Ethics are the backbone of any civic society even play a significant role in the progress. It is well known fact that the ethics have the power to create the holistic environment. However, it is a great paradox, we generally talk about the ethics but practically things are totally different. Ethics are not meant only for civic society, whereas these are applicable everywhere. Research and academic societies are also not untouched. However, in research and academic activities, infringement and breaching of ethics have been noticed. In fact, the concerned try to manipulate the things for their personal benefits. Consequently, things are marching towards wrong direction and thereby unethical things and contents cannot sustain in the national and international market. Therefore, these must be followed identically. The present study will try to find out the level of ethical behavior among the scholars and academicians. Further, the study will elicit the facts which will really help to improve the ethical practices.
