Imperativul de a fi diferit
The imperative of being different

Summary/Abstract: The plagiarist often violates the copyright of another person, depending on how the source of the plagiarism is a copyrighted work or not, but never the result of such a fraud can be the object of a copyright or other intellectual property title. The scientific work is identified by the conclusions of the scientific research, its premises, its arguments and explanations (including the ability to synthesize and exemplify), but also through the correlation of all these, together forming the content of the scientific work. A scientific research work can not distinguish itself from the previous ones only from the perspective of its aesthetic characteristics, just as the use of quotation marks and the quoting of earlier research is not sufficient for the recognition of scientific character. The unique aesthetic features of a supposedly scientific work bring it closer to fiction (artistic literature), away from scientific literature, in the absence of any conclusions, prerequisites, arguments, explanations or correlations of its own, different from the state of knowledge. Similarly, the use of quotation marks and citation sources only ensures that we are faced with a reproduction that does not violate the ban on plagiarism, but which does not ensure its membership of the scientific genre. The issue of plagiarism should lead discussions and analyzes of jurists to establish the criteria for belonging to a work of a scientific nature.
