Prof. B.S. Rajput controversy
A lack of oversight and a lack of proper training for scientists has led to the rise of plagiarism and research misconduct in India.-Wikipedia.
One such high profile case was that of Prof. B.S Rajput, the Ex Vice Chancellor of Kumaon University and his colleagues in the field of Theoretical Physics. Various Physicists had alleged that some of his papers which were claimed to be authored by him were reported earlier by other researchers.

Being a vice Chancellor if he is doing plagiarism than what impact it will create on education system?
ReplyDeleteSuspension from the university is not enough, the degree of such people should be cancelled.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you.A degree is useless if its not your work
DeleteWhy was Prof Kavita Pandey suspended from the university?
ReplyDeleteI think it is because she brought this issue in public for that she has to face this problem.
ReplyDeleteYes it can be possible.When some people try to stand up for something wrong,other people try to pull them down.
DeleteIsn't there any law that can protect against plagiarism?
ReplyDeleteAs I was going through an artical, I read that there is no particular law against this but section 57 of the Indian copyright act, 57 gives authors the right to claim authorship of there work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this information.
DeleteHow can the student who is a Phd holder upload or write something without the professor's consent?
ReplyDeleteI think Prof Rajput is just trying to put blame on his student to get out of the situation unharmed.
DeleteYes,I agree with you.
DeleteBut we cannot say this for sure.Maybe this has actually happened and the student had actually done that without his permission.
ReplyDeleteJust putting the blame on student is not going to help the professor to get rid of this ethical issue,he should atleast come up with some evidence
ReplyDeleteExactly.Nothing can be proved without evidence
DeleteHow can we make sure that we are not doing the plagiarism?
ReplyDeleteWe should avoid the 'COPY-PASTE' attitude and try to write things in our own language after reading from the resources.
DeleteOk agree on this
ReplyDeleteWe also need to have the habit of acknowledging the resources that we use
ReplyDeleteYes,we can do that and we also need to know we can use resources for educational purpose only this won't be plagiarism because it is counted as plagiarism only if money is earned through it that people do for commercial purpose.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right.Plagiarism can be avoided if we are alert about what we do
DeleteYes I totally agree with you.
