Code of Ethics
The College has a policy on all kinds of Research Misconduct such as invention, falsification, plagiarism, or other serious divergence from accepted practices in proposing, carrying out, or reporting results from research; Scholars/faculty should ensure that they have written and submitted only entirely novel works, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited. Publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the work reported in the thesis/research paper should also be cited. Plagiarism takes many forms, from “passing off” another’s paper as the author’s own, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without acknowledgement), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing practice and deserves condemnation.
