Plagiarism does not only have to be the copied work of published data of another author but also using colleagues' work and even our own previously published research work without referencing called as self-plagiarism. However, in India, self-plagiarism is not yet a crime under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. </p><p><a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3747104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3747104</a></p> ER -
