Why do students cheat? Is it because their secondary school preparation was not sufficient, or are they pursuing a university degree as a mere credential, without regard for how they obtain it? Why do faculty members and administrators ignore or pretend to ignore students’ misbehaviour? Are they overloaded with other duties and obligations or is teaching not no longer important (anymore) for their career advancement?
[[Joro_(Kyrgyzstan) | Arzuu Sheranova]] and Philipp Lottholz have published [https://crossasia-journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/iqas/article/view/14476 ''Governing, but not Producing Security? Internationalised Community Security Practices in Kyrgyzstan''] for the International Quarterly for Asian Studies.


Why do faculty members cheat? Why do they publish in “sham” journals, falsify data, employ professional [[ghostwriters]] or even steal papers submitted to them for review and publish them as their own? Were they actively cheating as students in the past, and never taught about academic integrity? Are they just under pressure to publish, otherwise their contracts will be not prolonged or they will be not promoted?
''2020''


The special issue deals with these and other relevant questions. We have contributions from both scholars and as well as practitioners covering different cheating techniques, from [[shpargalka]] to cheating involving technology, such as mobile phones or smart watches, and from simple ‘copying and pasting’ to more sophisticated ‘type-2 cheating’ or contract cheating. Some paper are based on a national context, some are comparative. We also have contributions discussing various forms of plagiarism and some of its consequences for the academia and beyond. Last but not least, the issue deals with possible remedies, measures, reforms and other initiatives aiming to mitigate cheating and plagiarism among students and faculty.

Corruption, fraud and other forms of unethical behaviour are problems that higher education faces in both developing and developed countries, at mass as well as elite universities. While academic misconduct is not new per se, its unprecedented dimensions, the growing challenge of mitigating and preventing it in many academic systems as well as its international aspect are rather new. This tendency requires more attention to be given to promoting ethics in higher education. Ethical behaviour in higher education is a very complex issue, however. It may be perceived differently by insiders and by outsiders; it is also deeply embedded into general institutional and cultural contexts, which makes the problem challenging for comparative analysis.
