Virtual achievements in scientific research: Vietnamese universities may be “eaten up” | Education



[ad_1]

LTS: When Thanh Nien newspaper’s series of virtual achievements in scientific research was published, Dr. Duong Tu from Purdue University, USA, spent a lot of time checking the information published by Thanh Nien newspaper and sharing share with Thanh Nien some of his findings, as well as his views on this topic. Recently, Dr. Duong Tu synthesized some of his findings in an article to send to Thanh Nien newspaper and shared it on his personal page, asking the Vietnamese scientific community to cooperate and track. The thugs prey on what he calls the “international scientific mafia” and target Vietnamese universities as prey.

Let’s stop arguing together to fight the “alien invaders of science”

In the debate on the latest “market for buying and selling scientific articles”, about three articles that some national scientists, for some reason, may sympathize, have to “sell”, in fact, only a very small part of the “market” . The problem is more complicated and really very serious, there are foreign contractors who are acting as a focal point to collect thousands of high quality items, bring down the bran from everywhere and then “sell” them to Vietnamese universities. Male.

No ordinary scientist can publish hundreds of papers each year in all fields, both theoretical and experimental calculations, from political science, mathematics, pharmacy to materials science, astrophysics, computer science. But the reality has appeared in these scientists “superman”. They are the “bosses of the network of foreign scientific mafias that are sucking the blood of Vietnamese universities.”

Some schools in the country may think that they are the ones actively “buying” the item, but in fact, they are very likely to fall prey to these cannibals. Looking at it this way, Vietnamese universities fall victim to bullies collecting, buying and selling items. Therefore, everyone please refrain from criticizing the victims.

The enormous amount of money that schools have to spend to buy foreign science mob cards if they are used to invest in their own researchers, or to invite real national and foreign scientists to work. Research cooperation, in fact, will undoubtedly bring more value and much more meaning to all parties than to all of Vietnam’s science.

Hopefully, the Vietnamese research community temporarily puts aside the controversy around internal issues to fight the “foreign invaders of science”, cooperate with each other to analyze, investigate and separate the network of scientific mafias from these old they are hunting. We hope that researchers working in many different fields will support the reading and true quality of the articles by these carnivorous authors.

Some typical predators

1. “Superman” Iskander Tlili

This person works in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Majmaah University in Saudi Arabia. From 2018 until now, Iskander Tlili has published 171 articles with the contact address (affiliation), Ton Duc Thang University, and another 49 articles for affiliation, Duy Tan University.

In the last 8 months alone, this “superman” has published 111 articles with the Ton Duc Thang affiliation and 48 articles with Duy Tan.

Iskander Tlili is not on the staff list for Ton Duc Thang University and Duy Tan University.

The fields this genius covers are diverse, many fields not related to his mechanical engineering (name of the field with the number of articles next to it, note that an article may in more than one area): physics and astronomy (138), chemistry (61), mathematics (57), engineering (55), chemical engineering (41), energy (30), materials science (23), computer science (21), environmental science (8); biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology (7); Social Sciences (5).

2. “The king retired” Shahaboddin Shamshirband

According to information provided by Shahaboddin Shamshirband himself, he currently holds the following titles: Faculty Member of the University of Malaya, Malaysia); academic professors at the Chalous Islamic University in Iran; postdoctoral research fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology; Adjunct Professor at Ton Duc Thang University.

In some places, he wrote the address as Duy Tan University.

During the period of 2017 until now, Shahaboddin Shamshirband has published 150 articles with the contact address of Ton Duc Thang University, in all fields, namely: mathematics (76), engineering (52), energy quality (29), environmental science (21), materials science (21), chemical engineering (16), social science (12); biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology (8); physics and astronomy (8), agricultural sciences and biology (7), chemistry (7), earth and planetary sciences (5), medicine (5); business, administration and accounting (2).

According to data from Retraction Watch, many journals deleted this person a total of 46 articles for the following main reasons: fake peer review, ghost author (fake / fake authorship), data concerns, unreliable data, article duplication, article plagiarism.

The reasons why the journals removed all 46 articles by Shahaboddin Shamshirband shed some light on the question of how an author can bypass journals to publish hundreds of articles a year in all different fields. such.

In fact, this is not a new trick in the world. When submitting articles to journals, the scientific mob will propose peer reviewers who are on their very wide networks to review each other’s articles. In this way, any magazine, even the most famous one, can be misled by the fake review process.

Despite a doctorate in social sciences, Kittisak Jermsittiparsert not only publishes in this field, but also invaded everything else, from theoretical computing to experimentation, namely: arts and humanities. (111); business, administration and accounting (67); engineering (63), informatics (57), energy (55), physics and astronomy (37); pharmacology, toxicity and drug preparation (35); Materials Sciences (25), Chemistry (17), Environmental Sciences (17), Mathematics (17), Medicine (10), Chemical Engineering (4).

Dr. Duong Tu, Purdue University, USA, is a contributor to Youthas he was a graduate student in Belgium.

In writing Achievement metastatic disease Published in Youth, Dr. Duong Tu commented, “While society has been frustrated many times by the negative manifestations and achievement of the disease in education, the pursuit of virtual achievements in scientific research will continue to aggravate the disease. This deep depression caused it to metastasize throughout the academic community and then gradually destroy the pillars of the sacred scientific temple in a vortex of nonstop corruption.
