As uniqueness is the basis to achieve good position, one must take pledge to no plagiarism and follow established guidelines that surely will show a defined path to work without cheating and committing misconduct. Finally, the authors advocate methods to prevent plagiarism by utilizing proper citations, academic writing tools, and steps to avoid plagiarism among students, improve their academic integrity of research works, and point toward future strategies.","PeriodicalId":248290,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advancements in Library Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135751003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
