The professor is uniquely accused of plagiarism – 231 pages out of 374, suggest not to be a “doctor”

  • The Commission’s investigation has been completed in Academic Ethics of the Ministry of Education and Science
  • “24 Hours” described the story of Venelin Terziev – prosecuted and investigated by 6 universities, the most titled lecturer in our country, versatile in 5 sciences in just 4 years

Professor and university lecturer V. K. T. received two scientific titles with plagiarism. This was established by inspections of the Commission on Academic Ethics (KAE) at the Ministry of Education and Science. VT has been publicly known for several years due to his unusually high activity in various fields of science.

A month ago, “24 Hours” described the story of “a unique professor – persecuted, investigated by 6 universities, a world record holder in scientific works.” We are talking about Prof. Venelin Krastev Terziev. We wrote that the ethics commission at the Ministry of Education and Science is investigating his scientific works. “24 Hours” called Prof. Terziev on his mobile phone, but he was turned off.

The Ministry of Education and Science also announced that copyright infringement was found in VT’s dissertations for obtaining the scientific degrees “Doctor” and “Doctor of Science” in the professional field “Economics”. In the first case, a high degree of plagiarism was found in a scientific paper on the topic “Impact of active policies and programs on the labor market”, defended at Varna Free University “Chernorizets Hrabar” in 2014. Out of a total of 296 pages, 65 were plagiarized, or 22.2% of the dissertation. Among the violations identified are incorrect citations, exposure of data of unspecified origin,

(What they comment on from the university see below.)

The second inspection revealed plagiarism in obtaining the scientific degree “Doctor of Science” in 2015. With the dissertation “Challenges to social programming in the context of promoting social activity and regulating social development through active policies” V. T. becomes the so-called great doctor in the field of “Economics” in Dimitar A. Tsenov Academy of Economics in Svishtov. 231 pages out of a total of 374 were plagiarized, which is 61.8% of the scientific work. Again, there are inaccurate and misleading citations. The report states that there are no data sources in the tables and figures and that publications are used that have nothing to do with the thesis thesis.

The dissertation has a high degree of plagiarism, states KAE.

The universities in which the dissertations have been defended have been notified of the decisions, so that they can take action to revoke the relevant scientific degree.

The Academic Ethics Commission has completed another review of the professor’s dissertation. Labor is protected at the National Military University “Vasil Levski” in 2014 and is on “Models of increasing the effectiveness of the system of social adaptation of servicemen released from military service in a dynamic social environment.” With him, VT became a “doctor of science” in the field of “National Security”. His publications on holding the academic position of “professor” in the same field at the NBU were also checked. In these two cases, the KAE arbitrators did not find plagiarism.

The commission is also examining VT’s scientific work in the field of “Social Activities”, but the work on it has not been completed yet, the Ministry of Education and Science explained.

“This is the first step, which is very important,” said Gen. Ivan Malamov from the Vasil Levski National High School. Next week they will submit a signal to the Commission on Academic Ethics for a high degree of plagiarism and in Terziev’s dissertation in the field of “National Security”, as 47% of the work for a “great doctor of economics” was copied by her. And there is already a high degree of plagiarism. The Independent Jury in Economics finds a high degree of plagiarism, and the independent arbitrators in National Security do not see it. Therefore

we will import

re signal,

because we were waiting for the decisions on this inspection “, commented Prof. Stoyko Stoykov from the National University of Life Sciences. The military university will expect results in a shorter time, as the opinion on whether there is plagiarism in the doctoral studies of the former caretaker Minister Daniela Vezieva under the scientific guidance of Terziev should be published at the end of the month.

“The results of the MES inspection in the commented case will be reviewed by us on the merits when they are officially received.

Then all the necessary actions required by the Academic Staff Development Act, the Higher Education Act and our internal regulations will be taken. ” This is the comment of Dimitar A. Tsenov Academy of Economics.

Corresponding Member, Prof., Doctor of Economics Ph.D., Ph.D., Ph.D., Eng. Venelin Krastev Terziev. Even with the cuts, the 52-year-old man’s academic degrees and academic positions are longer than his three names, 24 Chasa wrote. The most titled scientist and lecturer in our country, and according to his colleagues – and all over the world, has produced tens of thousands of pages,

to put the titles before

your name

And all this in less than 4 years. This makes it unique in history and puts it (at least on paper) higher than the greatest minds with scientific achievements that have changed the world.

24 Chasa sought an answer to the question of how the education system in Bulgaria has set this precedent. While teaching students and growing in the hierarchy of the scientific ladder, Venelin Terziev began teaching doctoral students, many of whom are not accidental and are associated with power. No matter which one. He also develops private business, and among the clients of the companies he manages are educational institutions. And last but not least, Venelin Terziev has survived as director of the state company “Restoration” EAD in 4 governments since 2018.

The biggest curiosity in the career of Venelin Terziev is the fact that he is proud of three scientific degrees “Doctor” in diametrically different areas. He is a professor at several universities, but one after another the universities refuse the services of the genius scientist or he leaves on his own: Angel Kanchev University of Ruse, Vasil Levski National Military University in Veliko Tarnovo, the Military Academy in Sofia, the Higher School of telecommunications and post (VUTP). In the last Terziev became a professor in 2017.

In fact, the scientific community has long been talking about Ostapbenders in it and warning of the danger of it.

Varna Free University:

We will do our own

study if necessary

The VFU “Chernorizets Hrabar” has not received information from the Ministry of Education and Science about the result of the inspection of the case. The University is not a party to these proceedings and should not be, as VFU “Chernorizets Hrabar” is not the competent university according to the requirements of Art. 35, para. 2, in connection with para. 1, item 1 of the Higher Education Act – to carry out the procedure for revoking the educational and scientific degree “Doctor” of VT.

The said person does not hold an academic position at VFU “Chernorizets Hrabar”. He did not defend the degree of “Doctor of Science” at VFU “Chernorizets Hrabar”.

During the defense of the educational and scientific degree “Doctor” of VT in 2014, no data on plagiarism were found.

VFU “Chernorizets Hrabar” will conduct its own inspection in case of need.
