing factor: 7.199 points, Li's fourth work, Lu's corresponding author)
3. Endorsinology (impact factor: 3.8 points, written by Li yizuo, corresponding author of Lu)
4. Frontiers in environment (impact factor: 3.634 points, jointly made by Li and named by Lu)
5. Endorcrine connections (impact factor: 2.474 points, with Li yizuo and Lu yizuo as nominees)
An important reason why this matter has aroused widespread concern is that it has poked the pain point of many doctoral students and researchers: SCI papers. Especially for doctoral students, it is important to issue SCI papers if they want to graduate smoothly. Although different schools have different requirements for the publication of SCI articles upon doctoral graduation, each school requires at least one SCI article on average, or the article influence factor is greater than 3.0. The cumulative impact factors of Li's five papers have reached 28.985 points. And one of the most eye-catching articles is the one published in the sub Journal of nature.
The reporter interviewed a doctoral student in a university in Beijing. He said that except for the article of the fourth author, any of the five SCI articles is enough for a doctoral student to graduate. If a doctoral student can publish articles in the sub Journal of nature, he can get high bonuses and many honors. Even when looking for a job, he can directly enter ordinary 211 universities and select associate professors.
According to the reporter, there are different talent introduction measures for high-level talents in Colleges and universities and some cities. In the 2019 high-level talent introduction plan of Changshu Institute of technology, it is mentioned that three SCI area I papers are published, of which at least one SCI area I paper is published by our university as the first unit and directly recognized as an associate professor.
In 2019, the measures of Shenzhen Municipality for the identification of high-level overseas talents (peacock program) clearly stipulates that in recent 5 years, the first author (including the author with the same contribution as the first author) or the only corresponding author has published 3 papers in international high-level scientific and technological journals (each professional field of the journal is located in JCR zone I of Journal Citation Report), and can apply for class C talents (1.6 million).

Lawyer: Fudan female doctor, if her thesis is forged or her degree is revoked
For the academic misconduct involved in Li's five SCI articles, the Beijing time reporter consulted Xu Hao, a lawyer of Beijing Jingshi law firm. Xu Hao said that according to the regulations on academic degrees Article 17 stipulates that if a degree conferring unit finds that there are serious violations of the provisions of these regulations, such as fraud and forgery, it may revoke the degree after reconsideration by the degree evaluation committee. If its thesis is written by someone else and belongs to fraud and forgery, it may revoke the degree it has obtained.
"If this Fudan female doctor's thesis is written by others, once verified, her degree may be revoked. In China, there are administrative regulations and school rules to regulate academic fraud. Academic thesis fraud does not constitute a crime in the current criminal law. In judicial practice, only falsely listing expenses and embezzling scientific research funds constitute criminal crimes such as the crime of corruption."
Xu Hao also added that on August 10, 2018, the Ministry of human resources and social security formulated the regulations on the management of professional title evaluation to solicit opinions from the public Clearly implement the one vote veto system for academic fraud: the professional titles obtained by the applicant through fraud, black box operation, abuse of power and other violations of discipline and regulations shall be revoked, recorded in the integrity file and included in the national credit information sharing platform. However, at present, the regulation has not come into force.

For academic fraud, Xu Hao suggested that a set of academic integrity system should be established. For dishonest acts, the name, unit, violation circumstances and disposal decisions of violators should be published and recorded in the integrity file.
"To deal with academic fraud, we must not rely solely on the self-discipline of the scientific community and scientists, but must be backed by sound legal means. Peer supervision is also important. We should improve the compensation mechanism for plagiarism of academic papers and encourage academic fraud," Xu Hao said.
In some developed countries, paper fraud will go to jail
Reporters access to public information found that in various countries, academic fraud is not uncommon. In Europe and the United States and other developed countries, once scholars are found to have academic fraud, they will be punished by the service unit, academic circles, the government and the whole society, and will be punished by the law, and if the circumstances are serious, they will use the criminal law.
