Abstract

India’s Education sector is in for a grand transformation thanks to the introduction of the National Educational Policy 2020. The present government is also focusing heavily on the country’s higher education sector and wants it to be on par with its international counterparts in terms of quality in research and publication. With this changed backdrop, the modern day librarians of HEIs are no longer reckoned as mere custodians and gatekeepers of traditional knowledge resources; they are vested with the job of educating the research scholars about research and publication ethics, citation styles, provide insights into free, copyrighted material and creative commons licensed content, online resources, check the research outcomes for plagiarism and play a significant role in the Academic Integration Committees of their institutions. This paper deliberates on the enhanced role of librarians as the knowledge resource managers in ensuring the quality standards in research and publication.
