The Polytechnics in Ghana are currently been upgraded to Technical University status. In view of this, academic research and for that matter compliance to research ethics has become imperative. This notwithstanding, concerns on ranking, funding, open scholarship, virtual research, and reputation building. Academic writing is guided by laid down rules, standards and codes of conducts in order to uphold intellectual integrity and honesty. As behavioural attitudes, the ‘‘duty-based theory which complements the need for compliance to academic research policies, rules and codes of conducts was espoused. The researchers explored the librarians’ role in support of the Technical University’ new road map.
This is an exploratory study that adopted the quantitative method. Senior Polytechnic librarians whose institutions have undergone the transition (7 institutions) became the resultant respondents. Twenty six responses were analysed using SPSS to ascertain the results. Questionnaire was the instrument used for the data collection.
Findings revealed numerous roles deemed traditional and contemporary. Although the librarians play crucial roles by instilling academic discipline, emerging roles and use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) applications was minimal. The study revealed plagiarism, fabrication, poor record keeping, honorary authorship, conflict of interest, duplication particularly dissertation as some of the dilemmas. Other delinquencies were data insecurity, social network abuse and issues on e-waste. It was discovered that integration of ICT has impacted on academic research and for that matter on ethics. The benefits of adhering to ethical standards promote integrity in research, impact on institution’s reputation, ranking, funding, transparency amongst others. Innovative applications, interactive and collaborative approaches, policy and compliance, sensitisation and education amongst others were recommended as remedies to manage and curtail the menace of violations of research ethics.
The study ascertained the degree of awareness of these dilemmas among the librarians. It postulated vigorous ethical scrutiny and research enquiry to ensure that research findings improve human conditions both present and future. As librarians their traditional roles are currently embedded with the new and challenging tasks.
