Xinhua news agency, beijing, june 12th, "my paper was stolen" -- a graduation paper to check the risks behind the service
Reporter, china net, xinhua
The hard-earned academic thesis was first published, even though it was self-imposed。
With the arrival of the college graduation season, a number of graduates have already begun preparing for graduation, and the submission of a qualified academic thesis is the first priority for many students before graduation. In order to reduce the “repeat rate” of their papers and ensure their successful graduation, the various channels through which “dissertation examination” is conducted have become essential for most graduates before the presentation of their papers. However, your paper could have been stolen。
I copied my paper
In recent days, yang, a second-year graduate student at a university in guangxi, has sought to re-modify and refine his undergraduate thesis as a post-graduate degree paper. When yang's revised and refined papers were reviewed in the database, it became clear that, regardless of his own modifications, the core parts of the papers were shown as copying, all of which pointed to a published paper。
After a search of the web by the suspicious yang, it was found that it had been published in september 2016 in law and society, and the author of the article appeared to be certain。
Young told journalists that the article was more than 90 per cent similar to the undergraduate thesis he had submitted and adopted in june 2016 on the improvement of our pre-civil court meeting system。
By comparison, journalists found that yang's undergraduate thesis, " on the improvement of our pre-council meeting system " , contained more than 12,000 words, while the one published on " law and society " contained more than 3,000 words, all of which corresponded to the content of yang's undergraduate thesis。
As a result of the fact that some of the papers were first published, yang was currently unable to publish his revised and refined paper。
In his dealings with one another, a paper expressly acknowledging his signature was purchased on the web in 2016 for the purpose of evaluating his title. Following a number of exchanges between yang and yao, the original expression of respect for yang has been sent a letter to the editorial department of law and society requesting withdrawal。
As of the time of writing, it was still available on the internet to search for a paper that had been signed, and the impact on yang had not been completely eliminated by copying it and publishing it first。
"how did i lose my paper?"
How could someone steal a graduation paper that he had studied so hard? Yang believed that the stolen paper should have taken place during the examination of the paper。
Young indicated that, prior to graduating from undergraduate studies, he had purchased two dissertation examination services through the treasure network and that sellers had indicated that their databases used to compare the repetition rates were “samereport” and “paperpass” and that the fee for each examination was less than $20。
Journalists found that in a number of university forums and news stories, the dissertations were stolen or others first published cases that affected their graduation. And most of the results of the final survey pointed to the institutions where the papers appeared on the market。
At present, the vast majority of higher education institutions in the country are at risk of being unable to graduate if the reference rates for graduate dissertations exceed the school requirements. As a result, in order to ensure their successful graduation, a number of students will review their papers through the publicly available paper review platform before submitting their papers。
Currently, the more well-known and well-utilized surveying system is provided mainly by china's knowledge-based database platforms, such as the china knowledge network, china, china and the world wide web。
For example, journalists are searching for keywords such as “scrutinizing” and there are a large number of vendors with different types of heavy platform in their research service. The heavy databases used by various businesses vary from several dozen to hundreds of dollars。
Journalists have found, in a number of cases, that sellers are often required to post copies of the papers on links to third-party websites provided by sellers, who wait for a certain amount of time before downloading an electronic review report. It is not known whether the paper data uploaded by the buyer was promptly removed or properly kept by the seller。
Another phenomenon that deserves attention is the fact that a number of providers of paper examination services are also providing paper-writing services. The seller claims to be able to provide a substitute for the dissertation, while at the same time ensuring that the original and repetition rates meet the school requirements。
According to a vendor who used to serve on the network as a dissertation proxy, many of them tend to prefer undergraduate dissertation because of the difficulty, volume and variety of undergraduate dissertations. The vendor indicated that since undergraduate dissertations were often kept as information by institutions such as universities, were not available on the internet and were generally not recorded in various databases, this provided an opportunity for some businesses to steal undergraduate dissertations and sell them。
Expert: increased awareness of intellectual property protection
A number of legal experts indicated that the paper examination system had been established to prevent academic misconduct and was not an obligatory procedure for the creation of individual papers, and that students in higher education needed to raise awareness of the protection of intellectual property when using the paper to check services。
“we only provide a `public-to-public' review service for scientific institutions or institutions, such as magazines, journal editorial departments or higher education institutions, which students who need to do so can operate only through schools.” according to sun hung yong, the head of the scientific research and integrity products of china's sichuan network, “all the papers on the electric power company's platform, under the banner of the chinese sichuan network, are illegal and fraudulent
According to sun yoon yong, china sensei has set up a separate database for the examination of undergraduate thesis data, which is used only by universities through fragmentation and is not open to other subjects of society, thus avoiding the possibility of leaking the dissipation of the dissertation data before publication。
Liu ling, vice-president of the intellectual property division of the ishikiyama people's court in beijing, stated that the paper submitted for examination could be considered as a “half-finished product” by the author of the paper, and that if the part of the examination was able to express the author's thoughts in some form or another whole, it could be considered as part of the finished work。
The university of economics and trade law school of the capital city university, professor gau guilin, believes that authorship is available from the moment the university graduate thesis is completed. When the final paper is submitted to the jac, it may be considered public。
Liu ling believes that the right to publish the paper constituting the work is a personal right in copyright law, and that it is for the author to decide when and where to publish it publicly. The examination of the paper is the stage at which the author's modification of the work during the process of creation cannot be regarded as an exercise of the author's right to publish, and the unauthorized use of unpublished material without the author's consent, involving infringement of the author's right to publish, entails legal liability for cessation of the violation and elimination of the effects。
Gao guilin recommended that university students take care to protect their intellectual property rights over the results of scientific research, preserve evidence in a timely manner, raise awareness of confidentiality, and carefully use various papers to check services.
