HANDBOOK OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY GEBUNDEN

The book brings together diverse views from around the world and provides a comprehensive
overview of the subject  beginning with different definitions of academic integrity through 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 10-20 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 to be a very 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. Despite or perhaps because of this broad interest and input  there has been
no 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.
