被称为最年轻市长的周森锋,似乎注定将面对无数的质疑和压力。自从21日全票当选湖北省襄樊宜城市市长以来,周森锋的家庭背景、当选程序甚至家人都成为了媒体和网民质疑的对象。
There seems to be no end to the problems of Zhou Senfeng, believed to be China`s youngest mayor. On June 21 he was elected mayor of Xiangfan City, Hubei Province. However, his elevation mayoral office has sparked heated debate, both in cyberspace and traditional media, with questions being raised over his family background, the fairness of the election, and even the honesty of his relations.
一篇题为《最年轻市长硕士期间论文涉嫌抄袭》的帖子在网上被广泛转贴。发帖者称,周森锋在清华大学期间投稿发表的一篇论文,与他人早前所写的论文相似度超过50%,怀疑涉嫌抄袭。
An article suggesting that an essay he published while he was a master`s student at Qinghua University was plagiarized was being read widely on the Internet. The article claims that 50 percent of its content is the work of other authors.
记者从中国期刊网上下载了这名网友提到的两篇论文。经对比发现,网友所述基本属实。
To prove it, our reporter downloaded Zhou and his co author`s essay, as well as the article it is suspected they copied from and concluded that the suspicions are well grounded.
襄樊市组织部接受晨报记者采访时表示,周森锋论文涉嫌抄袭,其指导老师或刊发论文的杂志社应该负相应责任,组织部门当时没有条件也没有能力对周森锋研究生期间所做论文进行考察。
According to the Morning Post, the Xiangfan Organization Department said that the claims were a matter for Zhou`s adviser or the journal which published the article. The Post adds that the department disclaims responsibility for investigating the allegations.
[网友质疑] 与他人论文相似度超50%
Netizen`s doubts: 50 percent similarity.
记者查询发现,质疑"最年轻市长论文抄袭"的帖子最早出现在23日上午10时左右。在这篇帖子中,一位匿名网友称,29岁市长周森锋硕士在读期间发表的论文《基于价值链的房地产企业核心竞争力分析》涉嫌抄袭,和一篇发表于2002年的论文相似度超过50%。
The anonymous article, which raises the question of plagiarism, was published at 10 A.M. on June 23. It claims that the 29-year-old mayor`s co-authored essay, entitled "Core Competence of Real Estate Enterprises Based on Value China" should be suspected of plagiarism. It adds that there is a 50 percent similarity between Zhou`s article and the article the author suggests he plagiarized.
记者随即在中国期刊网上下载了这两篇论文。被网友指为抄袭的论文为《基于价值链的房地产企业核心竞争力分析》(下称"周文"),周森锋为第一作者,谢岳来为第二作者,发表期刊为《商业研究》2005年第14期,收稿日期为2004年3月31日,正文字数约为5500字。
According to information on China Journal Net, the article is the work of Zhou Senfeng and Xie Yue. It was published in Business Studies, 2005, Issue 14, and submitted on March 31, 2004. It has 5,500 characters.
被抄袭的论文《论房地产企业的核心竞争力》(下称"王文")发表于《经济体制改革》2002年第5期,包括王宇在内的3名作者都是西南交通大学经济管理学院博士研究生,正文字数约为4900字。
"Core Competence of Real Estate Development Enterprises" was published in the 2002, Issue 5 issue of the journal. Its 3 authors were all doctoral candidates at Southwest Jiaotong University`s School of Economics and Business Management. One of the authors is Wang Yu. The article has about 4,900 characters.
记者对比发现,“周文”中第四部分“房地产企业的核心竞争力”中,有3段共700多字,和“王文”中的第四部分完全一样。
In part 4 of Zhou and Xie`s article 3 paragraphs (about 700 characters) are identical to a passage in Wang and his co authors` piece.
[专家意见] 超一成摘抄未标注算抄袭
Experts` opinion: an article in which more than 10 per cent of external content is not properly cited should be considered plagiarism.
记者试图就上述论文联系周森锋本人或其导师刘洪玉,但都未能如愿。
Our reporter`s efforts to contact Zhou Senfeng and his master`s advisor Lu Hongyu met with failure.
就论文抄袭如何认定,记者采访了复旦大学学术委员会副主任俞吾金教授。俞吾金告诉记者,根据学术论文规范,一般来说,摘抄他人论文部分占原文10%以上,并且未对摘抄部分出处作具体标注说明,就应该算抄袭。“但如果论文作者在论文结尾标注了具体'参考文献',抄袭程度会因此有所减低。”
Yu Wujin, deputy director of Fudan University`s scholarship committee, said that, even if an article contained 10 percent plagiarized material, if an author had supplied detailed references, there was a case for leniency.
记者发现,“周文”结尾没有详细注释,但在文末“参考文献”中列出了包括“王文”在内的5篇论文和1本译著。
Our reporter found that Zhou and Xie Yue`s article lacks detailed notes but that it does cite 6 references - 5 essays (including that by Wang and his collaborators) and 1 translated work.
我国文化部《图书、期刊版权保护试行条例实施细则》第15条第一项规定:"适当引用"指作者在一部作品中引用他人作品的片断。引用非诗词类作品不得超过2500字或被引用作品的十分之一。
According to Ministry of Culture regulations, "proper citation" is indicated quotation from or reference to another`s work. Citation should not exceed 2,500 characters or 10 percent of the work. Poems are an exception to the rule.
[襄樊组织部] 当时没有条件考察其论文
The Xiangfan Organization Department: it was not its but Zhou`s adviser or the journal itself who were responsible for investigating charges of plagiarism.
针对网友质疑周森锋论文抄袭一事,襄樊市委组织部信息科一名姓史的负责人告诉记者,如果周森锋论文真涉嫌抄袭,其指导老师或刊发论文的杂志社应该负相应责任。作为组织部门,他们当时没有条件也没有能力对周森锋研究生期间所做论文进行考察。
The Xiangfan Organization Department said that that the claims were a matter for Zhou`s adviser or the journal which published the article. The Post adds that the department disclaims responsibility for investigating the allegations.
至于组织部是否会因为论文涉嫌抄袭重新考察周森锋,该市组织部一名不愿具名的负责人向记者表示,目前还不能确定。
But one officer, who spoke to us anonymously, said that it was unclear yet whether or not Zhou would be investigated.
周森锋没有回应
Zhou Senfeng: no response
记者向周森锋询问论文一事，他没有对这一问题进行回应。记者打电话给了该论文的第二作者，周森锋的同学谢岳来，谢一直未接听手机。
When our reporter questioned Zhou Senfeng about the charges she received no response. Calls to Xie Yuelai`s mobile phone went unanswered.
周森锋的另一位同学对此事做了推测，他说，清华大学对研究生毕业有两篇论文的发表要求，但这一硬性要求对很多学生来说是很困难的，因此周森锋可能会放松对论文的要求，“我并非是为周辩护，但我们确实面临现实的困难。”
One of Zhou`s classmates at Qinghua commented that great demands were made of master`s students, who were required to publish two graduation theses. He said that although he was not "defending Zhou", the course was a challenge for all students.
比起其他同学，周森锋能够花在学术论文上的时间有限，因为他研三那年(2004年)就到襄樊挂职，而且他在襄樊建委的工作十分繁忙。这一点也与这篇论文的发表时间(也2004年)相吻合。
Compared with other students, it seems Zhou had less time to devote to his work during 2004, his last year in school, since he took up a temporary post with the Xiangfan Capital Construction Commission in that year.
