Edinorosov called blackmail

Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation suspected of improper borrowing in the texts of theses, called blackmail requirement to verify their scientific work. This was reported by RIA Novosti.

"This is pure blackmail. I do not comment on nonsense, "- said the first deputy head of the faction" United Russia "Nikolay Bulaev the letter of scientists, which dealt with the improper loans in the works of Deputies.

MP Olga Batalina noticed that the official position of the Higher Attestation Commission "this psevdorazoblacheniyam" was not. Vladimir Burmatov convicted of improper borrowing in the winter of 2012, the authors suggested that the letters "WAC disperse," if they have any questions.





The letter, addressed to the deputies of the State Duma, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, it has been posted on the Company scientists September 14. Currently under it signed 400 (.pdf): 154 doctors and 256 candidates of sciences, including 4 academicians and 13 corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Signatures keep coming to the letter.

The appeal scientists are links to the analysis of theses 25 deputies voted for the bill on the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In all these works, according to the analysis, there are a large number of incorrect loans (the analysis was carried out without the use of commercial software). In some theses, scientists have found other violations, such as inauthentic references to publications in the "Rakovsky" editions or references to non-existent issues.

Authors of the appeal notice, in most cases, WAC refused to examine the merits of an appeal against the award of the degree of the action of the three-year statute of limitations. "But the lapse of time can not turn the offense into a virtue, to make & lt; ... & gt; other people's words and thoughts - their own, "- said in the letter. Therefore, according to scientists, deputies suspected of a serious breach of scientific ethics, should not participate in deciding the fate of Russian Academy of Sciences.

"We draw your attention to the fact that the vote of the deputies for the destruction of the RAS can be dictated by the fear of exposure and motives of personal revenge academic community" - scientists say.

In addition to checking theses, authors of the appeal asking the government to recommend to the State Duma to withdraw the bill on the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences, found guilty of improper borrowing of Deputies - to resign, and other deputies - to recommend to the Ethics Commission to consider the application of measures for illegally obtaining academic degrees and return the law of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the first reading.

Himself Burmatov accusations rejected, noting in particular that the program "Anti-plagiarism" (check it works for borrowings in the Russian State Library) does not always work correctly. At the same time, scientists and activists, checking the work of deputies and officials, this program is not used.

The bill on the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences was introduced by the Government to the State Duma in late June and was soon adopted in two readings. After sharp protests from scientists and negotiations RAS President Vladimir Fortov Vladimir Putin deputies decided to return the document to the second reading. The relevant question, RIA Novosti reported, citing an anonymous source in the State Duma, on the agenda of the plenary meeting on 17 September.
