导读：知网被查！因垄断被罚8760万元！

在中科院表示因高额年费而暂停使用知网的几周后，也就是今年5月，市场监管总局就对知网涉嫌实施垄断行为开始了立案调查。

In May, the SAMR launched an antitrust investigation into CNKI, weeks after the Chinese Academy of Sciences said it would suspend its use of the database because of its hefty annual fees.

不少网友也对知网高额的定价表达了不满。

Many netizens also expressed their dissatisfaction with CNKI's high pricing.

周一，国家市场监管总局对知网实施垄断行为处以8760万元的罚款。知网在中国境内中文学术文献网络数据库服务市场具有支配地位。

The State Administration for Market Regulation, China's top market regulator, imposed a fine of 87.6 million yuan ($12.58 million) on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the country's largest online academic database, for monopolistic behaviors on Monday.

市场监管总局依法对知网作出行政处罚决定，处以其2021年中国境内销售额17.52亿元5%的罚款。

According to the SAMR, the fine was 5% of CNKI's domestic revenue last year. 

经查，2014年以来，知网滥用其在市场的支配地位实施垄断行为，包括以不公平的高价销售其数据库服务，以及通过签订独家合作协议等方式，限定学术期刊出版单位、高校不得向任何第三方授权使用学术期刊、博硕士学位论文等学术文献数据。

Since 2014, CNKI has abused its dominant position to sell its database services at unfairly high prices. It has also restricted academic journals and universities by signing exclusive cooperation agreements.

国家市监总局表示，知网实施不公平高价、限定交易行为排除、限制了中文学术文献网络数据库服务市场竞争，侵害了用户合法权益，影响了相关市场创新发展和学术交流传播。

Such behaviors have impeded competition within China's academic database service market, infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of users, and affected the innovation and development of related markets and academic exchanges, the market regulator said.
