Authors : Uttam Kumar, Shiva Kanaujia Sukula & Dr. Manoj Kumar
Many of us can think alike but can’t compose alike. The act of stealing others’ writings and claiming them as their own is plagiarism. Plagiarism is a horrendous act of intellectual misconduct as it involves academic larceny.
With the advent of e-publication the “copy and paste” culture spread like a plague across the globe due to the ease of accessibility and reproduction, and India is no exception. The issues of plagiarism and similarity have been responsible for the struggle of research publications. The efforts in various nations from time to time have paved the way for improving the areas of research writing and plagiarism detection. The present study is an endeavor to understand the level of awareness among Indian scholars about plagiarism and related rules and regulations, and to encourage its practices among the faculties and students across different disciplines and spaces. This research will educate the aspiring academicians and researchers about the rationale for engaging in plagiarism. More so, it will also motivate the readers to produce academic writings with utmost honesty and integrity.
