Well-known institutions also academic fraud? British elite Union was concealed from the theft of misappropriation

Britain has always been known for academic rigor, but the local media recently broke the news, by Oxford, Cambridge and other schools of 24 elite schools in the past five years concealed hundreds of academic fraud, plagiarism, theft of allegations.

BBC News and the Times reported on March 28 that from 2011 to 2016, 23 students and students of the 24 Russell University affiliates formed at least 319 of academic misconduct Allegations.

According to the BBC News in accordance with the British "Freedom of Information Act" to obtain the data, of which there are 103 for plagiarism, fraud, misappropriation and misconduct allegations are considered reasonable and need to be investigated; at the same time at least 32 published papers were withdrawn, Including three doctoral thesis.

Of the more than 300 allegations, 173 were rejected and 43 were under investigation.

The report also pointed out that in the past 10 years, the withdrawal of scientific papers increased by ten times, most of which is known as "a major breakthrough in medicine" class of papers. The insiders pointed out that the school only announced a small part of it.

One of the most influential allegations is directed against David Latchman, the head of the University of London at Berbeck. A human genetic research team led by the University of London at the University of London has published a number of so-called findings that are currently being investigated on these studies.

As early as 2015, two other papers on the biochemical process, which Langchmann and others shared, were withdrawn, and six other papers were asked to be amended. Industry peers also questioned the other 50 papers he wrote.

The allegations against Ranchman include forgery of the data, unauthorized use of the data and images of others.

In addition to Ranchi Man, in December last year, the Imperial College in London also published a study published in the journal Science. The paper is mainly about how the immune system to fight cancer, was known as a "breakthrough" of the study.

But the survey found that the study of the lack of records, or even the lack of the original experimental data. After the publication of the survey results, the paper was withdrawn.

A blog called "Retraction Watch" specializes in the recording of the world's withdrawn academic papers. The blog's founder, Ivan Oransky, said the survey showed that 2% of the researchers admitted that they had done something that might be considered academic misconduct.

In his view, due to the pressure of peer competition and the question of funding, some researchers began to speculate, fabricate data or copy the results of others, while the outside world know the academic misconduct is only the tip of the iceberg.

Compared with the media broke the news, the British official published data is much less. According to the British Research Council, there were 33 allegations of academic misconduct from 2012 to 2015, five of which were considered reasonable, 20 were rejected, and eight were under investigation.

In January this year, the British House of Commons Science and Technology Committee began to investigate the integrity of the country's academic research.

However, for the average reader, the biggest problem of academic fraud is not to know should not believe the so-called "latest research".

This can not help but think, often have health intimidation and report that this is not good for you, that you are not good, and then a few days after the emergence of other contradictory claims, this is the reason. As far as I know, the latest argument is that the toast will cause fatal harm to life and physical health.

British "Russell University Union" was established in 1994, by the 24 first-class research university. The universities in the league receive two-thirds of their research funding and sponsorship funding each year.

In the issue of scientific research funding, the 29th officially launched the United Kingdom off Europe will be in addition to colleges and universities outside the research institutions to bring new problems.

The report released this week by the House of Lords Committee of the House of Lords warns that Britain will lose $ 200 million a year to British charities, and medical research charities for cancer, heart disease and diabetes will lose big Pen funds.

The British Heart Foundation pointed out that the funding of the UK was second in all EU countries after the European Union's scientific research and innovation project "Horizon 2020 Program".
