JVC发函澄清:蒋伟宁是「无辜」受害人

蒋伟宁因为涉及论文造假,辞去教育部长职位

政治中心台北报导

前教育部长蒋伟宁15日上午发表声明声称收到《国际震动及控制期刊》(JVC)回复给他的信函,信中明确指出,蒋挂名的5篇文章被撤,「并非因抄袭的结果」,而只是因为「并未经过适当且正确/合乎品质同侪审查标准予以评估」,所以蒋只是「无辜」牵涉其中。

蒋伟宁的声明表示,连日来部分媒体报导他涉及论文造假、抄袭,甚有部分学界人士在未究明实情下,即轻率论断本人违反学术伦理研究团队集体造假,「此种悖离事实的报导,伤害本人名誉」,他提出严正澄清。蒋伟宁声称,他14日下午去函JVC查询自己牵涉论文造假问题,15日凌晨获得回复。JVC所属的SAGE出版公司寄给蒋的电子邮件写道:「We can confirm that these papers have not been retracted as a result of plagiarism. We cannot comment on the content and quality of the retracted papers, due to the fact that they were not assessedin line with appropriate and correct/ quality peerreview standards.」「We are able to clarify that we believe there are innocent parties involved and which may include many of those listed as co-authors such as yourself.」蒋伟宁归纳,JVC的回函指出3点,「1.我们可以肯认这些论文并非因抄袭的结果而撤回。」「2. 这些论文并未经过适当且正确/合乎品质的同侪审查标准予以评估,因此我们无法评论这些被撤回论文的内容或品质。」「3.我们可以澄清,我们相信有无辜的当事人牵涉其中,并且可能包括像您一样列名为合作者之人。」

蒋伟宁最后说,希望科技部尽快查明此一事件,还他本人及研究团队其他成员一个公道
