New OA journal on academic integrity
The International Journal for Educational Integrity is a new peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Asia Pacific Forum on Educational Integrity. The inaugural issue (December 2005) is now online. From the web site:
The journal challenges readers to consider the changing nature of education in a globalised environment, and the impact that conceptions of educational integrity have on issues of pedagogy, academic standards, intercultural understanding and equity. Articles of interest to the IJEI readership may include but are not limited to the following areas as they relate to educational integrity: plagiarism, cheating, academic integrity, honour codes, teaching and learning, university governance and student motivation. Submissions may include original research (including practitioner research), theoretical discussions and review papers....This journal provides open access to all of its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Such access is associated with increased readership and citation levels. The journal uses open source software, developed by the Public Knowledge Project, to help make open access economically viable, as well as to improve the scholarly and public quality of research. |
