The Unstable Scientifical Weather Within The Romanian Space. A Central Turbulent Factor - Plagiarism

The present paper appeared in a turbulent social context in which the Romanian scientific universe is shaken by scandals built on the background and on the form of the so-called plagiarism practice. Of course, by its nature and extent, this work does not aim to deal exhaustively with the given theme, but induces, instead, a holistic approach on the subject regarding the emergence and expansion of plagiarism, as well as of the concepts and practices deriving from it. Thus, this text is constituted, first of all, on the issues that, historically, have favored the scientific and technological progress and which have also fueled the intensity of plagiarism, and, in a second stage, on the background of the socio-economic comfort that the Romanian legislation and regulations (in the field of scientific research, education or copyright) are trying to offer to the original researchers. Among other objectives pursued in this paper, is remarked our desire to highlight some of the legislative aspects that constitute important barriers in the "indoctrination" of plagiarism within the Romanian scientific space.
