Summary/Abstract: The following article addresses two reviews of post-doctoral publications, both of which are scandalous on formal and substantive levels. The key elements related to the issue are the same person (professor), acting both as a reviewer in one case, and as a committee chair in the other, along with two dramatically different final decisions concerning both post-doctoral applications.This review seeks to address two articles by Anna Bączkowska and a monograph by Dorota Zielińska-Długosz. Aside from a substantive evaluation, I address the issue of ethical conduct in relation to “Kodeks etyki pracownika naukowego” PAN (Polish Academy of Sciences Scolar’s Ethics Code). The ground of professional ethics is important not only in relation to both authors’ publications, but also to the process of post-doctoral degree procedure.
