In recent years, the problem of academic fraud has become increasingly serious on university campus-
es, and more and more people voice growing concern over it.
Such a phenomenon has brought many unfavorable consequences. To begin with, there is no doubt that
it has blocked the country's scientific development. Second, the confession of some reputable profe-
ssors that they have plagiarized others' works seriously undermines the public trust in intellectual
integrity. Last but not least, scholars lacking in professional integrity exert a bad influence on
young students, who followed the trend instead of pursuing innnovation.
It is more than necessary that all the relevant departments join in the efforts to fight against th-
is notorious phenomenon. As to the administrations concerned, it is high time for them to take effe-
ctive measures to curb the misconducts and encourage creativity in academic field. Moreover, it is
crucial for the government to oversee the work of researchers. Only when every member of the society
realizes the harm brought by academic dishonesty can we put an end to the abominable practice.
