Guidelines for the Mandatory inclusion of AcSIR Affiliation in all publications emanating from the Thesis work

Any student and/or faculty of AcSIR publishing a paper based on the AcSIR thesis research work of the student and/or the thesis content must mandatorily include their affiliation with the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) in the Title page of the paper under the Author lines (in addition to their affiliation with the CSIR institute).

Example cited below for better clarity:

Jyoti Mukherjee1,2, Anurag Sharma1and Balram Mishra1,2

1CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, Dr. KS Krishnan Marg, New Delhi-110012, India

2Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad- 201002, India

Note: In this case, Jyoti Mukherjee is an AcSIR Student working at CSIR-NPL, and Balram Mishra is her supervisor and a faculty of AcSIR working at CSIR-NPL. Anurag Sharma is a scientist/student but not a faculty/student of AcSIR.

Any publication without full compliance to the above form of the affiliation with AcSIR by the student and faculty of AcSIR would not be admitted as a qualifier for the fulfillment of their AcSIR Ph.D. thesis submission requirements. Also, any publication emanating from the thesis work of the student at any time without proper AcSIR affiliation (as mentioned above) would be considered as unethical and violative of academic norms and guidelines of AcSIR.
