Academia: Between Junk and Genius


Listen Later

The controversy surrounding UPM's publication of a historically inaccurate paper about Malay maritime history has raised discussions on the lengths that universities and academics will go for a KPI. We speak to Associate Professor Dr. Emma Mohamad, Deputy Dean of Research & Innovation at the Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities, UKM on the many facets of the issue. From publish-or-perish to predatory journals, we probe the issues that are compromising academic integrity.
