Anti-Plagiarism Policy
Feb
6, 2017
SZABIST has revised the Anti- plagiarism policy for Independent
Studies, Thesis and Dissertation and has formulated a Research Review Committee
with following composition.
At SZABIST, we use Turnitin for two purposes. (a) for Assignment
Checking and (b) for Research Papers, Research Reports, Thesis and
Dissertation. With the growing number of students, where many faculty members
give assignments in their classes, similarly the number of MBA, MS and PhD
students has grown into many in number; it is practically not possible for one
individual to carry out the checking of all the said material through Turnitin.
(1)
For Research Papers, Research Reports, Thesis &
Dissertations
(a)
Turnitin Report Generation
to be carried out by Head (IT) with Turnitin Parameters setting as follows:
-

(b) Manual Cross
Verification: To be done by Research Committee and the verified reports are to
be:
·

plagiarized more than 20% after manual verification.
·

concerned department. In case of Research Reports
