Highlights

I am pleased to introduce the issue of the International Journal for Educational Integrity
Daniel Wueste, Director of the Rutland Institute for Ethics, and Teddi Fishman, Director of the recently renamed International Center for Academic Integrity, provide a framing piece for the issue, with their paper from 4APCEI which explores the limitations of customer service approaches in higher education
Working with a sample of 113 masters and doctoral students from three university sites, representing technology, engineering, mathematics, or mathematics or science education, the researchers examined students’ research proposals and conducted semi-structured interviews. Their key finding was that while plagiarism was a prevalent issue, this appeared to be largely unintentional due to a lack of disciplinary enculturation. This lack of disciplinary enculturation was further compounded for English as a Second Language (ESL) students at the pre-proposal stage, who had to grapple with cultural differences, English language issues and a variety of other factors
