Jingli Chu explained on three issues as followings:

l "How to treat scientific integrity, academic morality and academic misconduct?"

l "What is the source of academic misconduct?"

l "How should scientific and technological workers follow academic norms and avoid academic misconduct?"

First of all, Jingli Chu defined the concepts and relationships of research integrity, academic ethics, academic misconduct, and academic norms, and he pointed out that research misconduct and improper research are different concepts, which should be clearly defined. He also analyzed the specific issues of split publication and publishing the same content separately in Chinese and English journals.

As for the origin of academic misconduct, Jingli Chu thought that there were both external and internal factors. The external factors include the lack of research integrity environment, the pressure of organization ranking competition, and the unreasonable talent evaluation system. The internal factors include lack of scientific research ability and level, lack of understanding of academic norms, lack of moral constraints and so on.

Jingli Chu pointed out that the current national policies on the construction of academic ethics can be classified as education and guidance, warning and punishment, education and guidance and warning and punishment. In addition, the self-discipline of the author is also very important. He put forward that heteronomy and self-discipline are the unity of resisting academic misconduct, heteronomy is the means, and self-discipline is the foundation.

Jingli Chu stressed that scientific research ability determines how far you can go, while academic ethics determines how long you can go; Only with good academic norms and good academic ethics at the same time, the scientific research is responsible.
