Is it necessary to clarify whether the accusation of plagiarism in a doctoral thesis at Hue University is correct or not?

The attached photo is one of the evidences of plagiarism.

Accordingly, the main content on page 141 of the doctoral thesis (in the middle) coincides with the content of a specialized newspaper of Science & Technology Son La (right photo) written about the current status of festival activities in our country, published on March 26, 2018 and the topic "Hue royal festival and the issue of preserving and promoting values to serve the people and develop Hue tourism " by Tran Duc Anh Son published in 2011 (left photo ).

Another evidence, the main content on page 132 of the thesis has the same content as the content written about the Preservation and Promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage in our country currently published in the Culture and Arts Magazine No. 337, July 2012.

The main content on page 117 of the thesis coincides with the content written about the royal festival on page 30 of the book " Hue Style" by Tran Duc Anh Son, published in 2016.

There is still a lot of evidence of plagiarism, quoted from many sources by many authors but without annotations or acknowledgement of the authors of the content used.

Many universities have rules that, even if the source is clearly cited, copying too much from one work to form a large part of one's own work is still plagiarism.

It is necessary to clarify the content of the accusation and make scientific assertions. In addition to the scientific quality of the work, there are also ethical standards that scientists must comply with.

The doctoral thesis of LTAH graduate students has a scientific supervisor and a review board. Scientists participating in this doctoral thesis are responsible for responding to plagiarism accusations, whether true or false, on a scientific basis.

Of course, authors whose works are said to be plagiarized also have the right to speak up and object to protect their rights.

Many people plagiarize, buy degrees to advance their careers or just for fame and there are "incubator" doctoral services, "speed doctoral" services to serve their needs. These doctoral training centers have destroyed the country's academic foundation.

Here, let me ask, with current technology applications, "sweeping" to detect plagiarism is so easy, why don't the Ministry of Education and Training and universities exploit it to create a "fence" to prevent cheating in scientific research works.

For the above case of plagiarism of the doctoral thesis, it is necessary to consider and handle it seriously and fairly. Clarify to protect the honor of scientists, but must be on the basis of respecting scientific honesty and the dignity of the law.
