With regards HR Mohan =================================================== Computer Society of India, Chennai Chapter IEEE Computer Society, Madras IEEE Professional Communication Society, Madras Announces One Day Workshop on Avoiding the Risks of Plagiarism in Research Publication On Saturday :: 3rd May 2014 :: 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m Registration at 09.30 a.m. At Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai - 600113 This is a part of "CSI at 50 - Celebrating Golden Jubilee" Programme Series. A research publication brings immense credit to the researcher(s), their research supervisor(s) and their institution(s). However, plagiarism that creeps in publications widely now in our context, often unintentionally, presents great risks to them and damage their credibility and reputation. Plagiarism - reusing someone else's work and making it appear as their own without proper citations - is an unacceptable and unethical practice in research and other forms of writing. It may also result in copyright infringement subjecting the author to legal action. Professional institutions such as IEEE blacklist the authors who plagiarise their publications endangering their career. Moreover, it is now easier to detect plagiarism, autonomously. Therefore, it is vital for students, authors and their institutions to take specific measures to avoid plagiarism. The rise of plagiarism in this digital era is primarily due to lack of awareness of what is considered as plagiarism, how it can get into a publication, the risks it presents and methods of avoiding it. This one-day workshop is intended to create the desired awareness among the stakeholder about plagiarism and outline measures to prevent it and, thereby, to help them safeguard from the plagiarism risks. About the Program ============== The workshop comprises of two major sessions. The morning session will present an overview on plagiarism, outlines major issues and risks in plagiarism, and suggest (institutional) measures combat this seemingly growing problem facing researchers, authors, educational institutions and conference organisers. The afternoon session will discuss in detail of how to avoid plagiarism in academic writing - journal and conference publications, thesis and others - while highlighting and acknowledging findings and contributions of other authors and researchers. It will also outline proper way of quoting and citing contents from other publications. The program will consist of invited presentations, discussions and Q&A sessions.
