Improving the Quality of Research by Faculty and Creation of New Knowledge and Strategies for Improving Research Culture in Colleges/Universities (d) Publication Ethics and Peer Review Culture :  The mandatory requirement of publications in journals/conference proceedings for award of doctoral degrees and as a metric in evaluating faculty under the API score has resulted in a proliferation of predatory journals and conferences, which have abandoned classical peer review as a method of quality control.

Rameshwari Photocopy Service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Oxford_v._Rameshwari_Photocopy_Service Full text of the single bench judgment of the case CS(OS) 2439/2012 dated 16-09-2016: http://164.100.69.66/jupload/dhc/RSE/judgement/16-09-2016/RSE16092016S24392012.pdf#page=79 Copyright, specially in literary works, is thus not an inevitable, divine, or natural right that confers on authors the absolute ownership of their creations. It is designed rather to stimulate activity and progress in the arts for the intellectual enrichment of the public. Copyright is intended to increase and not to impede the harvest of knowledge.
