| Popis | This chapter is based on a summary of the experiences of the authors since they first became involved in research into academic integrity, starting with a funding application in 2009. As part of a consortium of five institutional partners, their initial focus was to explore policies for plagiarism in higher education across the European Union (EU). At that time very little was known about how different countries in the EU were approaching student plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct. Even less was known about how higher education institutions in Europe were responding to academic misconduct by students. Since that time the authors’ approach has shifted considerably, based on the outputs from several successful research projects, adding considerably to the body of knowledge, together with a wide range of partners and thanks to several important sources of funding, particularly the European Commission and the Council of Europe. The focus is no longer on plagiarism alone. The research interests have diversified to include integrity and ethics, covering both education and research. The geographical scope has expanded to cover other parts of Europe and Eurasia and the authors’ network of research contacts and collaborators is global. The chapter describes how the activities of the authors, involving both top-down and bottom-up approaches, have had a remarkable influence on the understanding and responses to threats to academic integrity, internationally, nationally, and institutionally. |
