“Mr Weber does not disclose the candidate’s bibliography in his report […].“ Well, Mr. Schellmann can see that himself, and he should have done that before writing his comment. I have it before me, and I repeat: the copied literature is not listed there. Schellmann continues: „[…] including the diagrams, which were certainly not original creations of the authors, because hundreds of publications on the subject in the USA also made their way into German literature.” Of course there are many such diagrams, but that’s exactly the point: Im Detail They only exist in the plagiarized sources. Schellmann is simply being superficial here and obviously doesn’t even know how to recognize plagiarism.
“If the relevant works with diagrams were listed in the bibliography, then the candidate complied with the practice at the time (2001) at the universities of applied sciences.” The Vienna University of Applied Sciences should now quickly distance itself from its editor, because he writes nothing other than that shameless page after page of plagiarism from the Internet corresponded to the practice of the universities of applied sciences 22 years ago.
It would be interesting to see the 70 master’s theses that Mr. Schellmann says he initially assessed. Perhaps, in the spirit of scientific honesty, he will send it to me to check ex post. I venture the hypothesis that I would discover a lot.
The technical universities in Austria want to offer doctoral studies. Mr. Schellmann catapults the universities of applied sciences back 20 years with his argument.
Stefan Weber is a qualified communications scientist and plagiarism expert at the University of Vienna.
