Recently, the Chengdu Qingyang District People's Court conducted a trial of a "paper ghostwriting" case.
The person concerned is Xiao Li, a doctoral student at a university, and in order to ensure a smooth graduation, he found a shop on the Internet that provides "thesis revision" services.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the store was responsible for revising Xiao Li's doctoral dissertation at a price of 55,000 yuan, and at the same time arranged for the writer to adjust it according to the revision suggestions.
After many revisions, the writer found that he needed to rewrite almost the entire paper, so Xiao Li paid the writer another 20,000 yuan.
In the end, due to the poor quality of the paper and the failure to be recognized by the supervisor, Xiao Li was unable to participate in the blind review, so Xiao Li requested a refund of all fees.
After the trial, the Qingyang Court held that the contract should be found to be invalid, and both the plaintiff and the defendant were at fault for the invalidity of the contract. The plaintiff's claim for the defendant to refund the full amount of fees was partially supported by 37,500 yuan.
Netizens questioned: Can doctoral dissertations be so casual? Don't start the question? Don't want an interim report? Don't you want a pre-defense? Don't the mentors care? In addition to this student, the tutor also has a responsibility.
It's an open secret now, and there are ghostwritten gunmen everywhere, as long as they are willing to pay.
Nowadays, there are many ghostwriting companies that engage in fraud, and then they can't report it, and in the end they will suffer a dumb loss, and all graduate students in school should be vigilant.
Some netizens also pointed out: The current education and academic qualifications are chaotic
"Scientific research" companies are flooded, charging high fees for scientific researchers to get papers and funds, this kind of naked plagiarism and fraud, but there is no department to supervise, and in the end, the board will only hit the ass of scientific researchers.
Almost every scientific researcher's WeChat has been sold, and there are often various "ghostwriting" to harass. Even if they are not scientific researchers, as long as they have the need to publish papers in their work, they are often harassed. Does no one care?
Editor's reminder: always remember academic integrity, abide by academic ethics, abide by academic norms, and spend more energy and money on improving academic standards and professional ability, rather than obtaining benefits through improper means, otherwise you can't bear the consequences!
