The domestic public opinion field has set off a heated discussion about "foreign academicians".
The incident began with a report in Southern Weekly that exposed the true face of the European Academy of Natural Sciences – a Russian-registered company rather than an academic research institution as it is commonly understood.
This discovery is not only shocking, but also triggers a deep reflection on the phenomenon of some scholars in China blindly pursuing foreign honors and even spending money to buy titles.
In the academic world, the honor of an academician symbolizes the pinnacle of academic achievement and status, and is the lifelong goal pursued by countless scholars.
With the acceleration of globalization and the increase of international exchanges, some foreign academic organizations have also begun to enter the field of vision of the Chinese people.
Among these organizations, the European Academy of Natural Sciences has become an ideal place for many people because of its "high-minded" name and "international" background.
As Southern Weekly revealed, this so-called "Academy of Sciences" is really just a commercial company, and the title of "academician" awarded by it has no academic value.
Compared with many real academicians in China, such as Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan, they have won the respect and recognition of their peers at home and abroad with their profound academic skills and outstanding contributions.
Their honor is real and is built on long-term hard work and hard work.
On the other hand, those so-called "foreign academicians" often obtain titles through improper means, and even spend huge sums of money to buy them.
This kind of behavior not only seriously damages the reputation of the academic community, but also raises questions about their academic standards and moral bottom line.
In fact, this phenomenon of spending money to buy titles is not uncommon in the country.
In order to pursue the so-called "internationalization" and "high-end" labels, some scholars do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to join various foreign academic organizations, and even give up domestic research opportunities and academic resources for this purpose.
This kind of behavior not only wastes the country's valuable scientific research resources, but also hinders the healthy development of the domestic academic community.
What is even more serious is that these "foreign academicians" flaunt their titles and honors in China, misleading the public's perception and evaluation of academic achievements, and further aggravating the impetuous and utilitarian atmosphere in the academic circles.
Take the recently exposed post-90s selected doctor as an example, he obtained the so-called "foreign academician" title through inappropriate means, and publicized it in China.
This kind of behavior not only makes people feel angry and disappointed, but also makes people start to reflect on the evaluation system and selection mechanism of the academic community.
Why are some young scholars so keen to pursue foreign honors? Why would they choose to obtain these honors through underhanded means?
The answers to these questions may be found in the current academic evaluation system and selection mechanism.
In the current academic evaluation system, the number of papers, impact factors and other indicators are often regarded as the main criteria to measure the academic level of scholars.
This kind of evaluation method that focuses too much on quantitative indicators has led some scholars to resort to plagiarism and plagiarism in order to pursue papers with high impact factors.
Some foreign academic organizations have also taken advantage of loopholes in this evaluation system to attract domestic scholars by awarding titles and honors.
These titles and honors often become the capital of some scholars to show off their academic achievements and status, further exacerbating the impetuous and utilitarian atmosphere of the academic community.
In the face of this situation, we cannot help but lament and helpless.
It is lamented that some scholars do not hesitate to give up their academic aspirations and moral bottom line in order to pursue the so-called "international" and "high-end" labels;
Unfortunately, this impetuous and utilitarian academic atmosphere has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to fundamentally change it in a short period of time.
This should not stop us from reforming and rectifying the academic world.
We should be vigilant and recognize the nature and value of foreign honors.
For those so-called "foreign academicians" and foreign academic organizations, we should keep a sober mind and a prudent attitude to avoid being deceived by their false appearance.
We should strengthen the construction of academic ethics and academic norms, and establish a sound academic evaluation system and selection mechanism.
When evaluating the academic level of scholars, we should pay attention to their academic contributions and academic quality, rather than just the number of papers and impact factors.
We should also strengthen the supervision and punishment of academic misconduct to safeguard fairness and justice in the academic community.
We should value the importance of dignity, self-confidence and real learning.
As a nation with a long history and splendid culture, we should have enough self-confidence and self-esteem to face international competition and challenges.
At the same time, we should also recognize that true academic achievement and honor are based on long-term hard work and hard work, and not replaced by foreign labels obtained through improper means.
Only when we truly attach importance to dignity, self-confidence, and genuine ability and practical learning can we embark on a development path that conforms to our own characteristics and advantages and win the status and respect we deserve in the international academic community.
In the pursuit of academic honor, we should not lose our way, let alone be driven by vanity.
Real academic achievements need time to precipitate and be recognized by the academic community, rather than momentary hype and show-off.
We need to work together to build a healthy and equitable academic environment from multiple levels.
From the point of view of academic institutions, universities and research institutions should take on more responsibility.
They should strengthen the supervision and guidance of scholars' academic behavior, so as to prevent scholars from ignoring the essence of scholarship because of the pursuit of external honors.
They should also actively promote the importance of academic integrity and academic ethics, so that every scholar understands that true academic honor is based on academic integrity and academic quality.
From the perspective of scholars themselves, they should establish correct academic concepts and values.
They should understand that the pursuit of academic honor is not to show off and satisfy vanity, but to promote academic progress and serve society.
They should focus on academic research and strive to improve their academic standards and contributions, rather than just pursuing external honors and labels.
We also need to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the international academic community.
Through exchanges and cooperation with international scholars, we can understand the latest developments and trends in the international academic community, and at the same time, we can also show the achievements and strength of the mainland academic community.
In the process of exchange and cooperation, we should keep a clear head and a prudent attitude to avoid being used by some unscrupulous foreign academic organizations.
We need to emphasize that true academic honor cannot be measured in monetary terms.
Those foreign honors and labels obtained through improper means, although they can bring some vanity and satisfaction in a short period of time, cannot truly represent the academic level and contribution of scholars.
On the contrary, they only lead to the loss of dignity and trust of academics in the academic world, and even become the target of public criticism.
We should face academic honors and achievements with a more sober and rational attitude.
We should attach importance to dignity, self-confidence and the importance of real learning, strive to improve our academic standards and contributions, and contribute to the development and progress of the academic community.
Only in this way can we truly win the respect and recognition of the academic community, and can we also win the due status and reputation in the international academic community.
