Netizens reveal the inside story again, and the "plagiarism door" is upgraded.
Liao, an associate professor at Guangdong University of Commerce, was suspected of plagiarizing Chongqing undergraduates' papers and was upgraded on the Internet. Some netizens reported that more than 10 papers published by Liao can be found on China Knowledge Network (a domestic website that collects published papers), and two of them are strikingly similar and published in different academic journals in different periods.
These two papers are: reading Qian Zhongshu's Poem Can Complain, and sharp deconstruction and criticism-reading Poem Can Complain; On the expressive function of synaesthesia and artistic synaesthesia.
After investigation, On the Expressive Function of Synaesthesia was submitted to Journal of Guangdong Normal University of Technology in September 2005, and published in issue 1 in 2006. A similar paper on the expressive function of artistic synaesthesia was submitted to Journal of Shanxi University as early as June 20001and published in February 2002.
Interpretation of Qian Zhongshu's poems can be appealed, which was submitted to Journal of Guizhou Institute of Education in May 2002 and published in the fifth issue of Guizhou Institute of Education in 2002. Sharp deconstruction and criticism-interpretation of poems can be appealed was submitted to Journal of Sun Yat-sen University in March 2004 and published in the fourth issue of Journal of Sun Yat-sen University in 2004.
According to China HowNet, Liao, female, born in 1960, is an associate professor in Guangdong University of Commerce, engaged in writing theory research.
Why are papers with similar views and contents submitted to different journals at different times? The reporter called Associate Professor Liao many times, but the other party refused to answer.
Industry statement
Repeated publication is academic misconduct.
Cai Min, deputy dean of the School of Literature and Journalism of Chongqing Technology and Business University, believes that this kind of behavior belongs to academic misconduct.
Cai speculated that "repeatedly" publishing his own papers may be related to the current assessment methods of college teachers, that is to say, in the face of various indicators assessment, Associate Professor Liao may also be forced.
Cai revealed that the current assessment of teachers in colleges and universities includes teaching and academic research. Teaching is not easy to evaluate, because students' tastes are difficult to coordinate and balance, so college teachers mainly assess academics, including publishing academic papers, monographs and scientific research topics. All of them are related to the titles of college teachers. Especially the publication of papers, some of which must be published in a certain level of publications.
"Among university teachers, plagiarism is still a minority." Cai said that individual teachers really can't test papers and may use their brains to achieve their goals.
online research
Eighty percent of netizens think that associate professors plagiarize.
Yesterday, our papers about Wei Wei, an undergraduate graduate of Chongqing Yangtze Normal University, and Liao, an associate professor of Guangdong Business School, were published on our website. At the same time, Sohu.com reprinted our report in full and conducted an online poll.
The results show that nearly 80% of netizens think that the two papers are very similar and can be regarded as plagiarism, but more than 40% of netizens think it's no big deal. Now plagiarism is normal, and 36% of netizens' attitude towards this matter is "Let it be."
Affirmative theory
The whole paragraph is the same.
After the two papers were published at the same time, most netizens thought that the same part was too serious and the whole paragraph was exactly the same. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is plagiarism, but the plagiarism of the associate professor is too conspicuous. Change the punctuation!
Sympathy theory
All the works in the world are just copies of each other, and there is nothing new.
Surprisingly, netizens don't particularly hate plagiarism. More than 40% netizens think it is normal to "copy many articles in the world". Some people also expressed sympathy for Liao's behavior in the message: "Undergraduate papers are generally not online, and this accident was discovered. Really a little back. "
scold
Plagiarism is harmful and useless.
An anonymous netizen left a message on our website, saying: Imitation is just a learning method, with the purpose of improving the level and making contributions to society. For example, in some industrial fields (such as automobiles, etc. ), imitate technology, study technology, and make something valuable by yourself. However, copying other people's articles as papers to evaluate their professional titles is harmful to society, and such behavior is not as good as "cottage".
Substitution theory
Both of them may copy.
A Sohu netizen in Hefei said: Maybe both of them copied the third person. There are almost no undergraduates who write their papers seriously now. The so-called creative records are fabricated to cope with teaching evaluation and are not necessarily reliable. Don't take them seriously.
