Three drafts, suspected of academic violations; The content is the same but the author's signature is different, which is controversial.
China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online reporter learned that the author "Chen" graduated from Nankai University in 2000, majoring in statistics and probability, and is now an associate professor at the School of Science of Tianjin Urban Construction University. The second author, Gu Pei, appeared twice and graduated from Nankai University in the 1980s, and has been Chen's teacher ever since.
Chen told reporters that he had interviewed his teacher Gu Pei many times because of his own project, and Gu Pei participated in the article creation, which provided him with some ideas and reference opinions. Gu Pei also admitted that part of the paper had been communicated with Chen, "but I didn't see the full text".
In addition, the reporter noticed that the date of receipt marked by two of the journals showed that in 20651October 22nd, 438+03, 65, 438+00, the Journal of Mathematics Education received the papers of two authors, Chen and Gu Pei. Six days later, the journal of the university where Chen teaches also received this article, but only one person signed it.
In fact, "multiple contributions for one manuscript" has long been regarded as an academic violation by the education department. Official website, Journal of Tianjin Urban Construction University also clearly stated that "please don't submit more than one manuscript", "If the manuscript fails to receive the employment notice after the final review, the author can handle it by himself, and this journal will not reject it".
In April and June, these two identical papers were published in Journal of Mathematics Education and Journal of Tianjin Urban Construction University respectively, and the date of receipt was only 6 days apart. The front page of the paper is marked "The article is a key educational reform project of Tianjin Education Commission on 20 12".
The papers are the same, why are the signatures different? Gu Pei said in an interview that this may be related to his reputation in academic circles. Journal of Mathematics Education is a good magazine, and I often contribute. Editorial departments generally see Gu Pei's name, which may be easier to publish. "Therefore, it is beneficial for him (Chen) to vote for the Journal of Mathematics Education in my name."
Chen claimed that he signed his name on his own initiative, because he quoted Gu Pei's views and the contents of his published articles. He said he didn't know Gu Pei beforehand, and he apologized for that.
In this regard, Associate Professor Wu, who is engaged in copyright research at the School of Media and International Culture of Zhejiang University, told reporters that it is academic irregularities for different authors to publish the same paper in multiple places. At the same time, it is also illegal to put the name of the interviewee (including the author of the cited article) as the second author in the signature without notifying the other party in advance. "This is an infringement of the other party's signature right."
On June 8th, many years after the last publication 1, this paper was submitted to China Construction Education magazine again. 10, the paper was published for the third time, signed by Chen and Gu Pei. To this, Gu Pei also said he didn't know.
At the time of publication, the words "China Construction Education Association 20 13~ Second Prize for Outstanding Educational, Teaching and Scientific Research Achievements" were noted at the end of the paper. Chen said, "Architectural Education in China" is an internal magazine. At the beginning, his article was selected by the Academic Affairs Office of Tianjin Urban Construction University and sent to this magazine for awards. "All the articles in this magazine have been published."
However, the staff of the office of China Architectural Education Association, the organizer of the magazine, have different views. The staff member said that the publication will not take the initiative to receive or publish published papers. At the same time, although there are awards for evaluating scientific research projects, the scope is limited to the association's own projects. "Because our publication has no domestic number, it is useless to evaluate the author's title in our publication."
The same paper is not only a teaching reform topic, but also an award-winning achievement. Wu believes that it is still a multi-submission, and there is academic misconduct in multi-submission. No matter what form the results appear, no manuscript can be submitted for more than one manuscript.
Gu Pei also said that if the article is not reproduced later, "there must be something wrong with more than one manuscript", and said that the paper co-authored by China Construction Education and Chen "can be completely rejected".
In an interview, Chen Ye thought it was inappropriate. He admitted that after the project was completed, he voted again because he was worried that the paper would not be published and the progress would be delayed. "I really didn't have this experience before, and I didn't pay attention to this issue." (Beijing, August 18, Beijing) Intern Yao Fan China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online Reporter Lu.
