Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica is investigating suspected breaches of academic integrity in connection with a scientific paper by lecturers of the Faculty of Law. The case also involves Jaroslav Klátik and Vice-Dean Jozef Michalko, who resigned from his position after the matter was reported in the media. aktuality.sk ↗
According to findings described in connection with the publication, the article was said to cite works whose authorship is unclear. One of the authors contacted stated that his publications were cited in the text even though he had never written them. Conversely, compendiums that he had actually created were not included in the list of references. dennikn.sk ↗
Further suspicions concern claims that the lecturers presented a student's work as their own. However, the available information does not point to a final conclusion as to whether the rules of academic ethics or research integrity were violated. tnlive.sk (Markíza) ↗
The rector of UMB does not want to prejudge the outcome of the case. The university has distanced itself from any form of plagiarism and unethical academic conduct by its employees. The case is to be reviewed by the UMB Ethics Commission, and the circumstances are also being examined by the Ministry of Education. teraz.sk ↗
In response, the Minister of Education stated that people training future lawyers should be expected to meet the highest standard of professional and academic ethics. Further steps will depend on the results of the review and the assessment of the submitted materials.
