  Academic lobification refers to a collection of academic performance control
strategies, methods, and means that a student deliberately hides academic
behaviors, or deliberately lowers academic performance, or deliberately delays
academic returns for a certain long-term purpose, but does not produce academic
risks. Understanding academic lobification is essential to our ability to
compensate for inherent deviations in the evaluation of students' academic
performance, discover gifted student, reap benefits and minimize harms. It
outlines a set of questions that are fundamental to this emerging
interdisciplinary research field, including research object, research question,
research scope, research method, and explores the technical, legal and other
constraints on the study of academic lobification.
