Suspected of paper fraud and scientific research "cloning"

Beijing, January 2, 2014 (Xinhua) according to CCTV, Academician Wang Zhengmin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was recently reported academic plagiarism and scientific research plagiarism by student Wang Yucheng.

It was reported that when Wang Zhengmin applied for academician, Wang Yucheng was his secretary, who witnessed the whole process of Wang Zhengmin submitting his thesis for academician. Wang Yucheng said that at least 57 of the 271 papers on page 6 of Wang Zhengmin's materials in the appendix to the catalogue of the candidates for the Chinese Academy of Sciences were suspected of counterfeiting. One of the methods of falsifying papers is to divide the contents of my monograph into 14 papers and publish them in the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology, otolaryngology. Wang Yucheng said that the second method of Wang Zhengmin's falsification is to submit more than one manuscript. After a paper is published in a domestic journal, it is published in a foreign journal, so it is regarded as two academic papers when calculating academic achievements. The third method of Wang Zhengmin's falsification is to include the non research articles published in the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, including the speeches, expert talks, how I do and other column essays, into the appendix materials of the list of works of the candidates for CO selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. it is reported that in the material Wang Yucheng reported that Wang Zhengmin was elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the basis of illegal academic achievements, the most important accusation is about plagiarism.
