Shodhganga: a reservoir of indian theses.

        Theses and dissertations are known to be the rich and unique source of information, often the only source of research work that does not find its way into various publication channels. Theses and dissertations remain an un-tapped and under-utilized asset, leading to unnecessary duplication and repetition that, in effect, is the anti-theses of research and wastage of huge resources, both human and financial.

    The UGC Notification (Minimum Standards & Procedure for Award of M.Phil. / Ph.D Degree, Regulation, 2009) dated 1st June 2009 mandates submission of electronic version of theses and dissertations by the researchers in universities with an aim to facilitate open access to Indian theses and dissertations to the academic community world-wide. Online availability of electronic theses through centrally-maintained digital repositories, not only ensure easy access and archiving of Indian doctoral theses but will also help in raising the standard and quality of research. This would overcome serious problem of duplication of research and poor quality resulting from the “poor visibility” and the “unseen” factor in research output. As per the Regulation, the responsibility of hosting, maintaining and making the digital repository of Indian Electronic Theses and Dissertation (called “ Shodhganga “), accessible to all institutions and universities, is assigned to the INFLIBNET Centre.

    Shodhganga” is the name coined to denote digital repository of Indian Electronic Theses and Dissertations set-up by the INFLIBNET Centre. The word “Shodh” originates from Sanskrit and stands for research and discovery. The “Ganga” is the holiest, largest and longest of all rivers in Indian subcontinent. The Ganga is the symbol of India’s age-long culture and civilisation, everchanging, ever-flowing, ever-loved and revered by its people, and has held India’s heart captive and drawn uncounted millions to her banks since the dawn of history. Shodhganga stands for the reservoir of Indian intellectual output stored in a repository hosted and maintained by the INFLIBNET Centre.

  The Shodhganga@INFLIBNET is set-up using an open source digital repository software called DSpace developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in partnership between Hewlett- Packard (HP). The DSpace uses internationally recognized protocols and interoperability standards. Shodhganga provides a platform for research scholars to deposit their Ph.D. theses and make it available to the entire scholarly community in open access. The repository has the ability to capture, index, store, disseminate and preserve ETDs (Electronic Theses and Dissertations) submitted by the researchers.

   DSpace supports “Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting” (OAI-PMH) and uses a qualified version of the Dublin Core schema for its metadata. The INFLIBNET Centre, promotes setting-up of institutional and ETD repositories in member universities using OAI-PMH complaint software. A number of member universities have already set-up their institutional and ETD repositories using either DSpace or other OAI-PMH compliant Institutional Repository software. It would be possible for universities having sufficient network and computing infrastructure to maintain their own ETD repositories wherein their research scholars could deposit e-versions of their theses and dissertations. Moreover, they can use Shodhganga to host their theses as backup archives. INFLIBNET Centre, besides maintaining the Central ETD Repository (Shodhganga) would also deploy a central server to harvest the metadata from all such ETD repositories distributed in universities with an aim to provided unified access to theses and dissertations through its harvesting server.

   Shodhganga replicates academic structure of each University in terms of Departments/ Centres/ Colleges each University has to facilitate ease of navigation. This structure facilitates research scholars from universities to deposit their theses in the respective Department / Centre / College. As shown in the Fig 1, option for simple search and advance search are available on the home page along with browsing facility through universities and departments. The Centre is also developing a semantic web-based interface to facilitate subject-based browsing, navigation, search and retrieval of content available in the repository.

ETDs can contain non-text elements such as multimedia, sound, video, and hypertext links. This enables scholars worldwide to locate, search, and download ETDs. For most scholars, the the Ph.D thesis and M.phil dissertations are the first major work of scholarship they produce. To make those works more readily available to other scholars, as well as to save money, many universities and libraries are now making digitized (or electronic) versions available. The Shodhganga@INFLIBNET is set-up using open source digital repository software called DSpace developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in partnership between Hewlett- Packard (HP). The DSpace uses internationally recognized protocols and interoperability standards. Shodhganga provides a platform for research scholars to deposit their Ph.D. theses and make it available to the entire scholarly community in open access. An attempt has been made to determine the present status of participating Indian Universities in Shodganga.

