Abstract
The problem of mass plagiarism in scientific publications and qualification research papers is fairly acute in today’s Russia. Incorrect borrowings and plagiarism have extended not only to scientific articles and dissertations, but also to students’ courseworks and graduation research papers and diploma thesis. The author has recently faced with a case of 100% plagiarism of his article published in the Russian journal and in this paper describes the possible practical steps to protect the author’s rights. In addition, the paper analyzes the problems of scientific and publication ethics in the conditions of rapid development of information and communication technologies, estimates factors of the paid publications market development in Russia. The author points to the information asymmetry leading to various forms of manipulation in academic sphere including relations between laypersons and professional plagiarists.
