Their sins are finally catching up with them. These are lecturers who go all out to victimize students. Most especially those of the accounting department. Those who graduated from faculty of management science in UNICAL should know better. After them go d form SOCRATES. Them no see Dr P K Bissong?
I thank d OGA'S AT THE TOP for a job well done.

[b]This is a very WELCOME step taken by the University of Calabar. The majority of Nigerian academics in Nigerian universities write shoddy papers or articles that would fail undergraduate essay assessments in European and North American universities. They then publish such shady works in dodgy journals and on the basis of such publications, secure academic appointments and promotions in State, Federal and private Nigerian universities. Here is a list of such fraudulent journals: http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/

Many also publish their undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations as books with vanity presses such as Lambert Academic Publishing which also operates under the name of VDM Verlag and a host of others. It's a shame that Universities of Nigeria, Ibadan, Lagos, Ilorin and OAU as well as countless others have their academic staff publishing shoddy works with these vanity presses and journals. The Nigeria education system has truly gone to the dogs!

The way forward is to insist that Nigerian academics publish exclusively in A* - C rated journals housed with publishers such as Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Springer as well as Journals published by leading University Presses in UK, other Western European countries, USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa. Period. Nigerian University Presses, in terms of peer-review integrity, are stone-dead.[/b]

eagle,eye:
I believe those guys who go to the Literature section to steal stories will now begin to understand how serious Plagiarism is.
DO NOT STEAL OTHER PEOPLES WORK, IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE.

Going to the literature section to copy is not wrong provided you do the right thing, which is make reference but to steal like you put it is ...

Now, there are some assignments you are given that your lecture would not want to hear your voice at all, your opinion does not count, and sometiimes they range between 3000 to 3500 words, so what would you do? The lecturer expects you to contact Journals and other publish works on the subject or topic (some will even tell you the number of Journals or published works they want, could be up to 10).

So, this is how you go about it: according to Okupe (2013) granting amnesty or pardon to a convicted thief is not be wrong...
or like this; granting amnesty or pardon to a convicted thief is not be wrong...(Okupe, 2013)
It could also be like this; Okupe (2013 cited in eagle-eye, 2010) was of the opinion that granting amnesty or pardon to a convicted thief is not be wrong...


By so doing, you can never be charged for plagiarism. But for a PhD to have been accused to have plagiarised call to question his/her certificate.

But do you know that people contract PhD thesis out in this country? I have handled one before (confession)

There are still many plagiarists in that University. I have evidence of self plagiarism for two other Lecturers, Professor Celestine Bassey and Dr. Felix Akpan. The two are of Political Science Department. They reproduce the same material word for word in two different journals under different titles. This is a crime in the academic system. You can search for and read these two articles online: "Mainstreaming Peace and Security in the Niger Delta: Resource Control, Ethnic nationalism and Conflict Cessation in a Turbulent System", and "The politics of Resource Control in Nigeria". The first paper was published by Global Journal of Human Social Science in it Volume 12 Issue 6, while the second appeared in European Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 27, No. 2. The two lecturers may even be on the panel that ttried the case of the dismissed lecturers. We must sanitise this system.

Hmn,,,,this is serious,not only lectures,students are involved in this practice,
imagine a student being asked to submit project topics for Approval,first thing,he visits his departmental library,picks old project topic submitted by previous students as soon as one is approved, the next tin is to COPY AND PASTE,,,,only the Name,matric number and year changes.
How far can we go frm here.Only few are ready to Research and come up with new ideas,
majority of the students only study to pass and just want to graduate in order to bear the title GRADUATE!!!.Most cannot give a Vivid definitionof their Course of Study.
Really Pathetic,Its just a Circle of events.
Kudos to University of Calabar,MY ALMA MATER.

When you quote verbatim the words of an author, you must put those words in quotation mark and reference it appropriately, including the page number where the quote appears. However if it is the idea that is being paraphrased, there is no need to insert quotation mark but the idea, nevertheless must be referenced, though there wouldn't be need to cite the page reference.

The lecturers should not take the wipes alone because some persons/committee vented after their works was published. so I think oil should still be found in the cloths of other persons

This can only happen in my Alma mater, the Great Republic of Malabor. I remember how 2 Professors we sacked disgracefully from my department those days. Anyone who successfully graduates from Unical is always a shining example, cos we did not just pass through the university, the university passed through us too. Unlike Unilag that produces so many Ogas on Top-like mediocres.

What do you expect from block heads who are lecturers because the labour market is saturated. Research requires a lot of funding & colaboration with sponsors & donor agencies. A lot of nigerian academics including professors are just white collar lecturers who have not done any reasonable research work. With this kind of people, nigeria cannot develop technologically.

I used to think that publishing a paper was easy until my supervisor and I decided to publish one in a reputable journal last year. It was hell of a task, too many scrutiny from highly placed professional in that field and a lot of adjustment which we had to do before the work was accepted for publication. My point is if all our so called lecturers underwent such scrutiny of their works in reputable journals before it was published, I guess we wouldn't have the number of profs and doctors which we have today. The average nigerian lecturer doesn't bother about making research and won't think it necessary to go the extra mile to publish a paper. I commend UNICAL for taking a tough action against this academic cancer which is even a worse offense than piracy. I think NUC should deliberate on adding a jail term to anyone caught in this dirty act as this would serve as a deterrent to others. Other institutions should follow this step and not just be too quick to confer someone with a professorship without checking their publications.
