The DSU’s Internal Quality Assurance Cell in association with College of Physiotherapy had organized a workshop on ‘Academic Integrity and Professional Values’ and Prevention of Plagiarism in Higher Education’ in Bangalore on 1st February 2020.
STOP THE MISCONDUCT:
“Misconduct in research must be stopped. Fabrication, Falsification and Plagiarism should be checked with an iron hand. Fake studies and plagiarism are a worry and it is due to the problems and pressure faced by researchers for their career or pressure to publish their articles in standard journals,” Dr.Chandra Janakiram had observed.
Dr.Nagesh Lakshminarayan, Professor and Head, Department of Preventive and Social Dentistry, DSU, Bangalore, focused on co-relating spirituality and the basis of research integrity.
