Body Style Change For Tahoe?

Causa Guttenberg third Guttenplag may not be the solution.

In a writing workshop for domestic work, which the Leuphana has offered for the first semester, a student said: "Yes, but I may so express no personal opinion, I must cite everything."
Here you can see how a student the principle of scientific work has fundamentally misunderstood.
Students should of course express their own opinion. But not as diffuse gut feeling, but well informed about the existing discourse, and well-founded to show, taking into account already raised Argumente.Um, to know the discourse, he was cited. To the few readers in the discourse arrested (and these are all in the case of a PhD student to make comprehensible outside it, including supervisors!) the discourse of history, is given to illustrate this point. Man builds a cross-reference in a web of. And of course they are also assessed, based on the known facts. That's science.


Here you can also see how m. E. misunderstood the action Guttenplag something fundamentally has . To listen to the discourse, we must quote him. That this partly comes to formulations that are better than one's own is not sufficient. But actually it is not absolutely necessary to invent something "new." Or shall we say this: "new" is just sometimes the compilation of known facts and arguments in an unusual context, or under a new question, or with a new assessment with the participation of previously unrecognized component X. It's not about the creation of something out of nothing. Sometimes it's been a promotion worthy of scientific achievement to put together at all different fragments of conversation into a discourse.
Guttenplag shows clearly and clear that Mr. Guttenberg more " quotes Patchwork " has operated as if for an independent scientific work in order. It is no doubt, not even the author. It is good that he has seen this error and finally conceded. It is quite true that he then returned to the doctorate. Who works so poorly, does not deserve the title. It is also true that the affair is not finished with it.


way, I suspect that these small-scale defects associated with the current training practices of law schools, but that would be only one explanation, no apology. ( The fact that the said craft deficiencies the auditors have not noticed, however, is an indication that in this field, the focus is not on the teaching and appreciation Basic skills content. But this is speculation .)

Guttenplag throws Guttenberg but also from to have operated an even criminal form of plagiarism, in

The writer properly cites all sources, paraphrasing and using quotations appropriately. The catch? The manuscript contains almost no original work! It is sometimes difficult to spot this form of plagiarism because it looks like any other well-researched document.
This accusation can only judge of the audit committee or a panel of seasoned professionals. Prof. Fischer-Lescano, who kicked off the affair, one of them. A horde of anonymous bloggers who have gathered for the happy hunting nicht.Viele Minister, but the display of such bodies are in fact probably not plagiarism. ?
And a minister hunt it, unfortunately: that the name "Guttenplag" shows - why not "Ministerplag" Would not it be nice if now all doctorates people representatives - and if we're at it: all doctoral business leaders / would be examined through the much-swarm intelligence - inside in decision-making. Does not work? Not interested?
Exactly.
drum.
pity.

Atlanta Horse Jump Makers

Causa Guttenberg second Scientific misconduct is often put in the system. The

I naturally talk.
As for the handling of footnotes and source documents, we have scholars - often reviled as much - the natural sciences and disciplines such as economics, law or engineering well ahead. As I was able to publish

then my master's thesis in a reputable journal, I told them to brag to a friend. The friend, a biologist, said:
"How - under your own name?"
Clash of cultures in which case: professional cultures. Apparently, it was explained to me, were separate publications for biologists before a promotion would not be possible. It worked for Diss in a Research group. The research group is headed by a post-doc or Prof. Since this obviously gives instructions, what you have to explore (who else?), May not research input so by the graduate student, ergo his name is not on the paper, when, then a maximum as a co-author. (On the widely used system of honorary authorship I would not talk at all ...) So I was
the then explained.
For me it smelled - apparently common - practice for plagiarism.
may perhaps, young scientists in the humanities, but in fact much more independent much earlier?
Or perhaps our entire study (my experience and background is of course the old master's degree) from the beginning to create an independent research?

We must in fact write during their studies homework. Leave the house and get to work is that, from the first semester.
who crammed all his studies, however only exam is knowledge, not research-based work and research-based publishing really prepared. Accordingly, then major problems arise in the final examinations, which consist almost everywhere from such self-researched work: Diploma Thesis, Bachelor - is everywhere suddenly all this provided was so or not an engineer or BWLer while studying hard has practiced.

the auditors remain two possibilities:

a) they lower the standards of compliance with general Zitiergewohnheiten - most engineers and lawyers go BWLer indeed not in the research do not work academically

b) they change their audit procedures such that even in these mass courses students basic knowledge of scientific work can be taught, that is to be replaced at least some of the standardized exams through intensive homework correction.

c) changing the final exam, so that (on Bachelor level) exams are written - and the students practiced in the form of examination to be examined.

My suspicion is that a) was more common.


My concern is, unfortunately, that teachers who have learned at university is not even true (even among engineers, an origin from the "practice" even considered a seal of approval) to convey can not ordinary Quote .
This concern is also the way my experience with humanities teachers of all possible field of study who have internalized the basics so that they can not remember how difficult it was.
This is indeed difficult. And
exhausting.
needs and time that could be more exciting, substantive, technical use discussions.

But what use is climbing technical peaks, when the seminar participants did not all understand why they have the Sherpas of recognized authorities there, and how they use the ropes and carabiners scientific citation? Of course you can go without them on the summit of knowledge. But is rare. And dangerous. And you can crash.

