Description
Summary:Plagiarism in Romania became a controversial issue analyzed by the specialists. Also, the problem became not only a subject for the administrative authority (CNATDCU), but also for the courts of law who were empowered to analyze if doctoral theses were authentic or not, solving therefore plagiarism allegations. Historically speaking, we can discuss about legislation in this field starting with 2004. Could it be considered that doctoral theses defended before 2004 are subject to the application of the respective piece of law? The current study will try to analyze the legal provisions applicable to the withdrawal of the title of doctor and to argue that this text is clearly unconstitutional from our point of view.
