母女“聯(lián)名發(fā)表”論文引質(zhì)疑

一個18歲的高中生竟能在高三繁重的課業(yè)之余，依然“從事馬克思主義研究”，并以第一作者身份發(fā)表長達12頁的教育部資助項目論文?

請看相關報道：

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.

一個年僅18歲的高中生與母親“聯(lián)合發(fā)表”的學術論文在網(wǎng)上引發(fā)熱議。身為中南財經(jīng)政法大學馬克思主義學院教授母親僅是“第二作者”。

網(wǎng)民稱母親幫女兒以第一作者身份(the first author)發(fā)表論文，是為了讓她獲得兩所當?shù)馗咝５淖灾髡猩雵Y格(to be qualified for independent recruitment in two local universities)。面對質(zhì)疑，母親辯解稱，孩子出生于書香之家(was born and bred in a well-educated family)，有能力寫這個文章。

雖不能一口斷定高中生就寫不出這樣的論文，但公眾對此事提出質(zhì)疑，并掀起對學術道德的討論(raise controversies and doubts about academic ethics)也很正常。要回應質(zhì)疑高校應對該學生的學術能力進行客觀考核(obliged to get the student's real research capability validated)。如證實造假，還應追究其母的學術不端(academic misconduct)行為。
