Academic misconduct: Key texts 

Advising on practices
As with the literature on conceptions, the focus of practice advice is on plagiarism, rather than other forms of academic misconduct. Some of the following publications argue that plagiarism is on the increase; this may be balanced with a reading of, for example, Clegg and Flint (2006).

Carroll, J and Appleton, J (2001) Plagiarism: a good practice guide. Oxford Brookes University and Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) (online).
This guide includes advice on designing assessments, teaching approaches, as well as strategies for assuring authorship. It discusses misconduct, collusion and plagiarism.

The JISC Plagiarism Advisory Service at Northumbria University publishes an online collection of material on plagiarism prevention and detection. This includes practical advice, research papers and teaching materials. Briefing papers on practice include (direct links):

Liggett, A (2006) A framework for the appropriate use of plagiarism detection software. Nottingham Trent University.

Extensive advice and case examples on the interpretation of Turnitin reports are presented in this framework from the School of Social Sciences. 

Leask, B (2006) Plagiarism, cultural diversity and metaphor-implications for academic staff development. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education 31(2) 183–199.

This paper argues that plagiarism is a “culturally constructed concept” [183] and that “All students are to a large degree ‘cultural others’ seeking acceptance into the academic cultural community.” [187] The author compares the discourse of plagiarism to those of war and empire. The implication for practice is that it is suspect to single out cultural groupings of students as being more likely to plagiarise.  Recommendations are made to help lecturers engaged in intercultural discussions about plagiarism.

Many studies have indicated that referencing is a source of anxiety to students, particularly where there are small variations in preferred practice between lecturers (as opposed to disciplinary differences). Useful guides include:
