Points of departure and developing good practices for responsible internationalization in a rapidly changing world
Account Res. 2024 Feb 14:1-7. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2318789. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResponsible internationalization is a term increasingly used to promote relationship building in a world shaped by the growing impact of global challenges and geopolitical competition. In these changing global conditions, researchers and universities have learned that they need to adhere to an expanded set of research norms. Today these norms include aspects well known to researchers, such as research integrity, academic freedom, openness, research excellence, and research ethics, but also newer aspects related to societal impac...

Identifying the factors influencing plagiarism in higher education: An evidence-based review of the literature
Account Res. 2024 Jan 30:1-16. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2311212. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study explores the major reasons for committing plagiarism, as reported in published literature. One hundred sixty-six peer-reviewed articles, which were retrieved from the Scopus database, were carefully examined to find out the research studies conducted to explore the most common reasons for academic cheating among students and researchers in different disciplines in higher education. A meta-analysis of collected literature reveals that 19 studies were conducted to identify the perceived reasons of committing pla...

Keeping the health of our home planet in mind as we do research
Account Res. 2024 Jan 27:1-3. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2310064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClimate change stood out as an important ethical issue that is contemplated, at least among early-stage researchers, in Buedo and colleagues' collected views on ethical issues in preclinical research. It is about time that all scientists and researchers, young or old, to stand to be accountable for our contributions toward environmental crises in our work, and conversely to think about how these crises could be mitigated by our research.PMID:38280193 | DOI:10.1080/08989621.2024.2310064 (Source: Accountability in Research)

The definition of research misconduct should be stated in the abstract when reporting research on research misconduct
Account Res. 2024 Jan 24:1-9. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2306538. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch integrity is the cornerstone for a reliable and trustworthy science. Research misconduct is classically defined as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism. To be considered as such, the action must have been committed with the intent to mislead or deceive. There are many other research misbehaviors such as duplication, fake-peer review or lack of disclosure of conflicts of interest, that are often included in the definition of research misconduct in codes, policies, and professional documents. The definition of resear...

Inverted U-Shaped relationship between team size and citation impact: Mediating role of responsibility diffusion
This study, therefore, quantified responsibility diffusion based on author contribution information and explored its mediating role in the relationship between collaboration size and citation impact (citation count in a four-year window). The results show the following: (1) An inverted U-shaped relationship exists between team size and citation count. (2) Responsibility diffusion plays a partial mediating role between team size and citation count. (3) As team size increases, the degree of responsibility diffusion increases. Lastly, (4) responsibility diffusion has an inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship with citation...

A structural equation model for cyber academic dishonesty in higher education: Evidence from Taiwan
This study investigates the structural relationship between cyber ethical climate, cyber self-efficacy, cyber ethical attitude and cyber academic dishonesty, among university and graduate students, and develops a multiple mediation model. A total of 812 university and graduate students from 32 universities in Taiwan completed the online questionnaire. The results of the study show that the multiple mediation model is valid and find that the cyber ethical climate creates a favorable context for organizing members to demonstrate cyber ethical behavior, demonstrating the importance of mutual influence on cyber academic dishon...
