Stopping Religious Plagiarisms through Scholarly Criticism Highlighted
Plagiarism is an unfair approach which reduces the quality of research projects and should be stopped particularly in religious spheres through scholarly criticism.
Talking to IQNA, Gholam Ali Haddad Adel, head of the cultural commission in Islamic Consultative Assembly, referred to plagiarism as an unauthorized use of others’ efforts which can be seen not only in religious and Quranic fields but in many other publication domains as well.
“Such an unfair attitude can bring about serious damages to different areas of research,” he went on to say, adding that the best way to reduce or stop this approach is publishing more critical and research-oriented journals in universities or other academic centers.
Head of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature further asserted that “these journals are mainly required to disclose plagiarized works, through objective and academic criticisms, as being in sharp contrast with the original projects conducted by erudite researchers and scholars.”
Referring to the differences in people’s tastes and interests in reading religious books, he asserted: “Reading books in Iran, like any other country, has a pyramidal structure, i.e. the more knowledgeable people are, the more valuable and informative books they study.”
“As literature and religion are often well-received by almost all types of readers, any cases of plagiarism should be seriously prevented in these areas,” he noted.
