Dissernet ((ロシア語:Диссернет)) is a voluntary networking community working for purification of the Russian science from plagiarism. The core activity of the community is conducting examinations of doctoral and habilitation (higher doctorate) theses defended in Russian scientific and educational institutions since the end of the 1990s, and making known the results of such examinations to as many people as possible. The community is composed of professional scientists working in various fields of science both in Russia and abroad – and also journalists, civil activists and volunteers. == The work of community == The objective of Dissernet’s examinations is to detect gross and deliberate violations of the legally established rules for certification of scientific workers’, as well as violations of the regulations for awarding academic degrees. Dissernet deems theses containing such violations to be fraudulent, and diplomas certifying the doctoral and higher doctoral degrees conferred after defending such theses to be illegal and subject to cancellation. The key elements of the dissertation fraud detected in the course of Dissernet’s analyses are as follows: * Large-scale, bad faith and non-attributed plagiarism of other people's scientific works and other texts used by the authors of examined works in breach of the proper citation rules fixed in regulations of the Higher Attestation Commission (VAK) of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia; * Falsification of scientific research articles which, according to VAK regulations, are a mandatory prerequisite for awarding the respective academic degree to the applicant; * Gross violations of the rules for thesis preparation (documenting performed research, interaction with the scientific research supervisor, advisor, opponents, co-authors, getting formal responses, etc.) as well as the procedure for defense of the thesis prescribed by VAK regulations. Within the active phase of Dissernet’s activity, which started in January 2013, its members have published results of examinations of thesis defended by scores of well-known and powerful Russian politicians and public figures. As of the middle of the year 2014, more than 2000 completed expertises of Doctoral and higher doctoral theses in various directions and branches of science were contained in Dissernet database.〔(The latest expertises ) on the Dissernet site〕 Among the people attracting Dissernet’s attention were deputies of the State Duma,〔(Russia’s bloggers help authorities expose forged dissertations ) // ITAR-TASS〕 members of the Federation Council, governors of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, high-ranking officials of executive authorities,〔(Russia’s Top Investigator Accused of Plagiarism ) // RIA Novosti〕 heads of security and military services, etc.〔(The Moscow minister will ask to cancel his thesis ) // Russian News〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dissernet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
