With considerations for students, faculty members, librarians, and researchers, this book will explain and help to mitigate plagiarism in higher education contexts.Plagiarism is a complex issue that affects many stakeholders in higher education, but it isn't always well understood. This text provides an in-depth, evidence-based understanding of plagiarism with the goal of engaging campus communities in informed conversations about proactive approaches to plagiarism.Offering practical suggestions for addressing plagiarism campus-wide, this book tackles such messy topics as self-plagiarism, plagiarism among international students, essay mills, and contract cheating. It also answers such tough questions as:Why do students plagiarize, and why don't faculty always report it?Why are plagiarism cases so hard to manage?What if researchers themselves plagiarize?How can we design better learning assessments to prevent plagiarism?When should we choose human detection versus text-matching software?This nonjudgmental book focuses on academic integrity from a teaching and learning perspective, offering comprehensive insights into various aspects of plagiarism with a particular lens on higher education to benefit the entire campus community.

This book addresses issues related to ethics and integrity in teacher training. The book celebrates global perspectives on ethics and integrity for pre-service teachers, acknowledging that although some aspects of ethics are universal, the ways in which these are implemented can vary.

This book addresses an important topic in higher education: credential fraud. It explores transcript tampering and fraud in varsity athletics and discusses lazy practices in the higher education hiring processes that open the door for professors without proper credentials to get jobs in post-secondary institutions.

The book brings together diverse views from around the world and provides a comprehensive overview of academic integrity and how to create the ethical academy. At the same time, the Handbook does not shy away from some of the vigorous debates in the field such as the causes of academic integrity breaches. There has been an explosion of interest in academic integrity in the last 20-30 years. New technologies that have made it easier than ever for students to ‘cut and paste’, coupled with global media scandals of high profile researchers behaving badly, have resulted in the perception that plagiarism is ‘on the rise’. This, in combination with the massification and commercialisation of higher education, has resulted in a burgeoning interest in the importance of academic integrity, how to safeguard it and how to address breaches appropriately. What may have seemed like a relatively easy topic to address – students copying sources without attribution – has in fact, turned out tobe a complex, interdisciplinary field of research requiring contributions from linguists, psychologists, social scientists, anthropologists, teaching and learning specialists, mathematicians, accountants, medical doctors, lawyers and philosophers, to name just a few.Because of this broad interest and input, this handbook serves as the single authoritative reference work which brings together the vast, growing, interdisciplinary and at times contradictory body of literature. For both established researchers/practitioners and those new to the field, this Handbook provides a one-stop-shop as well as a launching pad for new explorations and discussions.

This book provides insights on approaches for enhancing ethical practice, professionalism and integrity for future development in academia and beyond. It does so by offering a thorough review of the background and processes to enhance academic integrity in the years of artificial intelligence. The book also explores the future of research integrity and ethics by examining lessons from the past. Ideas from research findings on how to incorporate an integrity culture in continuously changing secondary and higher education are addressed. The chapters are written by international authors who have been working in the fields of integrity sciences, focussing on ways to enhance ethics and integrity amongst students, academics and institutions (including schools). They identify approaches to deter and detect misconduct and discuss the ways to educate academic integrity amongst academic communities. The book addresses best practices from international institutions and how these can be transformed and adopted in different subject areas. Embracing and managing the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in education are key themes throughout. Special attention is given to the ethical use of GenAI, exploring the ways to minimise the misuses via policies and guidelines.

This book is inclusive in nature, showcasing experiences from women who are scholars, students and higher education professionals. The bookmakes a significant and unique contribution to the field of gender studies, with a focus on women negotiating life in the academic world and within the Canadian context.
