Plagiarism is not a recent issue as it exists for a long time, and it is still happening especially within the academic world. The study aims to examine the applicable laws relating to plagiarism from the academician's perspective by referring to India as the benchmark jurisdiction. As the findings show that there are no standard policies for all educational institutions to cope with plagiarism, Malaysian government need to address the gap in current regulations by having uniform legislation to all institutions pertaining on academic misconduct of the academicians.

The present paper dwells on Research Data Management (RDM), its need, importance, the behaviour of the researchers in different disciplines towards data sharing and the role of libraries in extending data management services. The policies of publishers and funding bodies for sharing research data have also been described. It underlines that the library professionals should have a comprehensive understanding of the emerging issues, trends and challenges about the research data management to deploy appropriate services for the researchers. It highlights various resources on research data management, which may serve as guidelines for library professionals and researchers. The study will prove beneficial to library professionals and inspire them to extend RDM services in their organisations The paper concludes by advocating that the library professionals must update and upskill themselves with new trends, tools and techniques to provide RDM services. They should sensitise researchers to make their datasets accessible for reuse and sharing.
With the awareness and proliferation of technology, the smart approach is possible to build a learning system or a smart city. The study aims to present the involvement of digital literacy in academics, making youth smart citizens, and assessing the continuous efforts at different levels. The study highlighted the mechanisms adopted by the libraries, such as training and other programmes, to enhance the digital literacy of the citizens. The chapter spotlighted the inclusion of digital literacy in academics, and with the adoption of digital solutions, young learners can become smart citizens. It also throws light on the impact of digital literacy during COVID-19 and digital literacy activities at JNU Central Library. A glimpse of the practices and measures adopted by the academic libraries to enrich the youth to make them smart citizens is provided, and a case example of an academic library (i.e., Jawaharlal Nehru University [JNU] Central Library) is considered for the study. Digital literacy has become an integral part of the youths' lives, and it supplements in making youth smart citizens would lead to smart city development.
