Summary/Abstract: The object of analysis has to do with the following: the essence, the kinds, the functions and the consequences of methodological errors which are committed by scholars who prepare their doctoral or postdoctoral dissertations. Errors may be committed and one may learn from them by drawing appropriate conclusions for the future but one may not fail to realise that such errors are committed due to the lack of work on one’s part, failure to develop one’s own research expertise. Some scholars commit errors purposefully, hoping that the latter might be undetected. The article presents the errors which are committed most frequently in scholarly publications or dissertations written with a view to acquire a scholarly degree, which were revealed in the content of the reviews of such works. The analysis is of a qualitative nature whose purpose is to sensitize young researchers so that in the future they will not experience failures or disappointment due to the evaluation of their creative work.
