Bay project report plagiarizer punished
    2020-06-08  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE South China Sea Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had been demerited 15 credibility points and fined 3.2 million yuan (US$451,926) for plagiarism in the environmental impact assessment report on a dredging project of Shenzhen Bay, Southcn.com reported Saturday.


The report compiler and team leader, surnamed Xu, with the institute was demerited 20 points in credibility, according to a recently released administrative punishment order issued by Shenzhen Municipal Ecology Environment Bureau.


In the environmental impact assessment report, the institute used an assessment report about Zhanjiang Port as a template. When released on the official website of Shenzhen Municipal Transport Bureau for public feedback in March this year, the report had kept “Zhanjiang” in the text unchanged.


The errors drew wide criticism from netizens who suspected the report was plagiarized from a report on Zhanjiang Port which detailed the 2018 renovation of a navigation route for 300,000 tons of vessels at the other Guangdong port.


In the punishment order, the environment bureau confirmed the plagiarism and that some data in the report was falsified. The institute was held liable for failing to monitor and control the quality of the report, as well as failing to establish complete files for the formation of the report. The institute apologized to the public after the incident.


Shenzhen demanded the China Communication Planning and Design Institute for Water Transportation, the general contractor, to terminate the contract with the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Shenzhen Navigation Route Affairs Center, the contract-issuing party of the Shenzhen Bay dredging project, reported it to environment authority and apologized to the public for the problems found in the assessment report.
