Priyanka Sinha, Subaveerapandiyan A., and Manoj Kumar Sinha
Emerald
Purpose This study aims to understand the research data management (RDM) services offered by academic libraries in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries. This study aims to evaluate the library and information science professionals’ required RDM skills and the challenges faced with providing RDM services. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology for this study used a survey method with purposive sampling. Data were collected through online structured questionnaires, which were used to examine the current state of RDM services offered in academic libraries in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Findings South Asian and Southeast Asian region major types of RDM services provided were data repository, data management training, maintaining Web resources, data study and analysis, and promoting awareness of reusable data sources. Little attention was given to advisory services on data analysis/mining/visualization and supporting reproducibility and workflow transparency. The results indicated that most respondents agreed that metadata standards and data management planning skills were required for RDM services in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Originality/value This study is significant because it offers a comprehensive assessment of ongoing RDM services in academic libraries of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Most current literature focuses on best practices in developed nations. This study highlights the need for more competent and dedicated academic staff for effective RDM services. Library professionals can use this study to identify the gaps in RDM services and suggest formative measures to overcome such challenges.


Information seeking, sharing behaviour, and copyright violations among students in India in the digital age
Subaveerapandiyan A., Priyanka Sinha, Madhuri Kumari, and Mohammad Amees
Emerald
Purpose The present study investigates information-sharing behaviour and awareness of students towards the infringement of copyright and associated rights while information sharing. The purpose of this study is to seek answers to the issue of whether or not students infringe on the rights of others and, if they do, whether they do so deliberately or unwittingly. Even though the Copyright Act and copyrighted works are often disregarded, students, teachers and peers are long-term trading and adapting new e-resources for their use. Design/methodology/approach The study collected data from students in India through a survey using Google Forms from January 2022 to May 2022. It analysed it using SPSS software to identify behaviour patterns, trends and factors influencing actions and awareness regarding potential copyright issues during data sharing. Findings The study finds that many students in India engage in copyright infringement, either deliberately or unwittingly. Many students are unaware of copyright laws and regulations and do not understand the consequences of their actions. Research limitations/implications The study’s findings are limited to students in Tamil Nadu, India, and may not represent students in other countries or regions. The findings can inform policies and educational programmes that promote ethical and legal behaviour among students and help reduce the incidence of copyright infringement. Originality/value This study’s originality and value stem from its unique approach of merging information sharing, seeking and copyright concepts.


Balancing research excellence and ‘Publish or Perish' in private Indian universities
Subaveerapandiyan A, Naved Ahmad, Somipam R. Shimray, Lovely M Annamma, and Biji Thomas George
SAGE Publications
This study explores the interplay between research excellence, career advancement, and the “publish or perish” culture among faculty in private Indian universities. Using data from 252 respondents, it examines how demographic variables such as age, education, position, experience, and research engagement shape perceptions of research expectations. Factor analysis revealed three key themes: research excellence, academic success and career advancement, and pressure to publish, collectively explaining 71.007% of the total variance in perceptions. The findings indicate that university support and faculty qualifications positively influence research excellence and career growth. However, a persistent “publish or perish” culture exerts significant pressure on faculty, often prioritizing quantity over quality of outputs. This study underscores the importance of institutional strategies in fostering a balanced research environment, providing insights for policy-making in private Indian universities.

A Subaveerapandiyan, Dattatraya Kalbande, and Naved Ahmad
SAGE Publications
This study explores the perceptions, effectiveness, and ethical implications of AI tools in academic writing among PhD scholars in India. It evaluates the comparative effectiveness of AI tools versus traditional methods for paraphrasing, plagiarism detection, and citation improvement. The research also investigates user confidence in AI tools’ adaptability to various academic disciplines and their potential to support critical thinking and academic integrity. A structured quantitative approach was employed, utilizing validated surveys with 184 respondents from the University of Mumbai. Findings indicate that while AI tools enhance clarity, flow, and efficiency, they raise concerns about over-reliance, originality, and ethical transparency. Advanced-year scholars valued citation improvements but were critical of originality-related functions. The study emphasizes responsible AI use, advocating for its role as a complementary, supportive tool to foster creativity and intellectual rigor. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on integrating AI responsibly into academic practices.
