One of the most important results of this study: Ph.D. researchers are the most committed to this ethics with arithmetic mean (m=39.05) due to the research experience gained. In addition, the MA researchers are more committed to scientific honesty than the Ph.D. researchers with arithmetic mean (m=12.65(.The study results also indicated that there were no differences in the total degree of commitment of researchers in the field of libraries and information to the ethics research for MA and Ph.D. theses according to the proposed scale, where the results were indicative in the direction of the Ph.D. theses.
