Abstract: As a kind of academic speculation,academic misconduct is a product of power degeneration and alienation in academic activities and also a tension caused by the dislocation of cultural goals and social systems.In this field and space,academic culture has lost its inherent intrinsic value and ethos,and academic rationality can no longer provide sufficient ethical standards of academic responsibility for the academic field as a whole.According to Max Weber's theory of behavioral rationalization theory,academic misconduct is classified according to the standard of "academic research-academic evaluation-academic management",which is conducive to clarifying the academic responsibility of the academicians.Reviewing the governance of academic misconduct in the academic field,there are shortcomings in terms of invalidation of technical means,failure of system implementation and weakness of moral restraint,which fail to ignite the ethical responsibility of the academicians.Based on this,it is necessary to change the train of thought so as to eradicate the chronic illness in institutions of higher learning,taking role-liability-accountability as its axis,cultivating academic people to form a conventional academic ethics contractual spirit which is endogenous to the nature of academics.

Key words: academic misconduct, academic ethical responsibility, governance