Cubefield College University

Causa Guttenberg. Some general statements about academic ethics.

Who reads this blog for some time know, for all the anonymity that the author, on the one some time working on her doctorate and is working on the other to a small university. The hype around Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg's possibly plagiarized dissertation and all the implications arising from this interests me, therefore, both personally and professionally. This applies to all different aspects of the debate:
- specifically: to Guttenberg's right to an academic title (and from this for his (political) credibility)
- something generally, conclusions about the academic culture in Germany, and how they on matters acts of academic ethics

How clear and unambiguous case of Guttenberg's really that I would like to say anything at this point is not (yet). First of all I would like more detail information on specific allegations. I would first like some of the wiki Guttenplag (http://de.guttenplag.wikia.com) found places to read before I have something to say or write. Because the site is very extensive, do I need a little more time and leisure. The assessment of the allegations is already at the University of Bayreuth, which awarded the title. If they have to admit the charges, would fall to them as well, or carers and assessors in a bad light. The task of the title by Mr. Guttenberg the matter is by no means settled. The case finally throws a spotlight on the German scientific practice. We academics we must now ask all the question (and please leave the question), such as expiry of the current practice in the awarding of doctoral degrees. And here it is already one of the problems:

but actually there are not really a common practice.

so easy, how me represents the time held a public debate, the matter is in fact not exist. Even the pure facts of what constitutes plagiarism is quite controversial. Also set the various departments at German universities very different standards, some from certain academic tradition. In addition, basic knowledge of scientific work (particularly the top honor for "supporting documents and quoting") depending on the instructor, Chair, faculty or university are not taught with the same care - and then, if after several generations so sloppy training no longer provides can be.

's start with the definition of plagiarism , and I Here I would like to restrict to the academic, scientific plagiarism in the context of the German scientific landscape. The decisive, as it were "legislative body" seems to me the Rectors' Conference (HRK) to be. This, interestingly, it was only a comparatively few years as necessary, by binding defined rules demand. Anyway: on 6 July 1998 recommended the HRK all institutions and binding rules to be formulated to ensure good scientific practice, there is reasonable suspicion of scientific misconduct consistently pursue and, where appropriate, to punish legally. you defined
"Scientific Malpractice is aware if in a scientific context, or gross negligence, infringement of intellectual property of others injured or otherwise as their research activities are affected. "
Infringement of intellectual property, it is one in particular" in reference to one from another created copyrighted work or coming from another significant scientific findings, hypotheses, theories or research approaches:
■ ■ the unauthorized exploitation by presumption of authorship (plagiarism)
■ ■ the exploitation of research approaches and ideas, especially as a reviewer (theft of ideas)
■ ■ presumption or unsubstantiated appropriation of scientific authorship or co
■ ■ the falsification of the content
■ ■ the unauthorized publication and disclosure to third parties as long as the work, the findings, the hypothesis, the theory or the scientific approach are not yet published "
what extent any of these allegations is true of the dissertation by Mr. Guttenberg, I would not assess at this point. It is important to note, however, that ignorance (as it "really" is) does not protect against an accusation of plagiarism. KTzG should thus have "only" acted negligently, that is, for example, set the footnotes to the wrong place, or have forgotten one or two plays, as he has already admitted the accusation of plagiarism was already founded. (A are official press release from the Defense Department is apparently not currently . In view of the "ongoing process" at the (indirect co-accused) University of Bayreuth is the m. E. understandable too.)

However, I notice, however, that the accusations that are made, are often as imprecise as it was apparently the citation of Defence. a sloppy way of working (in a "summa cum laude" rated work still to!) Is truly bad enough, and can, indeed must! for the withdrawal of the title (or how this happened: the task of the title) lead. The thesis is in fact a test to prove that you have mastered the rules of scientific work and taken to heart. Care, precision and transparency are not here simply only desirable virtues, they are the basic requirement of any scientific knowledge .
is Yet again a substantially worse allegation to imply Guttenberg had a ghostwriter hired, issued therefore a totally unknown work as his own - as has happened several times, partly as hoax message , partly by the frequent statement that he did the work "not even written."
This seems to me to be now not really happening to my previous knowledge.

And also the use of other formulations is alone - against the opinion of the Guttenplag initiator - just no plagiarism, as long as the source is indicated. apply my own, more stringent criteria than the usual science is, therefore, we say, "unhelpful". The assessment of such properly cited independent agencies under the responsibility of the PhD theses, however only the supervisors of the work and other content relevant to informed experts.

(Context: On Guttenplag it is called by the FAQs on the issue.? "One of the alleged plagiarism, the source in a footnote stated / listed in the bibliography Is that fair Edit Bei einem der angeblichen Plagiate ist die Quelle in einer Fußnote angegeben/im Literaturverzeichnis aufgeführt. Ist das fair? section

A Plagiarism is not allowed, because only as a footnote or bibliography to the source. (See also [1] , see "Plagiarism - Sources Are Cited") purpose of a thesis is to find new and represent their own position. The use of foreign literature is to be done always in the context of this purpose. This can be as critical reference on evolution be represented thoughts, ideas on term use there own thoughts (or vice versa) there. However, it only happens to an end, any extraneous thoughts to embrace to have to develop not own, so we speak of plagiarism - whether the source somewhere specified .. Or not "

A wide field, and say much for today but I have to stop, unfortunately, I'm trying to write in the next few days to more
