How China winds up the counter of scientific publications
A few months ago, a wonderful schedule was published on Habré, according to which China came out on top in the world in the number of scientific workers and on the second place in the world in the number of scientific publications, second only to the USA. It turns out that China is the world leader in science, on a par with the United States? To put it mildly, not everyone agrees with this conclusion.
Recently, AP published a large article about how popular plagiarism is in China's scientific community. They have this phenomenon has become truly widespread. It comes to the fact that the Chinese completely reprint and give out for their scientific work, which they gave to read before publishing some unwary foreign scientist.
Apparently, this is due to the huge money that the state is now investing in science, literally distributing grants to the right and left (this year, spending on science increased by 8% to $ 24 billion).
Russian experts also list several deceptive ways by which the Chinese authorities “wind up” a counter of scientific publications. For example, they invite foreign scientists of Chinese descent to go home for the summer holidays in order to present their publications as Chinese.

“The Chinese are cunning - they did not return anyone, they really pay a lot of money to their scientists, there is a so-called scientists are for one million yuan, but they pay them to ensure that these scientists come one month and two days in the summer period. - says Yuri Amosov, scientific director of the Innovation Institute at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. - Do you understand why for one month and two days? Because then it turns out three months. Month of arrival and month of departure are considered as a whole month. And if it is three months, then according to the citation rules, you can write down any article of this scientist on a joint project with a home university. And there was this article by Dr. Dzhu Shi from Harvard University, and this article will be Dr. Ji Shi from Harvard University and Peking University. And the citation rating at Chinese universities and the number of scientific papers whistled upwards. And I learned about it from the scandal that the Vice President of the Academy of Sciences of China raised. ”
"Scientific fraud, negligence and ethical violations are quite common in China," said Professor Rao Yi, dean of the school of natural sciences at Peking University. - This is a big problem".
