As part of the program to develop the skills of graduate students in the research phase, the College of Law organized a specialized scientific workshop entitled “Ethics of Scientific Research in Legal Studies.” Assistant Professor Dr. Alaa Abdul Amir Musa and moderated by lecturer Dr. Ali Hamza Jabr.
The workshop aimed to enhance ethical awareness among graduate students of the importance of adhering to the principles of integrity and academic honesty in preparing legal research. It also aimed to clarify the concept and risks of plagiarism, and to clarify the correct methods for documenting sources and quoting in theses and dissertations.
The workshop concluded that academic honesty is the backbone of sound legal research, requiring researchers to accurately attribute each idea or piece of information to its original source. Criticism in legal studies must be constructive and objective, aiming only to address legislative or judicial shortcomings.
The workshop recommended the inclusion of specialized and detailed material or topics in graduate studies curricula on the application of academic research ethics specifically in the legal field, and the organization of periodic practical workshops on the latest documentation methods and how to use plagiarism detection software.
