Synopsis

Academic integrity is key to the reputation
of higher education institutions. Plagiarism, the most frequently occurring
form of academic misconduct, poses a significant threat to the maintenance of
academic integrity globally, but it has received very little attention in the
research literature of the Caribbean. This volume aims to lift the blanket of
silence that surrounds plagiarism in the region by examining students'
perception of plagiarism, as well as its prevalence in society generally, and
at both the secondary and tertiary levels. It also examines accreditation
agencies' treatment of academic integrity in their policies. This work is
valuable to higher education administrators, faculty and students. It provides
the first in-depth examination of plagiarism regionally, and includes relevant
information and strategies aimed at helping the region to transition from the
current punitive approach to plagiarism management to a culture of academic
integrity.
