Beschreibung des Wikis

Dies ist eine kollaborative Dokumentation der Plagiate – jeder ist eingeladen, hier mitzuarbeiten. Ergänzungen und Änderungen in diesem Wiki sind transparent und jederzeit nachvollziehbar. Jede Bearbeitung wird protokolliert. Siehe: Letzte Änderungen (ohne Diskussionsbeiträge)

Guttenbergs Dissertation und die Plagiatsvorwürfe wurden seit dem 16. Februar 2011 intensiv in nahezu allen deutschsprachigen Medien behandelt. Eine Chronologie der Ereignisse findet man hier.

Hinweis

Wir möchten klarstellen, dass diese Aktion nichts mit politischer Ausrichtung, persönlicher Schmutzkampagne oder ähnlichem zu tun hat. Unser Ziel ist, die wissenschaftliche Integrität eines Doktortitels in Deutschland zu sichern, damit auch weiterhin eine korrekte wissenschaftliche Arbeitsweise von Trägern eines solchen Titels erwartet werden kann. Durch Aufdecken der existierenden Plagiate in der vorliegenden Dissertation versuchen wir, der Bayreuther Prüfungskommission die Arbeit zu erleichtern. Sollten sich auch Dissertationen von Politikern am anderen Ende des Spektrums durch Plagiate „auszeichnen“, hätten wir keinerlei Probleme, genauso zu verfahren.

Description of the wiki

This is a collaborative documentation of cases of plagiarism - everyone is invited to join in. For questions and suggestions, a tweet to @PlagDoc works best.

In this wiki, additions and modifications are transparent and easy to trace back. Each edit is being recorded - see Recent Changes (without discussions).

Since February 16, Guttenberg's dissertation and the plagiarism row have been covered in virtually all German-language media outlets. For a chronology, see here.

Note: We moved from Google Docs to Wikia because the traffic load became too heavy for the former.

Thank you very very much for all the support you gave so far - please keep it up! You rock!

Note

We wish to clarify that this initiative has nothing to do with political preferences, personal dirt campaigns or the like. It is our aim to protect the scientific integrity of a doctoral degree in Germany, such that holders of such a degree can continue to be expected to follow good scientific practice. By revealing the existing cases of plagiarism in the dissertation at hand, we attempt to facilitate the work of the Review panel at the University of Bayreuth that is investigating the matter. Should dissertations of politicians from the other end of the spectrum "distinguish" themselves by way of plagiarism, we would have no problem to proceed in the same manner.
