Main Article Content
Abstract
In the conditions of open access to electronic versions of scientific materials (articles, books, dissertations), a great threat has appeared regarding their dishonest use. In addition, some authors of publications use unscrupulous schemes to increase and speed up their authorship. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze schemes of academic dishonesty related to the authorship of scientific publications and to determine measures to prevent them separately for different subjects. The following methods were used to realize the purpose of the research: analysis, observation, interviewing – to identify various schemes of academic dishonesty, which are used by scientists to increase the number of their own publications, or for other reasons; graphic method – for their schematic representation. The author considers nine schemes of academic dishonesty, which were formed on the basis of the analysis of personal pages of scientists and articles in scientific journals, observations of scientific activities, and interviewing. The reasons and goals of their occurrence are indicated. A laconic symbolic name was selected for each scheme: «Migration», «Voualization», «Resection», «Intervention», «Extraction», «Cooperation», «Compilation», «Accumulation», «Evacuation». In order to prevent manifestations of academic dishonesty, a number of measures are proposed separately for higher education institutions and scientific institutions, as well as editorial boards of journals and private publishing houses, where materials are submitted for publication.
