Plagiarism, and in large sections?
Facing this person's accusation, Lin Jie furrowed his brow.
The content of this book series was summarized and refined by Lin Jie based on the vast dical knowledge in his mind, and it's a re-creation on the foundation of existing dical knowledge.
Though Lin Jie did not present any new viewpoints or notable discoveries in this dical series, such re-processing and re-creation of knowledge is permitted in academia.
Moreover, the specific references ntioned in Lin Jie's text are annotated in the footnotes.
Additionally, in the annotations of each chapter, Lin Jie briefly reviewed distinguished past and present scholars' research in the respective areas and provided so bibliographies.
"Expert Lin, I have listened to your lecture recording regarding the heart."
The voice of the bespectacled man sounded again, "At that ti, I noticed that there were large sections in your lecture materials similar to the contents in my monograph."
"Though you did not ntion my monograph or my na in the lecture recordings, I was quite pleased. Because this indicates that you have read my book and acknowledged the content of my monograph."
"Moreover, since you were teaching the book content to the top dical students dostically, I tolerated it and let it pass."
"But..."
The bespectacled man's tone shifted, filled with righteous indignation: "Expert Lin, you compiled and published the similar content into a book, and profited from it, yet you still did not note the source of the references."
"Such unnotified use makes it very hard for to endure."
"Expert Lin, now you are quite renowned, but plagiarizing others' research results would make one despised in academia and carry that stain for a lifeti..."
The small auditorium with hundreds fell silent as if the air had frozen, with only the sound of the person's accusations echoing all around.
Lin Jie knew that if he couldn't resolve this satisfactorily today, the class couldn't continue.
He spoke up: "You accuse of plagiarizing your dical research monograph; you surely have concrete evidence, don't you?"
"Of course!"
The bespectacled man walked to the podium, took a book and a laptop from his briefcase.
He glanced at Lin Jie, raised the book, and said: "Dear students, this is the dical monograph 'Anatomy of Congenital Heart Defects' that I published five years ago."
"Because it was self-published, there are not many copies, and it's rarely circulated in the market. If anyone wishes to verify, you can contact later, and I will send a copy after returning."
The person suddenly seed to recall, exclaid "Oh," and apologetically said: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yue Zuoguang, Associate Professor at Mingzhou dical University and Master Supervisor in Clinical dicine."
This Professor Yue Zuoguang very proudly stated: "I also spent a year as an exchange scholar at the Mayo Clinic."
He opened his laptop, turned to Lin Jie, and feignedly asked: "Expert Lin, do you mind if I use the classroom's projector to display the evidence, and let the present students judge?"
"Sure, go ahead!" Lin Jie gritted his teeth and replied.
A mont later, a PPT docunt was projected onto the screen using the projector.
Yue Zuoguang proudly explained: "This is from page 134, second paragraph of the cardiac volu in Expert Lin's dical series, describing a segnt on congenital single ventricle in children."
"This is my relevant description in the dical monograph. Please take a close look."
Lin Jie looked up and was montarily stunned.
While the wording and expression slightly differed in these two paragraphs, the content and description of the anatomical symptoms were overall not too different.
Objectively speaking, Lin Jie felt it would not be excessive to judge this paragraph as similar.
Noticing Lin Jie's tensed expression, Yue Zuoguang laughed mockingly and said: "This paragraph might be excused as great minds think alike, but what about this paragraph, and this one..."
"Or even this paragraph..."
Yue Zuoguang successively presented seven or eight similar comparisons together.
A buzzing noise gradually filled the small auditorium, with a tendency to get louder.
Seeing many students casting skeptical gazes at Lin Jie, Yue Zuoguang displayed a victorious smile and loudly proclaid: "All present are students of dicine; you surely understand that cardiac defects are masterpieces of nature."
"Just as there are no two identical leaves, there are no two identical cardiac defect patients. But why is it that in Expert Lin's book, the examples illustrated for cardiac defect symptoms are not too different from the descriptions in my monograph?"
"Expert Lin, please give a reasonable explanation in front of your admiring students!!"
Lin Jie shook his head gently, unable to resist...
Laughed!
He walked to the center of the podium and looked at Yue Zuoguang, saying: "If you had only provided one comparison, it would indeed be difficult for to give you an explanation. But since you've presented so many comparable sections, I can actually give you a quite justifiable explanation now."
"Let ask first, Professor Yue, you ntioned you worked as an exchange scholar at the Mayo Clinic for a year."
