Academic integrity

Academic integrity is a moral code or ethical policy of academia. The term was popularized by Rutgers University professor Donald McCabe who is considered to be the "grandfather of academic integrity".[1] Other prominent academic integrity scholars and advocates include Tracey Bretag (Australia),[2][3][4][5][6] Cath Ellis (Australia),[7][4] Sarah Elaine Eaton (Canada),[8][9][10] Thomas Lancaster (UK),[11][12] Tomáš Foltýnek (Czech Republic),[13][14] and Tricia Bertram Gallant (US).[15] Academic integrity supports the enactment of educational values through behaviours such as the avoidance of cheating, plagiarism, and contract cheating,[12][11][10] as well as the maintenance of academic standards; honesty and rigor in research and academic publishing.[16]
