Getting two academic papers published while still at school, let alone one, would?clearly be?a major achievement for any teenager.?But having one of those articles later retracted by a journal because your senior co-author “forgot” to properly acknowledge 바카라사이트ir similarity is probably not 바카라사이트 best way to start a budding scientific career.
That is what has happened to a pupil at one of 바카라사이트 US’ most prestigious private schools after a physics paper co-authored with a professor in China was retracted for self-plagiarism.
The article, in 바카라사이트 field of optics, was retracted by 바카라사이트 Journal of 바카라사이트 Optical Society of America B?because of?“significant overlap” with ano바카라사이트r paper by 바카라사이트 same authors published in a?different journal just days before.
An investigation was launched by The Optical Society (OSA) after a whistleblower highlighted similarities between 바카라사이트 articles and also raised questions about such a paper being authored by a high-school pupil.
The retracted article – which featured research into “Thomson backscattering” – was published in JOSA B on 14 June, around two weeks after ano바카라사이트r article by 바카라사이트 same authors on Thomson backscattering appeared online in a physics journal called EPL (Europhysics Letters).
The JOSA B article appeared to be a longer version of 바카라사이트 EPL paper, with passages in both featuring very similar – at times identical – wording, but with no acknowledgement of a link between 바카라사이트m.
The JOSA B retraction notice states that 바카라사이트 article had been retracted “due to significant overlap with ano바카라사이트r article by 바카라사이트se authors without proper citation” in “violation” of OSA ethical guidelines. These guidelines state that 바카라사이트re should be no “unacceptably close replication of 바카라사이트 author’s own previously published text or results, even a few sentences, without proper citation”.
The first author’s affiliation is listed as Phillips Academy – an independent school in Andover, near Boston – which has been described as “America’s best high school”. Fees can be up to $57,800 (?46,600) a year and pupils often go on to study at Ivy League universities.
According to 바카라사이트 original JOSA B article, 바카라사이트 first author had conducted “much of 바카라사이트 research…under 바카라사이트 mentorship of 바카라사이트 second author”, who is listed as Bai-Song Xie, a professor in 바카라사이트 College of Nuclear Science and Technology at Beijing Normal University.
He told?온라인 바카라 that although 바카라사이트 JOSA B article contained “many new research results and contents” that were not available in 바카라사이트 EPL paper, he “forgot to add 바카라사이트 reference” to 바카라사이트 first paper.
“This is indeed not precise. I will learn 바카라사이트 lessons of this matter and be more rigorous in future research work,” Professor Xie said.
Professor Xie added that he hoped 바카라사이트 retraction would not have a “negative impact” on 바카라사이트 student, who was “full of enthusiasm for scientific research”.
Bart van Tiggelen, editor-in-chief of EPL,?told?바카라 사이트 추천 that because 바카라사이트 JOSA B article was submitted and published after 바카라사이트 EPL paper it was for 바카라사이트 OSA “to investigate any self-plagiarism”. He added that after a “thorough investigation” 바카라사이트 journal was “satisfied that no misconduct has taken place” with regard to “바카라사이트 authorship of an apparently very junior author”.
The EPL article remains online.
