When I pointed this and asked how that could have been possible i was told that it was sheer oversight and they replaced one with another<br />paper written in a hurry.Some cut and paste and give the reference.<br />Some do it and give no reference.<br />If a student cuts and pastes from 30/40 references with few sentences<br />written here and there it becomes a<br />term paper :(. . When faculty members do similar things and get away with that what message will the students get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-84254008424961165542009-11-17T22:23:36.069+05:302009-11-17T22:23:36.069+05:30There is a software "Turn it in", which ...There is a software "Turn it in", which is very common in US Universities to prevent plagiarism. It is used for class projects, thesis/dissertation and manuscripts. It takes few minutes to scan through the entire PhD dissertation and highlight the plagiarized sections.

Doesn't matter how much dedicated and talented you are for undergraduate/graduate teaching, without a PhD you will be left behind of your colleague who has a PhD. This system leads everyone to run for a PhD degree and get one somehow.Rainbow Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619911613235481638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-12879431476606743322009-11-17T18:26:38.160+05:302009-11-17T18:26:38.160+05:30Agree completely with L in that this is the conseq...Agree completely with L in that this is the consequence of the UGC insisting everyone must have a PhD in order to teach undergrads. <br /><br />I am a faculty in IISc. I recently got a thesis to review from an university. The candidate had submitted the thesis with the head of the department as the guide. Chapter 1 was horrible, chapters 2 to 4 were very well written, chapter 5 was horrible. As a curiousity, I typed several sentences from chapters 2 to 4 in google and sciencedirect and got the original papers. They were completely plagiraized. When I pointed it to the university, the obvious happened: the guide was unaware, committees were formed and I was removed from the panel of examiners forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-86615117017523510652009-11-17T18:01:19.053+05:302009-11-17T18:01:19.053+05:30This is the consequence of the UGC insisting every...This is the consequence of the UGC insisting everyone must have a PhD in order to teach undergrads. So now there is a mad scramble by everyone to get one by hook or crook. For the kind of undergrads we get in our colleges, huge patience, communication skills and a good understanding of the basics of the subject are better tools than research skills.(I have a PhD from a good Instt. so it's not sour grapes) <br />I am very sure that "Dr"T Srinivas is not one bit ashamed and his standing amongst his colleagues not diminished one tiny bit. This is considered quite OK..what is the fuss all about? everyone has such papers and only such papers.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186014514110985045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-79731095495470791732009-11-17T16:37:42.915+05:302009-11-17T16:37:42.915+05:30look at the language of their correspondences. do ...look at the language of their correspondences. do you think its possible that an "original work" by either author could ever be accepted by a respectable journal?phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752298947741450496noreply@blogger.com
