Abstract:
The rapid technological developments of the last twenty years have been a catalyst in creating new avenues of academic dishonesty for both academician and other researchers. Although this vice has ravaged the academic and research communities for years, it has reached epidemic proportions because of the Internet. Academicians and researchers at every level are submitting works verbatim, most of such works downloaded from the Internet and falsifying and sexing up data. This article is part II in our two part series of articles discussing academic dishonesty. In this part we continue our discussion academic dishonesty but this time focusing on academicians and other researchers highlighting how the Internet has impacted these practices, the efforts being made to curb them and the effects they are having on society.View full Article
