推薦コメント
Unlike some schools, Hokudai does not ask its constituents to
explicitly declare academic integrity.
Instead, the code of ethics is implicit.
The lack of declaration or affirmation is not by itself detrimental (although a formal ceremony or signing of a statement might add weight to the commitment).
The danger lies in two aspects.
(a) Risk of unfairness. Unspecified rules are difficult to apply consistently.
(b) Risk of reluctant compliance. Researchers who do not understand why such rules exist are less likely to abide by the spirit of the rules. Scientists who do not embrace high standards may view them as a bureaucratic hinderance, or worse, connive methods to
circumvent them.
This book explains several methods for sustaining academic integrity.
The authors were directly involved in a case where a PhD student
copied whole sections of his dissertation from the work of others.
Statistical analyses conclusively showed that almost all of the
student's work was not his! (I refer to this student as a male person, but it could have been female.)
Incredibly, the student was allowed to graduate. What do you think? Should he have been reprimanded?
If so, should he have been expelled, or allowed to resubmit his dissertation?
What would you do?
