Audit Flags Alleged Plagiarism In Funded NSF Proposals
审查确认部分NSF项目涉嫌剽窃

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is investigating nearly 100 cases of suspected plagiarism drawn from a single year’s worth of proposals funded by the agency.

美国国家自然科学基金委（NSF）正在审查将近100份被怀疑存在剽窃行为的案例，这些案例来自于NSF一年内所支持的项目。

The cases were spotted in an internal examination by NSF’s Office of Inspector General (IG) of every proposal that NSF funded in fiscal year 2011. The use of plagiarism software on some 8000 awards made that year resulted in a “hit rate” of 1% to 1.5%.

这些案例是在一次NSF监查委员会的内部审查中被发现的，该次审查涵盖了2011财政年内资助的所有项目。通过使用剽窃鉴别软件对当年大约8000个奖励基金进行核查，结果发现“命中率”是1%到1.5%。

Plagiarism is one of three categories, along with fabrication and falsification, recognized as research misconduct by federal research agencies. NSF IG Allison Lerner told a congressional panel recently that the number of “substantive allegations of misconduct associated with NSF proposals and awards … has more than tripled in the past 10 years,as has the number of findings of research misconduct.” She said her office has issued 120 findings of research misconduct since 2003 and that “more than 80%” involved plagiarism.

剽窃是政府科研机构所认定的三种学术不当行为之一，另外两种是捏造和篡改。NSF监查委员会的Allison Lerner最近告诉一个国会专家组说“对和NSF有关的基金奖励的实质性学术不当指控……在最近10年内增长了3倍多，这一数字也是所发现的学术不当行为案例的数量”。她说，监查委员会自2003年以来已经公布了120起学术不当行为的案例，其中“超过80%”存在剽窃行为。
