Expert Talk Series on Research Integrity with Prof S C Lakhotia

The researchers are publishing similar work with little extension in different journals, to increase the number of publications. How will this kind of activity make research sustainable to the researchers and its significance in the present?

Research Papers Publications through international conferences is a short-cut and easy route. What will be the impact of such papers on developing countries’ researchers, in terms of if they cite and get inspired to do further similar research? [I have observed that most papers in general, remain of primary and lower stage researchers].

Earlier traditional symposiums were helpful to the young researchers to provide feedback on their latest unpublished research work, (so called preprint review in today's time; through a poster or oral presentations). Nowadays, people send published works and present to symposiums. Is this practice good for the publicity of the work or should we adopt the old model of symposiums?

In any above cases, regular researchers publish many abstracts with slight changes in the text, in the symposium proceedings. How reputed societies' editorial board members can control such malpractices?
