♠ 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.
