名校黯淡 英国罗素联盟惊传学术造假丑闻

Hundreds of allegations of "fake research" conducted at some of the UK's top universities were reported between 2011 and 2016, figures show.

数据显示，在2011年至2016年期间，一些英国顶级大学报告了数百起学术造假的指控。

According to figures released by 23 of Britain's 24 Russell Group universities, the scale of fraudulent research is much higher than official Research Councils UK statistics suggest.

根据英国罗素集团24所高校中的23所公布的数据，学术造假的情况比官方机构英国研究委员会统计的情况要严重得多。

New figures reveal at least 300 allegations for plagiarism, fabrication, piracy and misconduct, and around a third of them were upheld, while over 30 papers were withdrawn.

新数据揭示了至少300起抄袭、造假、侵权、学术不端指控，其中约1/3被证实，逾30篇论文被撤回。

Official data, however, suggests about 30 cases were reported between 2012 and 2015.

不过官方数据称，2012年至2015年报告的学术造假案件约有30起。

In response, the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee has launched an inquiry to reassure the public that its monitoring system is "robust."

作为回应，下议院科技与学术委员会已展开调查，来向公众保证其监管系统是“正常的”。

Committee Chairman Stephen Metcalfe stressed the importance of reassuring people that public funds are being invested in accurate and trustworthy research.

委员会主席史蒂芬·梅特卡夫强调了安定人心的重要性，并称公共资金是投资在了准确和可信的研究上。
