Abstract

In recent years, educational researchers in particular have started showing more interest and awareness towards ethical guidelines and codes while conducting educational researches. This trend stems from the popularity of the online researches and sophisticated software to crosscheck if the written text is ethically correct or not exactly plagiarized. This has culminated into the authenticity and validity of some of the contemporary styles of research being employed to new research methodologies. This paper is a theoretical analysis of the concept and importance of ethical guidelines and the cases of plagiarism. In addition, certain reasons of plagiarizing tendencies have also been dealt with. Conclusions have been drawn from personal experience, related works and university norms to incorporate an ethical code of conduct in the domain of educational research.
