Hsinchu mayor candidate Gao Hongan, who is known as the "academic tyrant 'legislator'", was recently involved in the suspicion of plagiarism of papers. Taiwan's "Mirror Weekly" media received a revelation that her doctoral thesis copied and posted research cases and papers jointly published with other researchers of the "School Association". even pictures, tables and other contents are the same , but the source is not cited, and it is suspected that she has not obtained the authorization of the "School Association".
Gao Hongan's paper dispute continues to spread. On the afternoon of October 19, Zhuo Zhenghong, CEO of the "Zijing Sect Association", said that he had sent a lawyer's letter to Gao Hongan on the 13th, claiming the copyright of the Zijing Sect Association's research paper, but no response has been received. If there is no reply from the 7th day after the lawyer's letter is delivered, a lawsuit will be filed on the 21st as soon as possible.
According to reports, "DPP legislator" Lai Ruilong asked in an inquiry that Gao Hongan went to without reporting to study for a doctorate degree at the University of Cincinnati. After returning to Taiwan, he founded the Kezhi Enterprise and worked part-time in the company without reporting, and he had doubts about infringement of the results of the "Science and Science and Technology" program.
Zhuo Zhenghong replied that the "Zi Ce Association" had sent a lawyer's letter to Gao Hongan on October 13, claiming the copyright of the Zi Ce Association's research paper, but Gao Hongan has not yet responded to the explanation. If there is no reply from the 7th day after the lawyer's letter is delivered, a lawsuit is expected to be filed on the 21st or 24th.
Lai Ruilong asked whether the Zi Ce Society had published a paper on the University of Cincinnati, explained the results of the comparison of Gao Hongan's doctoral thesis and the Zi Ce Society's research papers to the school, and asked the school to explain.
Zhuo Zhenghong said that is finally confirming the text of the letter with the lawyer, and it is expected that will be sent in the next few days.
As for whether Gao Hongan had reported during her study at the University of Cincinnati, Zhuo Zhenghong said that she did not report in the first three semesters, nor did she explain that the "Zi Ce Association" only began to know about this matter after she applied for short-term study in the fourth semester, and will continue to clarify the content of the case. The legal actions that should be carried out, including filing a lawsuit, will be handled in accordance with regulations.
. Will there be any other similar cases? Zhuo Zhenghong said that it is still in a comprehensive investigation and no similar cases have been found.
It is reported that Gao Hongan has received a subsidy to study in the United States and pursue a doctorate degree from the University of Cincinnati in the United States. The suspected rumor of his paper was already in August this year. Some netizens took out the 2017 Gao Hongan and the "Zi Ce Society" cooperation paper and the 2018 Gao Hongan's thesis. After the comparison, the netizen pointed out that can find that high degree papers and "Zi Ce Society" papers have the same situation in some articles and data tables, and is not cited. However, other methods are also written in the methodology, which seems to have newly added experiments, but the methodology part is basically based on the paper "Zijianhui". It seems that it is not too perfunctory. Whether it is copied depends on the opinions.
Previously, Mirror Weekly also pointed out that Gao Hongan's research results may cause three major controversies. In addition to not being authorized to use by the "Scholar Association" and having doubts about infringing on the rights of intellectual property rights, the most serious thing about is that if it meets the definition of plagiarism from the University of Cincinnati, the degree may be revoked. Finally, after she got her doctorate degree, she went directly to Hon Hai to work, and was questioned about using public resources as a career springboard.
