Code of Ethics is to check malpractices and plagiarism in research
Objective:
To create awareness among faculty and students about conduct of research, promotion of academic integrity, prevention of malpractices and plagiarism in research at higher education institutions.
To develop a system to detect and prevent plagiarism in research publications, books and book chapters of faculty and dissertation/thesis of PG students.
Procedure:
The following procedure is adopted by the college to check plagiarism in the thesis / dissertation / publication of research papers/chapters in books / full-fledged books and any other similar.
- The research papers of the faculty/ student
before sending to any journal or conference, it is run through anti-plagiarism software
for checking the similarity index.
- Levels of Plagiarism would be quantified into
following levels in ascending order of severity:
| Level | Similarity Range | Action |
| Level 0 | Up to 10% | Accept |
| Level 1 | Between 10% > 30% | Permissible |
| Level 2 | Between 30% > 60% | Resubmit |
| Level 3 | Above 60% | Reject |
- A centralized facility for research publication check is established by Incubation
and quality assurance cell [IQAC] of our Institute. The IQAC cell will check
the publications by Faculty/students to ensure that the research paper similarity index is below 30%.
- If the similarity index
(threshold acceptable authenticity) is less than 30%, then the clearance will be given to
the paper for publication.
