All the Swiss media reports on #RECEPTIOgate mention the ongoing plagiarism scandal at the University of St. Gallen and discuss the role of the institutions. Clearly, for us in Switzerland, this is not just about the plagiarism.
What are they suggesting the role of institutions is? (I'd guess pressure to publish and review, but thought I'd just ask.)
@klaegermann @vcaston Exactly. However, I’ve only seen Raphael Rauch directly raise the issue of “publish or perish” https://www.kath.ch/newsd/carla-rossis-fake-institut-wirbt-mit-alibi-bibliothek-und-drogenanwalt/
@klaegermann @vcaston The comparison with the Catholic church is quite fitting ;-)
@true_mxp @vcaston to be fair, #Hsg St. Gallen has had its fair share of institutional failures this year with two previous scandals over the recent time (corruption; throwing out a graduate student over his research on China)
