Seventh International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2025) Physical/Virtual October 02=04, 2026 Bali, Indonesia Universitas Islam Negari Sunan Kalijaga, Indonesia Sessions will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, Bali. https://www.socio.org.uk/stm Co-located with Springer Real-Time Intelligent Systems (https://www.socio.org.uk/rtis) Building metrics is key to measuring science and technology and translating those measures to improve outcomes. The metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analysing. Selecting a metric depends on synthesising multiple directions and evidence-based data, producing scientific and technological evaluation benchmarks and standards, and implementing them with real data to mark a full-fledged system. Recently, we have witnessed the emergence of new metrics-based models that aim to reflect the growth of science and technology. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2026) conference addresses assessing various aspects of science and technology using multiple metrics, which can be best expressed through different approaches. In addition to the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host several workshops and tutorials related to the conference theme. The workshops provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing the application of metrics in Science and Technology Systems. The tutorials aim to enable participants to familiarise themselves with the theoretical and practical aspects, as well as the application of metrics. The proposed conference includes invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet addresses the themes below, but is not limited to them. The proposed conference includes invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions.

The review process will enable selecting those who will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered for the conference can access the evaluations and feedback from reviewers who recommended acceptance, so they can improve the final version. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors from developing countries. Please note that all submitted papers undergo review and editing by senior editors. We will handle content enhancement and language editing. There is no fee for editing and language correction services. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Performance Measurement and Metrics 3. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 4. Open Information Science (more journals under negotiation) There is no further publication fee for the above journals. The STMet 2026 has many co-located workshops. Proceedings We publish the papers after restructuring and editing are complete. All the past conference papers are indexed in Google Scholar. The past STM proceedings are available with ISBN and DOI at https://dline.info/newl/STMProceedings Important Dates Submission of Papers: July 20, 2026 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: August 15, 2026 Camera-ready: September 15, 2026 Registration: September 15, 2026 Conference Dates: October 02-04, 2026 General Chairs Grant Lewison, King’s College, UK Valentina Markusova, The All-Russian Institute for Scientific and Technical Information, Russia Organization Chairs Nurdin Laugu, Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Indonesia Erwin Halim, Bina Nusantara University - Indonesia Program Chairs Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Labs, India & UK Irvan Muliyadi, Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta.

DRTC Colloquium 3 (2025-2027) Title: Plagiarism: The Plague in Academia
by Debanjali Bain 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560059 Colloquium-3 (2025-2027) Title - Plagiarism: The Plague in Academia Abstract: Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic integrity that involves presenting another person’s work, ideas, or language as one’s own without proper acknowledgment. Over time, plagiarism has evolved from direct copying in traditional academia to more complex forms in the digital age, including patchwork and self-plagiarism. The emergence of AI-generated content has further challenged conventional notions of originality and authorship. Since authorship requires accountability, intention, and ethical responsibility, AI cannot be considered an author. Academic institutions and publishers have responded through stricter editorial policies, plagiarism detection systems, and guidelines for responsible AI use. This presentation also outlines ethical practices to avoid plagiarism and highlights UGC regulations in India, including similarity thresholds and penalties, emphasizing the need for transparency and responsible scholarship. Topics and Speakers : *Sub-Topics* *Speaker* Introduction Madhu M Plagiarism - Evolution and Types Fathima Nasreen AI-Giarism Rakendu S Rules and Regulations Greeshma K S Best Practices to Avoid Plagiarism Rasheedha Sulthana Conclusion Anamika Venugopal K Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: *03**/03/2026 * *Time: 03:30 pm* Venue: DRTC Classroom (G-16), ISI Bangalore
