            Up until now, the investigation into alleged plagiarism has utilised, amongst other means,

            which compared the thesis with the contents of websites, electronic sources, archives and 
            scientific and other tests in digital form and with no regional or language restrictions. 
            by the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University (FSV UK) in the detection of plagi

            languages, including German. The sole restriction on the tool is that materials be publish
            in electronic form.

            For this reason, the initial investigation will now be followed up by an analysis of the p
            the publication Wahlanalyse und Wahlprognose 2002. Die Bundestagswahl im Unterricht, the t
            alleged to have been copied by Andreas Scheuer without stating the source.

            Charles University has therefore requested a copy of this publication from the National Ar
            receive it within a few days.
            Charles University received an official request from Mr. Andreas Scheuer in late afternoon

            (Tuesday 21 January) for an investigation of alleged plagiarism in his rigorosum thesis.
