China's Publication Bazaar - Mara Hvistendahl Science 29 November 2013:
Vol. 342 no. 6162 pp. 1035-1039
Science has exposed a thriving academic black market in China
involving shady agencies, corrupt scientists, and compromised
editors—many
of them operating in plain view. The commodity:
papers in journals indexed by Thomson Reuters' Science Citation Index,
Thomson
Reuters' Social Sciences Citation Index, and
Elsevier's Engineering Index.
Research Integrity in China - Wei Yang p. 1019
China's research capacity has grown dramatically in the past decade, an
expansion that is reshaping the landscape of global
scientific investigation. This rapid growth has
not necessarily been accompanied by an equally measured promotion of the
cultural
norms of the scientific enterprise. Most
troubling is a lack of research integrity, which may hinder China's
growth in original
science, damage the reputation of Chinese
academics, and dampen the impact of science developed in China.
