Topics related to academic (non)integrity in the recent period regularly resonate in the Slovak higher education and political environment. The related discourse condemned the identified errors and resulted in changes in legislation. However, if failures are not to be repeated, the reasons and motivations that enabled them to need to be identified and the rules and procedures in the higher education environment re-evaluated.
During an online academic integrity event, we discussed issues related to the very definition of academic integrity and scientific integrity, the root causes and motivations for failure, ways to ensure that failures do not recur, but also why it depends on where and how do university teachers publish?
The invitation to the discussion was accepted by:
