Chapter 266 Fighting
In an instant, Kitahara threw out the idea of outsourcing experiments. Yes, Mikiko's paper was plagiarized, and there was basically no possibility of it being overturned. But the question was whether the occurrence of this error was mainly caused by Mikiko. At least.
The academic misconduct involved in the paper "Research on the Secondary Structure of Proteins and Nucleic Acids under Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy" may lead to a breakthrough.
The citizens in the back row who had just been whispering curses at Mikiko were stunned when they heard Kitahara put forward such a point of view. They looked quite confused, and after a brief thought, their angry expressions softened again.
If all these mistakes were only caused by the experimental outsourcing company, then this seems to be a forgivable thing. From this point of view, it is no wonder why when the expert group voted, some professors thought that although Mikiko had academic deficiencies
Extreme, but not serious enough to revoke the degree. It seems that this vote is justified.
The trend in the courtroom is changing again quietly.
Standing there, Kitahara still showed a somewhat cynical smile. At this moment, he seemed like an ancient puppet master walking on the streets in Japan. The people present seemed to have become his dolls. As long as he opened his mouth and spoke,
By gently flicking the silver wire connecting the puppet, you can control the hearts and minds of the people in this room.
Zhuze couldn't help but clenched his teeth slightly.
Now, this female lawyer with rich litigation experience has realized the difficulty of the Beihara lawyer in front of her.
He is like an extremely ferocious vicious dog.
Once he gets stuck on you, he will open his fangs and attack again and again. No matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of him.
What an extremely annoying opponent.
Zhuze was rapidly thinking about countermeasures in his mind, how to deal with the tricky defense of the lawyer on the other side.
At this moment, Kitahara looked at Takezawa. Of course, he would not be merciful and leave room for his opponent to think. In a lawsuit like today, if he makes a slight mistake, he will end up falling off a cliff. There is no time for him to proceed today.
Taking risks. Beiyuan immediately took a step forward and continued to pursue:
"The chief referee please pay attention to Part B of the "Experiment Outsourcing Contract" signed by Mikiko and Bio-Xintoku Co., Ltd., Article 5 stipulates, "The company has the obligation to conduct diligent experiments on behalf of the client and needs to be faithful and complete in accordance with the client's requirements.
, conduct experiments without errors, and must not commit fraud. It is necessary to ensure the authenticity, timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of experimental data records, and to ensure the repeatability of experiments."
"It can be seen from this clause that Bio-Xintoku Co., Ltd. has the following obligations. First, conduct the experiment completely in accordance with Mikiko's requirements. Second, record the experimental data and ensure the authenticity of the data. It can be seen from this that,
Mikiko, as the client, did not actually have the intention to fabricate, fabricate, or splice the experimental data. On the contrary, it was the trustee, Bioxund Co., Ltd., who did not follow the "Experiment Outsourcing Contract" and Mikiko's entrustment instructions, and committed the fraud on its own.
"
"As the author of the paper, my client should indeed be responsible for the authenticity of the data in it. However, the plaintiff's attorney hereby hopes that the collegial panel will notice that my plaintiff did not have the intention to plagiarize or fabricate the data. The occurrence of such accidents was due to the
It was caused by the failure of the three parties to perform their duties diligently.”
The voice fell.
Zhuze stood up immediately, only hearing her voice, and retorted sharply: "Of course, outsourcing of experiments can also constitute academic misconduct. It is not as alleged by the plaintiff's attorney that just one sentence is caused by a third party.
Just take her away gently and don’t pursue it further.”
"Experimental outsourcing is a type of academic misconduct when it is not reasonable." Takezawa said: "First, when the outsourcing experiment is the main part of the paper, outsourcing at this time is tantamount to using it by others.
It is academic misconduct to ghostwrite a paper. The plaintiff Mikiko's paper is "Study on the secondary structure of proteins and nucleic acids under enhanced Raman spectroscopy". In this paper, the most important thing is actually to study the Raman
Structure of proteins and nucleic acids under spectroscopy."
"In other words, the use of Raman spectroscopy to detect the relevant proteins can be said to be the most critical and important part of this paper. However, the plaintiff left this most important part to outsiders.
They contracted a company to perform the operation, and at the same time they did not verify the key data. It was obvious that they were ghostwriting, not outsourcing."
"Second, experimental outsourcing is technically necessary. That is to say, when the outsourcing company has experimental equipment that our laboratory does not have, in this case, it will be reasonable to choose outsourcing experiments. However,
We see that the Takeuchi-Muragi joint laboratory already has a Raman spectrometer. Although the plaintiff’s attorney claimed that the use of the Raman spectrometer was strained due to too many laboratory projects. However, is this defense really tenable? Is the plaintiff Mikiko really
Can’t we wait in line to use the relevant equipment? When the laboratory already has the relevant equipment, it is still outsourcing the experiment. This choice is not technically necessary!”
"To sum up, the plaintiff's attorney's view that the so-called fault was mainly caused by a third party is obviously wrong and is evading responsibility!"
Zhuze was like a continuous cannonball, continuously pouring out fierce artillery fire.
However, Kitahara did not show any weakness and immediately fired back: "Chief referee! In fact, using a Raman spectrometer to detect relevant proteins and nucleic acids does not require superb experimental skills to complete the experiment. Rather than requiring experimental skills,
Rather, it is an operational experiment with very low technical content."
"Yes, using a Raman spectrometer to detect proteins is indeed a key experimental step in this paper. However, the skill required for this experimental step is extremely low in originality. Even if it is performed by a third party,
It does not detract from the originality of the paper. The most important part of the paper is not the use of a spectrometer for illumination, but the use of theoretical models to interpret the illumination results! Therefore, there is a huge fallacy in the views of the defendant's attorney just now!
"
Another burst of fierce gunfire rang out.
Kitahara showed his fangs again and fought back fiercely.
In the courtroom, the young male lawyer was having an inextricable fight with the senior administrative lawyer on the other side. The two sides were seen arguing with each other, and for a while, the ordinary citizens at the scene were stunned.
We are confused as to who is right and who is wrong in this lawsuit.
At this moment, Asakura Yan, who had not stood up, moved.
He watched the trial unfold with cold eyes.
The fact that the plaintiff's lawyer on the opposite side could stir up the situation to such an extent was indeed a bit beyond his imagination.
However, it's time for everything to end.
Let this ridiculous game end.
This great authority on administrative law has decided to come to an end again.
In an instant, like dark clouds, lightning and thunder, in the melee, another god and giant entered.
Asakura Yan stood up slowly, with an extremely cold expression on his face, and said: "Whether the referee Mikiko's experimental outsourcing behavior is academic misconduct, you only need to look at one thing. That is the so-called
After signing the experimental outsourcing contract, did Mikiko actively provide the information necessary for the experiment to Biotech Co., Ltd.? If so, then Mikiko did not have the purpose of committing academic misconduct."
"But if not!" Asakura Hiko said with a strong emphasis, "If Mikiko did not provide the information necessary for the experiment to the Bio-Xintoku Co., Ltd., then she knew that the company could only fabricate and fabricate the data to complete the corresponding tasks.
Under such circumstances, Mikiko certainly had the subjective purpose of committing academic misconduct, and she deliberately allowed Bio-Xinde Co., Ltd. to commit such behavior."
"And we saw——" Asakura Yan slowly held up a booklet, which was a collection of Mikiko's campus mailboxes. "From what the university knows, after Mikiko signed a contract with Biotech Co., Ltd.,
No more emails were sent to provide any details and information required for the experiment. Obviously, this is a clear academic misconduct called "outsourcing, but actually ghostwriting"!
Chapter completed!
