Academically Dismissed from school

[neilsqueen 433]

Ok it's time to be blunt...you reap what you sow.  You received your answer many times, now it's time to move on.  Your actions are what makes things in life difficult for honest individuals.  I'm sorry, but I'm so tired of seeing people who KNOWINGLY lie, cheat, etc have a pity party for themselves!!  Put on your big boy panties and move on.  You were wrong, now live with the consequences.  Stop making life harder on those people on here who are breaking their backs to be honest and get ahead in life.

So will this immigration history affect my studies and probable employment in States in a negative way?

You keep asking this question and people keep answering you. So I will keep it simple. Yes, this immigration history will affect your studies and probable employment in the United States in a negative way.

I did a project during my undergraduate and I published the report in an International Journal. That journal seems authentic to me. It provided a certification of publication to me. I attached both of the things in the additional document section. Later in the mid of the semester I found out that the department has found some plagiarism in that paper. Now, I did check when I was publishing it. There was not any. Also, the publisher published it. All seem authentic to me then only I attached it with application. But, they found me guilty and thus they took this action.

Send an email to the editor of the said international journal and ask them to retract the publication. Let them know the reason for choosing to retract the publication. Be honest in your future admission applications to other schools. You can actually include this in your future admissions personal statement and use it as a life-changing/eye-opening/learning experience. 

 

Don't get too optimistic though. Plagiarism is frowned upon in the US academic community. Many programs will still reject you.

You will be lucky for any renowned school any where in the world to accept you.

Plagiarism in academia is like an incurable disease that you can't dissociate yourself from the moment you are linked to it.

Everyone in academia views you with suspicion.

 

If i were you, I would start by cleaning up from where it started. Write a rejoinder (not sure if it is the appropriate word), to correctly cite your sources in the publication. At least it will show any prospective school that you owned up to the problem and took steps to make up.

Ignoring it means you don't care..

 

This is will come up in any future immigration process because, what you did, in immigration terms , is lying. which is misrepresentation.

i feel like there is something else going on here you arent telling us..

 

what undegrad was this publication from?? i have a hard time believing they just out of the blue decided to review your journal and find out it was plagerised.. unless you said you did a publicaiton that wasnt even yours??? did you send someone else report in and claim it was done by you???

 

i have done college papers before, and my grad program never looked into any of the research/papers i did in UG? of course, this was in a journal but i doubt they would go through and see if you plagerised.. it could have been a word here, or a word there and they would have brought you in and spoke with you.  if it was a small error, i am sure u could have fixed this (no program in the US wants to kick out a student $$$).

 

i am willing to bet you either claimed a paper was yours, and it wasnt (and perhaps that paper was the reason you got in the program). while in the program something must have triggered them to go back to your file and actively look at this paper.. or like someone else said, you faked your GRE/TOFL results.

 

if this was a minor issue, i would have went to the dean of the program and absolutely explained the situation and tried to fix the problem and ensure u could either redo the paper, or explained what happened to stay in the program.  

your english/understanding of the language seems to be lacking.  perhaps this triggered them to look deeper at your file, scores ect.

 

what kind of program was this? and what type of school? was it a very competitive program? (ie harvard MBA?) 

 

again, i am willing to bet this is a more serious issue then you let on and there is something else going on here!

Advice: Stay in India, get an advanced degree there (a Masters or Ph.D) preferably in a STEM subject. Then, apply for a US job.

I teach ESL in an academic program at a university and I have no sympathy for you. You cheated, plagiarized someones work and are not revealing the whole story. It's difficult enough for graduate students to get published in an international journal let alone an undergrad. Additionally, if the journal is a reputable publication as you stated, you have now put the editors of the journal into a very bad position as now everyone's work is suspect.  I hope you learn from this, but I would say your chances of studying in the US are slim to none. You have ruined your academic reputation. Students ask all the time how we teachers know they cheated, well the answer is the English is too perfect and it creates a discrepancy between verifiable original work and work that is submitted as their own. We also have other tools to check for authenticity.

All International journals are committed to protecting the integrity of scholarship. All of them use propitiatory tools (Crossref/CrossCheck) to check for plagiarism before publishing any article.

 

How come that the journal failed to detect the plagiarism, then school out of the blue decide to investigate your paper/work and dismiss you after completing one semester?

Doubtful OP is inclined to do so.  He seems intent on a US student visa, or failing that, going for studying in another country.

I think u did it on purpose because most schools give you a syllabus with rules about plagiarism. Were you tasting the waters? My professors always warned us that every paper goes thru anti-plagiarism be4 its graded. All u had to do was to give credit to the owners of the article NOT presenting it as your own. Now u have to dig yourself out of this hole. There are no shortcuts in America.

OP said " But, they found me guilty and thus they took this action."

 

To me that sounds like the school had an academic hearing where they found him to have plagiarized in his article. If it was just an automated tool flagging it, that would be one thing. But when the university finds that you have plagiarized, it's an extremely serious offense and not something they take lightly. They don't want one of their students to have been caught with this...it makes them look bad as well. I worked in higher education for almost 10 years, and have only seen a handful of these hearings. They're no joke...numerous people spend days getting everything in order for it. While I would never say they are 100% correct in their findings, I would take that finding extremely seriously.

 

Buy yes, it's possible something else sparked the investigation. Then again, I had one of my professors found to have plagiarized in his thesis...because he just stopped showing up one day. The department head came in and told us what happened, and to let her know if anybody has a way to contact him since they cannot get in contact with him. We almost had to retake the course.
