    Dear Sir,

    It's my privilege to be a part of the "Research Ethics and Plagiarism" through SWAYAM virtual platform. As a researcher i found it very useful and leaned a lot from lectures, videos and resources. Learning by doing is my motto. It's really fun while learning.

    Some URL's given in the course are not working showing 404 errors. I request the organizers to download the url content and make it available in the form of google drive link.which will not deviate the purpose of the course/learning/outcome.

    Really wonderful subject.

    Thanks for giving me this opportunity.

    Very knowledge based course and it gives practical experience for new beginners of Research field and research scholars. Open access initiative is one of the most revolutionary movements which encourages free access to participants. Predatory publishing involves charging to authors. Moral philosophy is a subset of philosophy that examiners right and wrong in society and the world. Intellectual honesty in the research proposed and reported refers to honesty the meaning of one's research.

    This course provides ethical scientific conduct, plagiarism, publication ethics and other ethical aspects of research. The course provides interesting videos in relation to research ethics. Although some videos are difficult to understand because of accent, most of the videos are attractive and clearly understandable. Various internet links are given to provide study materials which are not so focused to provide concise, comprehensive information. Various assessment tools used are very appealing.
