There's nothing much to criticize about that line; Qian Yuhai quickly switched to the next screenshot.
"Perhaps I should thank Sumant for using Facebook to promote the achievents my research group has just made. But if you have any doubts about the originality of this paper, you should use a plagiarism checker to provide more perfect evidence. That's what respectable people should do, rather than spouting nonsense on Facebook like so riddle master.
Of course, I can understand, after all, when your ancestors left the British Isles, they took everything they needed with them, leaving behind only the most basic manners and their forefathers' aristocratic spirit... Oh, my apologies, I was wrong, I almost forgot that there were apparently no aristocrats among those who immigrated to Arica in that era."
"This shows that Ackerman is feeling guilty; he seems to be trying to change the subject," Zhang Hongcai suddenly interjected with a comnt.
After all, this is a eting of Huaxia's top math professors, all possessing maximum logical analysis capabilities.
"A little, yes. Lu, weren't you just reading the papers? Did you go through both of them? Are there really particularly similar parts?"
Lu Changzheng shook his head and said, "I'm still studying Qiao Ze's paper; I've only read half of it. Ackerman's team's paper is downloaded but has been sitting to one side. I haven't had the chance to look at it yet. Do you want to bring it up now?"
"No, that won't be necessary. I haven't read both in depth, but I have skimd through both papers, and the general impression is that the similarity between the two papers isn't that high. After all, Qiao Ze's paper leans more towards solving theoretical problems.
However, there is a section in Ackerman's paper, concerning the mathematical proof process when solving a specific Data Partition trajectory problem, which does resemble the proof that Qiao Ze's paper has for a similar problem. That problem indeed requires a specific Data Partition to define the corresponding structure; it can't be bypassed," Qian Yuhai said with a shrug.
"Then that's unreasonable. Even if this process can't be bypassed, that shouldn't involve plagiarism, right? Even if one really needs to reference this proof process, wouldn't a direct citation suffice? Are the Germans so ticulous that they wouldn't even want to give a citation? That doesn't make sense," Zhang Hongcai said with suspicion.
The group exchanged looks, all feeling quite confused.
It was indeed difficult to understand.
After all, if the academics' IQs are in place and it's clear that the two papers are different, with only a slight overlap, wouldn't it be silly to choose to plagiarize?
Could they have forgotten the citation rules that have been passed down in academic publishing for hundreds of years?
But if there was no plagiarism, why would Sumant be so aggressive?
And why would Ackerman seem a bit guilty?
Indeed, at that mont, several of Huaxia's smartest brains in the conference room were sowhat dizzy with this problem.
What kind of divine maneuver was this?
Just as Qian Yuhai was pondering and fiddling with his computer, he suddenly exclaid, "Eh? Sumant has a new response, everyone, take a look."
Well, whether or not it made sense, they were too lazy to think about it; at this ti, it was most important to enjoy the drama.
All eyes turned to the big screen at that mont.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Because Carl, the editor-in-chief from `Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' at New York University's Courant Institute, just called . He hopes I can resolve this dispute in what he calls a 'gentlemanly way'. Obviously, they are scared, scared that I truly have evidence to prove Ackerman Konietz's plagiarism!"
"After all, as accomplices, the editors of `Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' also can't shirk their responsibility. They have even put a new spin on the traditional journals' double-blind peer-review system they have always embraced. This is precisely why I must speak out here!
Perhaps these unprofessional actions are what allow so people to run rampant, and also the reason why our basic mathematics theory has stagnated!"
...
Goodness!
A few people in the conference room really wanted to cry out loud in astonishnt!
What was thought to be just a battle of words between two top scholars now seed to involve the world's top math journals.
Sumant Jair really seed to have gone mad, right?
If they said this professor didn't have solid evidence in his hands, the professors at Yanbei University were not inclined to believe it!
After all, if he can't produce evidence in the end, Su might truly be banned by the entire math community!
No way?
Just for a short proof process in a Huaxia paper, Sumant is this desperate?
Is it really necessary to go this far?!
...
"Got the sunflower seeds and peanuts... it nearly killed , hey, what's with all these expressions? Did I miss sothing exciting?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just serve them up. Actually, you arrived just in ti, let tell you, you can catch Sumant swinging his axe like mad! The excitent level has just maxed out!"
"Sounds good, let see… Oh… This is a total face-off! Sumant Jair is going to strike `Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' too?"
"Qian, hurry up, check the comnts, the comnts!"
"Right away!"
As Qian Yuhai opened Sumant Jair's comnt section, the top spot was claid by Joe Berner, the editor-in-chief of the `Duke Mathematical Journal'.
"Sumant, don't be so agitated, `Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' is recognized by the academic community as an extrely excellent mathematics journal, second only to the top four! The journal's editors are also universally recognized as professionals. Without concrete evidence, you shouldn't tarnish their century-old reputation!"
Hmm...
That's a very rational comnt.
If it wasn't for the fact that it's only seven o'clock in the morning, way before work hours in the United States, everyone might really believe that this guy is trying to diate!
