Plagiarism, Copyright, Publishers and Authors
by Anil Singh 09 Apr '14

Dear friends, Plagiarism is a burning topic in LIS community now-a-days. Many workshops, seminars have been organized on copyright laws and plagiarism. Everybody knows that plagiarism is unethical, but in-spite of that nothing has changed. Authors and Publishers both are still involved in this practice. On this forum, I would like to draw kind attention of all the readers on two instances of Plagiarism. My one paper "Design and Development of a Himalayan Studies Information System for India: A Proposed Model" was published in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES, Vol. 24, No. 1 (2005). This journal is being published by Library and Information Technology Association (LITA),- a division of the American Library Association (ALA). The same full paper was published as one of the chapters of the book entitled "Forests of Himalaya" by Anuraj Diwedi in 2009. This book was published by CYBER TECH PUBLICATIONS, Darya Ganj, New Delhi. Author has not given citation of my paper. Like this publisher, many publishers in India have emerged in recent years which prepare the books by cut and paste technique. In such type of books there will be no affiliation of the author. These publishers give the author's bio-data like.... Mr. Anuraj Diwedi is a seasoned teacher over three decades........he has been honoured by various scientific organizations.....A prolific writer, he has many outstanding books....etc. The other example is of one of my paper "Career in Library and Information Science" which was published in the August 2008 issue of Employment News - which is one of the most widely circulated newspapers of India. From this article, much of the portion was copied by two faculty members and one senior LIS professionals and none of them cited this paper. Now the two important questions are: 1. Is it possible that these publishers, authors, LIS professionals or teachers are unaware of copyright laws and plagiarism? 2. What is the responsibility of ISBN awarding agency, who awarded ISBN without checking the author's affiliations. Plagiarism is rising day by day in education system. We have seen many prominent persons in the field of education who have been caught in this act. The 'copy/cut and paste' tendency has increased the plagiarism. Rather than organizing seminars, workshops or training on IT tools like Turnitin, we should focus on teaching value education and ethics to authors, publishers and teachers. Feedback and comments are welcome. -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

As a prelude to the forthcoming international conference, the National Organizing Committee (NOC) is organizing a series of seminars/workshops across the country. Experts in different areas are being invited to share their views on the core issues related to data science. These meetings will deliberate on as to how this field can play an important role in strengthening quality research landscape and the scientific research productivity of the nation. *One of the pre-SciDataCon 2014 event *is being organized on the theme* "**Open Data in Education & Research"* on 19 April 2014 at INSA, New Delhi.

Open Access Library
by Sandeep Bhavsar 07 Apr '14

Respected All http://www.oalib.com/ Open Access Library (www.oalib.com) is an academic search engine and publisher. You can download research papers for free and submit your paper to it. It is a shared academic database. It is a handy tool which helps researchers performing their research and helps students with their studies. In the past researchers had to spend a lot of money on purchasing papers. Google Scholar changed this situation a little bit. However most of the papers listed in the search result are not free to access. Open Access Library (OALib) has been changing it. Papers published or indexed by OALib are made freely accessible by scholars all over the world. It helped a lot to the researchers in the developing countries or those who have not enough funding to pay for reading papers. OALib has indexed over 2,000,000 open access papers till now. You can easily find and download papers you need by its advanced searching engine. It also has a very easy flow to submit a paper and make it accessible widely. Thanks to Open Access, research and studies have become easier and more fun. http://www.oalib.com/ -- *Regards * *Sandeep Bhavsar* B.com, M.Lib.I.Sc SET, M.Phil, American Library Association - FERA 2011 fellow Librarian Dr. V N Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane (W) 400601 Mumbai INDIA Mobile : 9987049099 www.vpmthane.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
