stakeholders of academic research in colleges and universities supervise and inquire about the use of academic resources in colleges and universities and investigate the responsibility for academic misconduct,so as to promote the rational use of academic resources in colleges and universities and form a good institutional arrangement of academic research environment.The academic accountability system in colleges and universities mainly includes six elements,namely,the subject,object,content,cause,procedure and result of accountability.The academic accountability system has three characteristics: first,the unity of legal and moral constraints;Second,the comprehensiveness of the content and the whole process are unified;Thirdly,the punitive and educational nature of the result should be unified.The functions of academic accountability system mainly include communication,supervision,punishment and education.The attribute of quasi-public goods of academic publishing results and the plurality of academic stakeholders in universities fit the perspective of multicentre governance theory.The difficulties of academic accountability in colleges and universities mainly include the lack of initiative in the accountability cause,the transparency in the accountability process,the lack of comprehensiveness in the accountability object,the lack of clarity and insufficiency in the accountability result,and the integration of the accountability basis.From the perspective of polycentric governance theory,the main reasons are that the relevant government departments have shortcomings in the legal construction of academic accountability,universities have insufficient understanding of academic accountability and system construction,social forces lack a sense of responsibility in the supervision of academic accountability,and individuals lack a lofty sense of mission in academic research.In the aspect of improving the strategy of academic accountability

and the principle of unifying punishment and education.Third,on the basis of learning from the experience of the United States and the United Kingdom and from the perspective of polycentric governance theory,the improvement of China’s academic accountability system is mainly carried out from the following four aspects.It mainly includes that the government should strengthen the perfection of laws and regulations related to academic accountability;Colleges and universities should strengthen the improvement of relevant rules and regulations of academic accountability and the construction of accountability culture environment.The social forces should play the function of academic supervision,which mainly means that the news media should strengthen the complete and in-depth report of academic misconduct,strengthen the positive report of scientific and reasonable academic behavior,and guide the whole society to form an atmosphere of respecting academic.Publishing institutions
