The Center for Civic Education (CCE) submitted today to the Ethics Committee of the University of Montenegro (UCG) a proposal to establish a violation of academic integrity by professor at the Faculty of Philosophy Aleksandar Stamatović.
CCE said that Stamatović published an identical scientific article in two different journals indexed in the Web of Science scientific database.
"By doing so, he violated the clear rules of the academic community and international scientific ethics, as well as the Code of Ethics of the University of Montenegro," CCE stated.
As they explained, Web of Science explicitly prohibits duplication of scientific papers.
"Which means that this action not only violated the Code of Ethics, but also damaged the reputation of the University of Montenegro and caused damage to the scientific community of Montenegro, which will be under the special attention of reference scientific databases, such as Web of Science, which is a key criterion for the progress of researchers from Montenegrin universities," the statement added.
