New Content ItemThis Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 4: Quality Education.

About the Collection

This Collection examines the intersection of academic integrity and human rights, focusing on how institutions can uphold ethical standards while ensuring dignity (see Eaton, 2024), fairness, and inclusion (see Davis, 2022). We invite research exploring how misconduct investigations affect diverse student populations, strategies for creating more equitable academic integrity procedures, and interventions that balance upholding standards with supporting education and attainment for all students. Of particular interest are studies addressing over-representation of marginalized groups in misconduct cases, the psychological impact of investigations, and practices that incorporate human-rights-by-design approaches to academic integrity.
We welcome empirical studies, theoretical analyses, case studies, policy reviews, and scholarly essays grounded in evidence. We encourage contributions from diverse global perspectives, educational contexts, and disciplinary backgrounds.

There are currently no articles in this collection.
