30,000 yuan can be used to publish papers in core journals？ Journals： Only normal process submissions are accepted.

　　According to the three journals mentioned by the paper agency, the publication of manuscripts is a normal process, and there is no "green channel".

　　It is claimed that it can publish papers in the top academic journals in China for 30,000 yuan, and it has internal relations. Such an "intermediary" is actually a medical company, and there is no business related to the publication of papers. An unannounced investigation by Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that on all platforms, the industrial chain of paper writing and forwarding, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false, did not lose its "business opportunity" because it was explicitly prohibited, but existed in a more subtle way. However, the staff of several well-known domestic journals all said that there is no need to rely on relationships or spend money to buy pages to send papers. If someone is fooled, they can call the police immediately.

　　Paper published "green channel"

　　30,000 yuan each can be expedited.

　　"If you are worried about writing, worrying about returning and revising your paper again and again, we can provide guidance for your paper and hurry up ‘ Green channel ’ , so that your writing will be 100% employed … …” A few days ago, the staff of the editorial department of a domestic journal received an advertisement email to send papers, and the other party said that they could help publish papers in well-known academic journals in China.

　　In response to the staff member’s news, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted his staff member "Teacher Li" on the 15th according to the communication method provided by the advertisement, and claimed to be a teacher in a university, and needed to publish a paper on psychology in a core journal.

　　"Miss Li" said that she joined the company a few months ago, but it has been several years since the company published its papers, and it can be arranged to publish papers in cooperative journals as needed. At present, China Journal of Clinical Psychology, Psychological Development and Education, Journal of Psychology, etc., all of which are signed by the company and the author to ensure that they can be hired and published. After the first review of the articles, if there are no major problems, it usually takes one to three months.

　　"The Journal of Psychology will be published normally in the second half of next year, and it will take at least six months for the manuscript to be directly submitted to official website for review. We have channels here and can handle it urgently." "Miss Li" said that her company only charged a small part of the recommendation fee, and most of the other fees were paid to the journal editor. The purpose of this was to ensure that the paper could be published in the designated journal and the designated month.

　　When talking about the specific amount of fees, "Teacher Li" said that the price of publishing a paper is 30,000 yuan. "General agents can’t operate. Our family has this kind of top-down cooperation, 100% package is published, and the formal process is followed. official website can check it." She said that because of the cooperative relationship, journals will reserve some pages for their companies to ensure the publication of the relationship draft.

　　survey

　　Intermediary is a medical company.

　　No business related to paper publishing.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed from the transfer method sent by "Teacher Li" that the account name of the collection account is a unit named "Beijing Hongyi Medical Research Co., Ltd.". The reporter of Beiqing Daily searched for the name of the company in Tianyanchang and found that the company was established on April 19, 2017, and its business scope was displayed as "medical research; Health consultation; Economic and trade consultation; Data processing; Technology extension service; Sales of medical devices and electronic products ",there is no business related to the paper at all.

　　On the 17th, the reporter of Beiqing Daily met with Mr. Li near the Caofang subway station in Chaoyang District. After a woman in her thirties appeared, she once again said that she would definitely be able to send the paper, and said that many people who published the paper could let others pay for it because of their "way".

　　"If you can reimburse us, we can also issue an invoice, so we don’t have to pay for it ourselves." "Miss Li" said that her company is located in a building in Daxing District. The boss and the editors of those periodicals are relatives and friends. As long as there is nothing wrong with the data in the paper, everything else can be revised later. If the paper can’t be published because of its poor level, the company can still refund the money.

　　None of the three journals cooperated with it.

　　Only normal process submissions are accepted.

　　Tens of thousands of dollars can publish papers in well-known academic journals in China. Is it true or not? "Our own publications, what kind of control procedures are known to everyone, it is impossible to publish papers that do not meet the requirements." The journal staff member who received the advertisement email told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that publishing a paper requires multiple procedures such as preliminary review, external review and second review. Even if someone knows the editor, it is impossible to send unqualified papers in the journal.

　　In addition, the reporter of Beiqing Daily checked with China Journal of Clinical Psychology, Psychological Development and Education and Journal of Psychology mentioned by Teacher Li.

　　On the 18th, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted the China Journal of Clinical Psychology, and a staff member on duty said that the editorial department would not cooperate with any social organization to solicit papers and make manuscripts, etc. "We only accept the author’s normal online submission procedures, and do not accept manuscripts and recommended articles, as long as it is said that there is ‘ Green channel ’ And let you pay, don’t believe it. "

　　The staff also introduced that there was a solemn statement on the website of China Journal of Clinical Psychology, informing everyone that someone asked the author to pay the publishing fee and other fees under the guise of opening a branch in Beijing, all of which were similar scams. I hope everyone will not be fooled.

　　A staff member of the Journal of Psychology also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that it is impossible for the Journal of Psychology to cooperate with any institution or individual in the society, and its review process strictly implements the "three-review system". Only manuscripts approved by the editorial department, responsible editorial board, reviewers and editor-in-chief can be published, without exception.

　　A staff member of Psychological Development and Education also said that as a well-known journal in China, the editorial department has been revising and reviewing a paper several times according to the submission procedure, and it usually takes about half a year to complete the review of a paper. There is no such thing as "green channel" at all.

　　As for the cost, the staff of the three journals all said that in order to maintain the operating cost of the editorial department, they would charge the author a publishing fee of no more than 3,000 yuan, and there would be no other fees.

　　On behalf of the papers flooded the major platforms.

　　"Being fooled after paying money" happens frequently.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that businesses related to writing or forwarding papers can be easily found by inputting related words such as "writing papers" and "papers" on platforms such as Weibo, Taobao, QQ and WeChat.

　　In the advertisements of these businesses, words such as "award", "evaluation of professional titles" and "core papers" are often emphasized. A Weibo user nicknamed "Ferry Paper Writing Agency" even wrote in his profile: "Paper Writing Agency, operating in good faith for 5 years, serving more than 4,000 students."

　　Xiao Yang, a master’s graduate, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he posted a Weibo with "topic selection" and "thesis" on July 1st, and then people continued to comment "Do you have any papers to publish?" under this Weibo.

　　As a gray area and even suspected of illegal and criminal behavior, the paper is mixed with a lot of scams and traps. The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that on the major platforms, the industrial chain of papers that are difficult to distinguish between true and false has not lost its "business opportunities" because of explicit prohibition, but exists in a more subtle way. At the same time, the media has repeatedly exposed various cases of being cheated after paying money.

　　Taobao has a shop named "HowNet Journal Center", and the company name in the column of merchant qualification is "tianqiao district Pingwen Daily Store". After the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked, the other party sent a paragraph saying, "Taobao prohibits services such as periodical submission, paper writing, polishing, and revision. If you have any questions, add WeChat." After adding WeChat, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that, similar to the routine of most merchants, the merchant also required to pay the deposit first and then the final payment, indicating that it could be hired in about a week.
