这是我见到过最恐怖的学术欺骗？
喻海良，2014-06-11
作者说的是一个工科的刊物，但我想，在我们这个神奇的国度，人文社科领域也有很多这样的“代理机构”！

今天一大早来到学校，查看的第一份邮件，来自学院群发邮件。说是一个值得查看的学术故事。不看不知道，一看吓一跳。
文章是美国ASCE学会期刊编辑部负责人AngelaCochran写的。这是Angela的介绍“I am the Director of Journals for theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers, publisher of 35 technical journals.Prior to that, I was the Production Director at ASCE overseeing all productionaspects of journals, a monthly member magazine, and book products. I wasManaging Editor of Cancer and Cancer Cytopathology at the American CancerSociety and was Production Manager for Journals at ASCE. I am currently thePresident Elect of the Council of Science Editors. My views on ScholarlyKitchen are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.”
在她的文章中，给出了一个指控，而指控的对象是来自中国“伪学术机构”。说是有人以她们学会期刊的名义接受稿件。她提供了一封邮件的截图：同样的期刊名称、同样的学术期刊ISSN号码，同样的期刊学术主编，然而，伪造的邮箱地址以及主编签名。“Almosteverything about this letter is fake. The ISSN and journal title are real. Theeditor’s name is real; but, the email and his signature are not.”
Angela指出这是一家中国学术机构帮助人们想ASCE学会期刊投稿，并承诺在15-20天内给出是否接收的答复。她认为，根据她的推断，作者应该是向这家学术机构缴纳费用的。“It was in Chinese so I had it translated. The memobasically offered a service to help authors get papers into our Journal of Structural Engineering andanother society’s journal on a related topic. The memo instructed authors tosubmit only original papers in English to a specific email address. Thisservice agency, which claimed to have a very longstanding relationship withASCE, would submit the paper on the author’s behalf and would return a decisionletter within 15-20 days.Additionally, if the paper is accepted, the author will receive a copy of thepaper as it appears in the journal. I can only assume that the author paid upfront for thisservice as I cannot fathom any other motivation. The author, likelyembarrassed by being taken advantage of, is no longer responding to queries onthe matter.”
Angela同时还给出了很多有意思的事情，值得我们所有人注意：一些期刊伪造影响因子，一些期刊提供IV值等等，都属于欺骗作者的做法。
至于整个故事，请大家自己阅读下面链接：

希望国内能够及早整治这种违法“伪学术”机构，让这种丢人丢到国外的现象早日消灭。
