One of the reasons: Neither Agricultural Institute Krizevci,

nor its Dean Dr. Mirko Gagro are in possesion

of any germplasm collection! Why then laying?

Many people don't seem to understand that honesty is the best policy in science. From breaking ethic codes, to violation of human rights is but one step!

CONTINUE

The allocation of credit can also become an issue in the listing of authors' names.

By misusing a Dean's authority and power Dr. Gagro forced his professor of chemistry to put him as
co-author on scientific paper in mathematical chemistry, to which he, as crop production specialist,
is completely unfamiliar and without any contribution:.

Jurić, A., M. Gagro, Sonja Nikolić, N. Trinajstić:
Molecular topological index: An application in the QSAR study of toxicity of alcohols.
Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, (1991) 11:179-186.

CONTINUE

.In 1997. a book ("Farm Crop Production - Cereal and Legumes" - translated title) of Dr. Mirko Gagro was published. In Preface, to stress his merit the author wrote : "In Croatia, during last 50 years there was no book printed about crop production on Croatian language." (?)

VRONG!

Just to mention only the late professors from his institutions (Higher Agricultural School Krizevci), whose books were printed in several release untill now:

1. Klobučar, Gračan, Todorić. (1983, 1989.) Opće ratarstvo (Osnove biljne proizvodnje), Školska knjiga, Zagreb
2. Gračan, Todorić. (1990.) Specijalno ratarstvo, Školska knjiga, Zagreb

Beside, there is written as follows: "There were books from related fields printed in other republics (probably of former Yugoslavia), written on foreign languages, old, and not adapted to Croatian environment . ."

However, the book of Dr. M. Gagro in majority is

in short way narrated or translated Serbian book "Posebno

ratarstvo 1

written by

group of authors, and published in Belgrade, 1986. Translations of some chapters is so true, that even professional mistakes published in the original book are not corrected. However, Dr. Gagro had not obligation to cite original book in references' list!

The book of Dr.Gagro is well illustrated, but with a photographs of different origins, beside others also from mentioned original book printed 1986 in Belgrade, without quoting the sources, or authors. We wonder, do he know what is Copyright! In the mentioned book there are no one original photograph, picture or graph.

That life style of Dr. Gagro is fraud we already proved. He is very successful in this - he succeeds to defraud beside

others

Senate of Zagreb University, The Board for Scientific and Educational Literature.

But, if the original book is well known before -

why the recension was positive?

That is not clear.

It is easy to find excuses to do nothing, but someone who has witnessed misconduct has unmistakable obligation to act. For more about it see: Responding to Violations of Ethical Standards. Professions that do not keep themselves ethical and credible lose their autonomy. See also: Do scientist need a professional code of ethic?

CONTINUE

According to article under the title: "DEAN IVAN GOTIC WAS STILING SCIENTIFIC PAPERS" published in Croatian weekly magazine NACIONAL (July 16, 1997), beside others Dr. Gotic as author published several projects in magazine "GRADJEVINAR". In facts, the published projects were stolen by his son, assistant at Geotechnical faculty Varazdin, at that moment on postgraduate study at Austrian Institute for Geotechnical Research - ARSENAL, and sent to his father in Varazdin. Before publishing, Dr. Gotic even did not change the titles of the stolen projects. The only change was in location (Gradinger in Austria become Turcin near Varazdin).

According to the same article, in 1993. Dr. Gotic enclosed scientific works of Dr. Gazarek to his application for collaborator of Academy of technical sciences.

And what happens? Instead of punishment for his plagiarism, he has got a honour for distinguished achievement of invention. (?!) Is it possible?

The Union of scientific workers express objection in an open letter to the president of R. Croatia - Dr. Franjo Tudman.

Who else is also honoured for incorrect behaviour regarding civil rights violation of professors at Zagreb University?
