一个18岁的高中生竟能在高三繁重的课业之余,依然“从事马克思主义研究”,并以第一作者身份发表长达12页的教育部资助项目论文?
请看相关报道:
The dual authorship of an academic paper by an 18-year-old high school student and her monther has sparked a controversy. The papers show that the mother, a professor of Marxism at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in Wuhan, is the secondary author.
一个年仅18岁的高中生与母亲“联合发表”的学术论文在网上引发热议。身为中南财经政法大学马克思主义学院教授母亲仅是“第二作者”。
网民称母亲帮女儿以第一作者身份(the first author)发表论文,是为了让她获得两所当地高校的自主招生入围资格(to be qualified for independent recruitment in two local universities)。面对质疑,母亲辩解称,孩子出生于书香之家(was born and bred in a well-educated family),有能力写这个文章。
虽不能一口断定高中生就写不出这样的论文,但公众对此事提出质疑,并掀起对学术道德的讨论(raise controversies and doubts about academic ethics)也很正常。要回应质疑高校应对该学生的学术能力进行客观考核(obliged to get the student's real research capability validated)。如证实造假,还应追究其母的学术不端(academic misconduct)行为。
