So until noon today I was 100% convinced of it that if anyone, but then a professor of scientific integrity and the respect for intellectual property would have to defend the other. This added probably naive world view was destroyed suddenly, when I read the comment of a professor holding the Tübingen University the following:
"A PhD is not a crime novel, though many critics want to blur the distinction It is an independent scientific achievement. and requires a detailed response to the current state of science. This is not normal, if not necessary since, to quote from other sources. Plagiarism occurs only when a relevant foreign contribution is shown as a separate academic performance. Such an objection was not raised until today. Merely quoting passages of text justifies this suspicion did not.sources for used text blocks are then absolutely necessary if a distinction is thus between foreign scientific contributions and his own scientific achievements. In all other cases the source is a common and certainly very desirable courtesy gesture to the author, but no more. The Frankfurter Allgemeine deserves recognition for its outstanding journalism. But it is not a scientific paper. A text block from the Frankfurter Allgemeine may contain a brilliant formulation, but contributes little to the scientific contribution and value to a thesis.

So again for the record: Only when I spend a relevant, scientific, foreign entry as my own academic performance, I commit plagiarism
And in any case, the Quellenagabe a mere polite nod to the author
please?? ?????
quite as long as it is not yet here, as I sat as a little freshman in my first Proseminar "Introduction . To scientific work and learning Quellenagaben and citation style for scientific standard of my Alma Mater (Today I bring it by the way - just in time - in others.) And a rule, we get indoctrinated by the minute: What is not up on your shit, highlight, as such, and adding the exact source so you can check your quote. point. No exceptions and no trade-off between politeness and need or between relevant and less important or scientific and unscientific.
Since I do not have to judge whether the thesis of Mr. zu Guttenberg, a plagiarism case or not, I've saved the detective work. That should do the responsible Commission now thoroughly correct. And certainly it would be a shame if a hitherto quite presentable politicians such faux pas should have allowed.
But the diminutive, you will read in his defense - see above example - are simply intolerable. This is no trivial matter and not a detective story - true, sir - occur in the motifs that somehow turned up somewhere has probably already been, because it nunmal not as many unused species is murder, which could be burned up yet.
A thesis is an independent scientific merit, it is a be new, independent contribution to the relevant scientific discipline. Therefore, the first phase of very much reading and analysis of what is currently the state of research into the issue under discussion. What became of my thoughts and ideas already thought of others and should write, I have noticed after this period, or I have not worked hard enough. Here is the way, even at the "lower academic ordinations" - Diploma or Bachelor's degree - clearly, whether candidate or candidate ever have researched well, whether they have taken the opinion of the specialist luminaries on the subject or the respective experts in the field at all. Sure it can happen then that a thought ever, for example, in a Hungarian Diss happens, although I can not Hungarian, and the article could not perceive why. That's bad luck. And you realize yes, then whether it is homegrown connections or written off. Others who should see that he has intermittently verbal agreement with someone whose book he had never in his hand, then I would still recommend playing with this clairvoyant ability Lotto. Is it worth more.
And what do I do if there is an essential book on the subject only in Swedish? One of my former professors, "Then you hopefully have someone to Swedish and can translate for you. Or learn even Swedish "
Second... All I came up with yourself, but read somewhere have to be Fields marked must be a foreign bond with a locality, or you just have to leave out the was we always drummed into
If you sits and writes or quotes (ie, from depreciating where), then I know it does not help that it is Zitationszeichen and footnote, with at least the short title and the page. it can happen that one a footnote goes through their fingers in which one source is not ready and they had wanted to look up later. But then it is in writing, at least in the footnote, so that does not just happen.
And a word to all Supporters of the He-hat's-yes-just-forget-Theory: For a thesis, there is no maximum processing time, it is ready when it's just. And after the work is, you spend weeks and months with proof-reading (or have) to complete footnotes, bibliography and index create or finish. "Forgetting" is not there. Or did sloppy work, and then certainly not a "Summa" deserves.
So: Either there is no plagiarism, then Guttenberg will hopefully allay the suspicion, or he has copied, he is the PhD going on. Good. This is no trivial matter, and certainly not when it should have been made so clumsily that a simple standard review, as it makes every teacher in domestic work, already brought to light the similarities. Theft of intellectual property is something where I get very severe allergic skin rash.
Maybe because I know a case where someone in an entirely legal manner, and of course very intellectually honest - has destroyed a doctoral project in fact - but in fact ego-centered and cross-eyed only to its publication list. Too bad that's so far been without consequences.
