英国名校作弊翻倍利用“论文作坊”学生越来越多

It comes amid a rise in the use of “essay mills”, where companies offer essay-writing services for a fee. Also known as “contract cheating”, it is particularly difficult to spot since the essays are written by humans rather than machines and often tailored for individual subjects.

其中，利用“论文作坊”的学生越来越多。“论文作坊”是指收费代写论文的公司，这一行为也被称为“合同作弊”。由于论文是由人而非机器代写，且通常会按照要求“量身定做”，这种作弊情况常常很难被发现。

Some universities have seen decline in traditional plagiarism but this now being replaced by contract cheating, figures show.

数据显示，虽然一些大学的传统抄袭现象有所减少，但其实是被这种“合同作弊”所取代。

Despite overall academic misconduct decreasing by 27 percent over five years at Cardiff University, there has been a 73 percent rise in “collusion” offences, where students pay their peers to do their work for them or hire professional services.

在英国卡迪夫大学，5年来整体学术不端行为下降27%，但诸如付费给同学或雇佣专业服务代写作业这种“串通作案”却增加了73%。

Essay mills are illegal in some countries and vice-Chancellors have called for essay mills to be outlawed in the UK, amid fears they are undermining the integrity of degree courses.
