Abstract

Muhammad Asif Raza, Muhammad Atif Raza, Muhammad Kashif Raza and Muhammad Awais Ashraf

Academic integrity is an important aspect that must be considered in the present era of academia in order to give fair and fact-based findings. Because we now have a treasure of knowledge, academic integrity has become a prominent topic in order to tackle concerns such as plagiarism, results authenticity, the use of artificial intelligence, fabricated data, and intellectual theft. Plagiarism checkers, like Turnitin, have been developed to address these challenges, but it is also the duty of researchers and institutions to ensure academic integrity. Everyone has a moral obligation to follow academic writing norms and contribute to society by carrying out novel studies rather than exploiting someone else's ideas. It is the most effective approach a community can take to retain and safeguard its academic integrity.
