In India more and more
professionals, specially students of mainly UG and PG level are interested in
publishing review or research article in their name either due to personal
interest or by pressure from the institutional guide.This situation of increasing
awareness of publishing the original work is definitely a great boon to Indian
research scenario, but the underlying fraud of doing plagiarism is lowering the
worthiness of Indian research work, we are losing our credibility and the same
can be seen in the increasing cases of rejected articles from Indian authors
who conducted research work in less known institutes in India.
Its not
only students that are responsible for this fraud work, but also the
faculty,university, journals editors and reviewers,publishers etc. all in some
way a part of this.
we surely need to have some concrete measures taken to stop this cheating process.The irnoy is that most of the persons doing this dont even have any knowledge that its not a good practice. Indian Universities and regulatory bodies concerning this should take plagiarism seriously.Awareness should be generated among the students as they mostly dont even know what they are doing.
