Combating plagiarism in research has become a critical issue for colleges, as many cases of copying have been witnessed in the past few years. To avoid such instances and keep a check on the quality of dissertations that scholars produce, Redmark Editing, along with some other editorial services, has adopted a new set of rules. These standards were recently unveiled during a meeting between the editorial boards of universities, journal publications and research support services. These were jointly formulated by all concerned parties, to enable fair assessment of research reports.
According to the freshly issued guidelines, editors will have to check plagiarism in every form, throughout the document. Any trace of plagiarized material can cause rejection of the report. Editorial services like Redmark Editing have a strong policy for examining citation and offer Citation Compliance as a separate service. Students can hire this service for making sure that even unintentional mistakes in references are corrected before submission.
The editorial boards further discussed the sources from which plagiarism can occur, and it was agreed that internet sources have emerged as possible loophole in the referencing system. Albeit their usefulness for students, internet sources pose risk since students are often unaware of the manner in which the source has to be quoted. The new guidelines also include a special section for citing online sources correctly.
Plagiarism means unethical use of material from resources that students refer to for help. While the use of references for guidance and understanding the topic is completely ethical, failure to quote the source and acknowledge the author leads to plagiarism. Citation is a crucial part of any research report and the style of citation must also be as per the standards of the university from where the scholar is pursuing his course.
Redmark Editing is a reliable resource for students to get their research reports and dissertations edited. The team of over 500 editors checks documents closely and prepares editing reports.
