ETHICAL CONSIDERATON IN RESEARCH PUBLICATION
Originality, plagiarism and duplicate publication – It is expected that the work submitted for publication should be original, and no attempt is made to by-pass the work of others without crediting the source. Plagiarism may not be in minds of people, but when authors repeat verbatim, sentences, paragraphs or sections without attribution by way of quotation marks and/or reference to the original source – this is called plagiarism.
