Quirin Schiermeier, “Nature” journal’s publisher who brought into attention a possible plagiarism carried out by Victor Ponta, spoke up about the international-scale scandal involving the Romanian Prime Minister (see below snapshot of copied share of Ponta’s PhD work).
Quirin Schiermeier, a German correspondent for “Nature”, who wrote science articles focused on Germany, European Union, Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union, told in an interview for Realitatea that early last week, the famous magazine came into the possession of documents incriminating Victor Ponta. However the author did not reveal information about the anonymous source behind the allegations. “We made sure that they [documents] are genuine,” said Schiermeier. Incriminatory documents show that Ponta’s 432-page, Romanian-language thesis on the functioning of the International Criminal Court consists of duplicated text from various works published by Dumitru Diaconu, Vasile Creţu and Ion Diaconu.

Concerning the political side of the possible plagiarism scandal involving Ponta, Schiermeier says that Nature is very little or not interested at all in political disputes that take place in Romania. “The main stake is the quality of the scientific research and compliance of academic standards in Romania,” added the editor.

Adrian Nastase not accused!
According to Schiermeier, Victor Ponta’s doctoral thesis coordinator, Adrian Nastase, is not to be blamed even if it will emerge that the work at the center of the scandal is indeed a clear proof of plagiarism: “The task of a PhD supervisor is just to ensure that certain quality standards are met. However the author is the one who needs to pay atention not to acquire someone else work without citing properly the sources.”
Who decides whether plagiarism or not?
“Despite being reported in the international media, the Romanian academic community is the authority to decide wether Victor Ponta is guilty of plagiarism or not,” added Schiermeier. “The committee to analyze this situation must truly be independent”, the Nature editor pointed out.
