ABSTRACT

This paper surveys the various types of research misconduct in Christian studies. We seek the realistic solution to prevent these mistakes. It is very important for researcher to teach properly conduct first-class research, to renounce the desirable research practices. Unethical research destroys the integrity of researcher from the ground and blocks academic development. This misconduct fosters society’s distrust towards the researcher’s group. Even more, it deteriorates the quality of our research and discredits our research internationally. This side effect results from unethical research and reflects poorly on the researcher themselves and their group. Unethical research in Christian studies include plagiarism, duplicate publication,misuse of internet, misrepresentations other’s sermon. There are several ways to figure out plagiarism. First, we can use a software program to inspect for plagiarism and check the word and phrase on line. Second, we can figure out the degree of speciality and creativity of writing. And we also can judge plagiarism by the degree of similar between writing and original copy. To prevent these problems all researchers must conduct moral and fair research. All researchers should have high moral character to protect himself and his group in his research. Before the problem of plagiarism arises, we must prepare object to refute claims of plagiarism. We must learn to correctly quote other authors. The basic rule of quotation is honesty and integrity. If we cite other’s ideas and words or writing, we must attach quotation marks to ensure everyone notices. The internet is very useful and easy way to write. But we must carefully use the internet. We must use a trustworthy source. If we use and copy some idea and writing from on-line, we must announce the original source of internet. Therefore, if we use other’s special idea and reference from other’s writing we must make clear original source in a consistent way. The goal of Christian study is to glorify God and to serve our neighbor. If we conceive this purpose, we must not continue making mistakes. We must reveal the truth and to do our best writing for true communication and reconciliation. Through good influence of writing, we can make our world full of happy and peace.
