Academic corruption

Argument and criticism helps promote academic development, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:

Recently, Fudan University voluntarily made public three academic corruption cases. We are pleased to hear about it and believe that these academic corruption cases can be prevented if more healthy criticism is encouraged.

For a long time in the academic world of China, conducting closed-door research and shunning arguments is believed to be a virtue of scientific workers. Many of them do not pay enough attention to their peers' research work and do not bother to criticize.
