Respected forum members, Three days back i came across a blog site called Plagiarised (http://onlineclone.blogspot.com/) which is exploring papers with plagiarized text. I know by seeing the blog posts (if there name is there) professionals will be offended and some one like me (!) will fear of being explore in the days to come. But the real thing is that such type is initiative is really needed and we should join hand to achieve this kind of end. After all what is the importance of publishing a seminar or conference volume if maximum of its articles are derivatives of some kind of earlier publication (plagiarized text), and what is the importance of organizing that seminar itself. I personally not in an assumption, but we all know sufficient prove to justify our comments. So what should be done actually to avoid information pollution.
