Assignments, theses, research papers me copy–paste culture short-cut lagta hai, par academic world me plagiarism heavy offence hai. Universities isko integrity breach maanti hain – degree, reputation, aur future opportunities sab risk pe aa sakte hain.
Plagiarism sirf word-for-word lifting nahi; close paraphrasing without credit, data manipulation, fabricated citations, self-plagiarism (same paper ko multiple jagah as new present karna) sab included ho sakte hain.
Consequences:
- F grades, suspension, ya expulsion,
- Thesis rejection, doctorate cancel,
- Published paper retractions,
- Professional ethics inquiries later in career.
Students aur researchers ke liye best defence strong note-making, proper citation learning, aur reference managers use karna hai. “AI se likhwa ke apna naam laga dena” bhi long-term risky hai, specially jab tools detection improve kar rahe hain.
Academic life ka real value original thinking aur honest effort hai; degree sirf paper nahi, credibility ka certificate hota hai.
