OverviewAcademic integrity is key to the reputation of higher education institutions. Plagiarism, the most frequently occurring form of academic misconduct, poses a significant threat to the maintenance of academic integrity globally, but it has received very little attention in the research literature of the Caribbean. This volume aims to lift the blanket of silence that surrounds plagiarism in the region by examining students’ perception of plagiarism, as well as its prevalence in society generally, and at both the secondary and tertiary levels. It also examines accreditation agencies’ treatment of academic integrity in their policies. This work is valuable to higher education administrators, faculty and students. It provides the first in-depth examination of plagiarism regionally, and includes relevant information and strategies aimed at helping the region to transition from the current punitive approach to plagiarism management to a culture of academic integrity.
