Code of Ethics to check malpractices and plagiarism in Research

Ethics in Research and plagiarism are the most important aspects in research and publication. Many a times a research of someone else is claimed by someone else. Students have an inclination to copy others projects as it is available online or in a library. The research guides alloted by the institute sensitize students on ethics in research and on plagiarism. so that they can submit it easily and not work hard.

Plagiarism Although the general consensus is that plagiarism is a bad
idea, it can be difficult to avoid it or discuss it if we have different
understandings of the definition:
a) To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own;
b) To use (another’s production) without crediting the source;
c) To commit literary theft;
d) To present as new and original an idea or product derived from an
existing source.

Plagiarism could be of two types:
a) Negligent OR unintentional plagiarism: It means innocently or
carelessly presenting another person’s work as one’s own without
acknowledging the Source.
b) Dishonest OR intentional plagiarism: It means knowingly and
deliberately presenting another person’s work as one’s own work
without acknowledging the Source.

Avoiding Plagiarism
Plagiarism could be avoided by paraphrasing, citing, quoting and
referencing the original work.
There are five basic rules regarding the use of information in
professional and academic writing:
1. If you use the language of your source, you must quote it exactly,
enclose it in quotation marks, and cite the source.
2. If you use ideas or information that is not common knowledge, you
must cite the source.
3. If you didn’t invent it, cite the source.
4. Unless your professor explicitly tells you to paraphrase, don’t
paraphrase.
5. When in doubt, cite the source. Doing so can only enhance your
readers sense of your honesty
