HIGHER EDUCATION INTEGRITY

No matter where we are, integrity is a reflection of one’s personality. Even in the higher education, integrity in scientific writing to convey scientific facts is important.

Mentioning my previous post, I was asked by the World Health Organization – WHO Bulletin to evaluate an article to be published in the forthcoming Bulletin. The article is related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I have found that the article plagiarized and almost 70% of the results were taken from other sources without any accurate reference.

It is hesitant for me to write to the editor and state my suggestion that the article should not be published. But somehow I believe that right facts are important in ensuring the integrity of the scientific world for the better.
