Thesis fraud in credit record

论文作假纳入信用记录

Postgraduate students who commit fraud in their graduation dissertations or theses will be recorded in the national social credit system, a new guideline said on Tuesday. The guideline, jointly issued by the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance, asked universities and research institutes to intensify their efforts to crack down on academic misconduct.

9月22日，教育部、国家发改委以及财政部联合发布意见，要求高校及研究机构加大对学术不端行为的打击力度，并提出，研究生学位论文作假行为将被纳入全国信用信息共享平台。

Academic integrity should be an important part of postgraduate education and training for supervisors, and dissertation writing guidance should be compulsory for all students, the guideline said.

意见提出，将学术诚信作为导师培训和研究生培养的重要内容，把论文写作指导课程作为必修课。

Education authorities should increase the percentage of students going through random dissertation inspection, and should revoke the accreditation of disciplines that fail to ensure the quality of such works, it said.

扩大学位论文抽检比例，对无法保证质量的学科或专业学位类别，撤销学位授权。

It also asked universities and research institutes to impose stricter evaluation standards for supervisors, including their work ethic, academic performance and efforts in supervising students.

高校和研究机构要严格导师选聘标准，将师德师风、学术水平、指导精力投入等纳入导师评价考核体系。