This article presents an analytical perspective about the plagiarism related issues in digital age with special reference to Indian Universities. Presently, India is third world's largest country for higher education system where more than 677 universities and 35829 collages are available for providing higher education. Plagiarism is an issue of research misconduct in academic and research community. In digital age plagiarism is copying words/text from any kind of information sources (Internet, books, magazines, journals, project reports, publications, white papers etc.) without proper citation. Plagiarism is the act of stealing someone else's work and attempting to pass it off as your own. In ICT era plagiarism detection is very easy job for academicians, researchers and publishers. To Preventing the plagiarism in Indian universities, INFLIBNET Centre on behalf of UGC, MHRD, and Govt. of India provided two anti-plagiarism software's "iThenticate" and "Turnitin" under the Shodhganga project to 110 universities for the one year in 2014. Currently, INFLIBNET Centre provided "Urkund" anti-plagiarism software to selected 135 Indian universities for the year 2015-16. Today, many more plagiarism detection software's (open source and proprietary) are available for easily use by academic institutions/universities. This paper also suggests the sustaining skills to avoid plagiarism or reduce the percentage of plagiarism in their submission research work to respective university/institution.

The concept of Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) in India has gained momentum in recent years particularly from June 1, 2009, when the University Grants Commission (UGC), a statutory body of Indian Higher Education System mandated submission of electronic version of theses and dissertations by the researchers in universities with an aim to facilitate open access to Indian theses and dissertations to the academic community world-wide. In compliance to the UGC mandate, Shodhganga repository, a reservoir of Indian research output was set up by INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad, using DSpace open source software with the aim to collect, preserve and provide access to ETDs submitted in Universities and Institutions in India. The purpose of this paper is to identify major contributors of ETDs in Shodhganga (Indian Ph.D. Theses Repository – iETD) particularly AMU, Aligarh during the years 2013-16. It also focuses on department/subject wise contribution of ETDs from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). The study shows that AMU has been ranked no. 1 in terms of contribution in Shodhganga with 6138 full text theses and dissertations followed by Panjab University (5616) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (4458). The study also depicts that during the year 2015, highest no. of theses and dissertations (5405) were submitted in Shodhganga repository. Department of Chemistry of AMU has contributed maximum no. of ETDs i.e. 816 theses and dissertations, followed by Department of Bio-Chemistry (419) and Department of Zoology (371). The paper concludes with the brief discussion of some future plans which will be taken up by the AMU to make accessible its maximum research output to the global academic community

Universities are highly responsible for developing new theories through innovative research studies in all around the globe. Students and scholars are putting their best efforts to produce new facts and principles in these centres of higher studies. In India we have around 350 universities and every year almost more than 12000 PhDs are being produced by these universities. Avoiding duplication of research work is a serious matter of concern to all nations. Innovations in ICTs become a boon to avoid duplication as well as utilization of these studies. An electronic submission of these dissertations and theses are known as ETDs. Modern information and communication technology (ICT) acts as an effective intervener for paradigm shifting from closed access theses and dissertations to open access electronic theses and dissertations (ETD). The present study brings out grate opportunity to the library professionals to implement makes the initiatives to create the MoU from Shodhganga from INFLIBNET for the purpose of submission of electronic theses and dissertations. Nearly 202 universities from 29 States of India are registered in Shodhganga as on 25 th march 2015. It is highlighted one that among the 29 States of India, 32 universiti es from Tamil Nadu are registered in the ETD repository scheme of INFLIBNET. It is encourage one that within three months of 2015, 16 universities are register MoU with INFLIBNET for Shodhganga and it may break the earlier records of registration within end of the 2015. Among the 29 States, 202 universities were signed MoU, It is noticed that 54 universities are registered in 2013, 51 universities in 2012, 38 universities registered in 2011 and 10 universities registered in 2010, as on March 2015, 16 universities are registered MoU with INFLIBNET for Shodhganga. It understands from the table that 14 Government universities and 18 private universities from Tamil Nadu are register with Shodhganga.