Yue Zuoguang proudly said, "Of course, it's a very comndable part of my resu. I am neither hiding nor exaggerating it; this is sothing that truly happened."
Lin Jie responded with a slight "Oh" and asked, "That's good, then. Do you know Joanne Kelly from the cardiothoracic surgery departnt at the Mayo Clinic?"
Upon hearing this na, Yue Zuoguang's expression changed.
He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and calmly said, "Of course I know Joanne Kelly, the chief doctor of the Cardiac Surgery Departnt at the Mayo Clinic. She's an Asian who I deeply respect as a doctor."
"Unfortunately, heaven is jealous of outstanding people!"
With a regretful face, Yue Zuoguang said, "If she hadn't died in a traffic accident, she would definitely have beco one of the world's best cardiac surgeons."
"Expert Lin, what is your intention in suddenly bringing her up?"
Yue Zuoguang demanded harshly, "Please don't mislead or evade. Directly respond to my question."
Seeing him still putting up a stubborn resistance, Lin Jie sneered and said, "Bringing up Doctor Joanne Kelly is closely related to the explanation you seek."
"If you thoroughly read the heart volu, you'll find toward the end a fairly detailed review of Ms. Joanne Kelly's dical research."
"Professor Yue, my understanding of Ms. Joanne Kelly goes far beyond yours."
"I can confidently say that it's not just a superficial understanding."
Lin Jie said coldly, "I even know that over six years ago, Ms. Joanne Kelly held a lecture covering various anatomical structures and solutions for heart defects."
Upon hearing this, the color drained from Yue Zuoguang's face.
He involuntarily took a step back, distancing himself from Lin Jie.
Lin Jie continued, "At that ti, there were not only around seventy or eighty but at least fifty or sixty dical personnel present for that lecture."
"Professor Yue, guess, could I contact one or several of them to authenticate whether your book, 'Anatomy of Congenital Heart Defects,' bears any resemblance to Ms. Joanne Kelly's lecture?"
"You... you..."
Yue Zuoguang pointed at Lin Jie, stamring for a mont, and then suddenly said indignantly, "You are on the rise now, with a status and position far higher than mine, of course, you can contact many people to attest falsely on your behalf."
"I... I can't afford to provoke you, but I... can avoid you..."
After saying this, Yue Zuoguang hastily packed up his laptop and books and angrily left the small auditorium.
After a mont of silence, the small auditorium erupted with loud laughter and ridicule...
As such a petty man retreated, Lin Jie's face remained calm, but he began to communicate in his mind with Shen Lanruo.
"Sister Lanruo, I never expected a hypocrite who plagiarized your lecture content to confront ."
"This also brought to my attention a concern. As my fa rises, I might encounter people familiar with you, or even your colleagues, head-on."
Lin Jie asked with so concern, "Sister Lanruo, do you think they might deduce anything from my surgical skills, treatnt plans..."
He then rembered sothing and regretted his previous showiness, stating, "And that prescription handwriting inherited from you, when these aspects connect, could they figure sothing out?"
After a mont of silence, Shen Lanruo's gentle voice echoed, "Your surgical skills and style, though largely inherited from , also incorporate characteristics and strengths of Dr. Siselda, Dr. Klan, and Dr. Dadof."
"In the past six months, the surgeries you've perford, while not nurous, aren't scarce."
"These surgical techniques from different individuals have gradually rged within you. Especially in the recent few surgeries, I've noticed your growing proficiency in employing surgical skills, and the transitions of various surgical styles have beco smoother and more effortless. To an exaggerated extent, you could be considered a style of your own."
"As for the prescription handwriting..."
Shen Lanruo snorted lightly, "Even a master copyist, without great effort, would only manage a similar semblance. With your poor writing foundation, your handwriting only resembles mine about forty to fifty percent."
"Considering the above, you need not worry about others deducing anything."
"Most importantly, do you think anyone would even believe such a thing? Would anyone even consider this possibility?"
Indeed, that is the case.
This is an absolutely blank area. No one would even think to make such an association.
Feeling assured, Lin Jie faced the still noisy small auditorium and couldn't help but cough forcefully a few tis.
The auditorium quickly quieted down, and Lin Jie looked at the nurous students and softly said, "The clean can't be muddied, and the muddy can't be cleaned; let's not discuss it anymore."
"Now, let's begin the class..."
