20 16, 16 In February, an anonymous report entitled "Plagiarism of Dr. Xu Jian's dissertation of Northeastern University, Poor Achievements of National Natural Science Foundation" was posted on a forum. After the article was published, it was followed by many netizens' hot discussions about Northeastern University and Shenyang University of Technology. At the same time, Professor Jian Xu, who works in the School of Management of Shenyang University of Technology, also faces the revocation of his doctorate and reputation disputes. There are different voices on the internet about whether this matter belongs to plagiarism.
Dr. Xu Jian's thesis "Research on Risk Management Mechanism of Enterprise Dynamic Alliance" quoted the research results of the project "Research on Risk Management Mechanism and Risk Prevention System of Enterprise Dynamic Alliance", which is controversial. 200 1-2006, Xu Jian participated in the research work of the national natural science fund project "Research on risk management mechanism and risk prevention system of enterprise dynamic alliance (70 172042)" hosted by Professor Zhang Qingshan from School of Management, Shenyang University of Technology. During the research of this project, four masters and 1 doctor (Xu Jian) were trained. In March 2006, the research results of this project were published in the monograph Risk Management Mechanism and Risk Prevention System of Enterprise Dynamic Alliance (ISBN: 7-5017-7365-3/F.5922), with Xu Jian as the second author. The master's dissertations of four masters trained by this project have been incorporated into the monograph published in March 2006 as the research results of this project. During his doctoral studies from 2003 to 2008, Xu Jian took some research results as the contents of his doctoral thesis, and conducted follow-up research under the guidance of doctoral supervisors, many of which were compiled into a monograph published in 2006. During my study, * * * published 6 directly related academic papers, monograph 1, and won 2 government science and technology awards (the second winner). Of the six academic papers, two were published before the monograph was published, and four were published after the monograph was published and before the thesis defense. These research contents and some monographs were integrated into Xu Jian's own dissertation.
Whether the above facts constitute "plagiarism" has produced different views in academic circles. According to Articles 9 and 10 of China's Copyright Law, the copyright of a work created jointly by two or more persons is jointly owned by the co-authors, who also enjoy the right of adaptation and assembly according to law. Professor Zhang Qingshan and other project participants believe that Xu Jian's behavior does not constitute plagiarism; Five professors from Shenyang University of Technology and Northeastern University also thought that it did not constitute plagiarism, and jointly published "On the Necessity and Universality of Postgraduates Writing Academic Papers with Part of the Research Results of the Research Group". At the same time, some people think that Dr. Xu Jian's thesis is seriously plagiarized and requires independence.
In recent years, plagiarism incidents have occurred frequently, such as "Yu Yanru case" and "Zhai Tianlin case", which have aroused heated discussion among netizens. Do you need a real name to report plagiarism? How to define the identification standard and treatment method of plagiarism in papers deserves our deep thinking. Right and wrong, netizens can argue freely, but how to draw a clear line between China's academic achievements and plagiarism, and whether it is reasonable and legal for the members of the research group to re-create on the basis of the project achievements should be handed over to the law for trial. I hope this controversial event can make knowledge truly respected, ensure the quality of teaching and make the academic atmosphere serious.
