摘要

學術倫理規範研究者投稿論文時，須引用且說明已發表之相關作品。本文透過實際案例闡述，研究者未揭露已發表相似著作之行為，將危及刊登期刊之聲譽。隱匿行為誤導期刊編輯、評審與讀者對於作品的原創性判斷。當讀者在事後同時閱讀二篇相似作品時，也產生理解之困擾，因為新作往往摻雜與舊作相似，卻微幅不一致的內容，甚至延續舊作的錯誤。本文直接、犀利地揭露這種爭議的論文寫作文化，希冀挽救臺灣的國際學術聲譽。具體、公開、負責任的指控與分析學術寫作爭議行為，將有效的提升臺灣的學術倫理文化。

並列摘要

Academic ethics stipulates that authors cite and review their related previous works when submitting a new paper. This article explicates this principle by demonstrating how the authors of a paper published in this journal failed to cite their previous work, thereby jeopardizing the reputation of this journal. Hiding information of previous work leads the editors, reviewers, and readers to misjudge the originality of a paper. When readers attempt to interpret both the older and newer papers, they may become confused, as newer papers are usually dotted with minor inconsistencies, even retaining the mistakes of the old papers. We straightforwardly highlight such misconduct in the hope of recovering Taiwan's academic reputation. Such an explicit, public and responsible accusation and analysis of academic misconduct will effectively and efficiently enhance academic ethics.
