  1. The infernal business of contract cheating: understanding the business processes and models of academic custom writing sites.David Randall, Ian Michael Zucker & Cath Ellis - 2018 - International Journal for Educational Integrity 14 (1).
    While there is growing awareness of the existence and activities of Academic Custom Writing websites, which form a small part of the contract cheating industry, how they work remains poorly understood. Very little research has been done on these sites, probably because it has been assumed that it is impossible to see behind their firewalls and password protection. We have found that, with some close scrutiny, it is indeed possible to find some ‘cracks’ in these sites through which we can (...)

  • Profiling the international academic ghost writers who are providing low-cost essays and assignments for the contract cheating industry.Thomas Lancaster - 2019 - Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society 17 (1):72-86.

  • Cheating in a dental practical exam.Graham Hendry, Susie Dracopoulos & Wendy Currie - 2017 - International Journal for Educational Integrity 13 (1).
    There is increasing attention given to academic integrity across university education and dental schools are not immune to this problem (Andrews et al. J Dent Educ 71; 1027–1039, 2007; Ford & Hughes Eur J Dent Educ 16(1):e180–e186, 2012). While there has been an increasing concern about academic dishonesty in written exams and assignments, there appears to be a false sense of security in the integrity of practical assessments, involving dental procedures on simulated patients.This paper will present a situational analysis of (...)
