“…Student cheating has been strongly correlated with the observation of others cheating (Fulks et al 2010;O'Rouke et al 2010;Rettinger & Kramer 2009). In this regard, theorists have suggested that the broader institutional culture must be targeted to promote the spirit of integrity (Imran & Nordin 2013;Piascik & Brazeau 2010) and that the dishonesty of academic faculty themselves must be addressed (Parameswaran 2007).…”

Prior to 2009, a mid-sized Keywords: academic honesty, faculty, administration, honor code he cheating epidemic in universities across the world is well documented, with recent research taking the problem as given and examining factors that contribute to cheating or whether the problem is getting worse. In the effort to develop policies to prevent student cheating, many studies have focused on factors correlated with academic dishonesty. These factors broadly include individual student characteristics (age, gender, grade-point average, and membership in a fraternity or sorority), perceptions about the cheating of peers, whether professors are clear in defining cheating, and perceptions about the likelihood of being caught for cheating and the severity of penalties if caught. The research presented in this article contributes to the literature by focusing on changes in faculty vigilance and attitudes, rather than focusing on students, following the imposition of an honor code.While there is a growing consensus that cheating is a problem on academic campuses, the more difficult as well as more interesting topics may be causes and prevention methods.

Background: There has been an increase in academic dishonesty among nursing students. Reasons for this increase are due in part to greater demands on nursing students and ready availability of technology that facilitates these behaviours. The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in a journal club would impact nursing students' perceptions and behaviours regarding academic dishonesty. This issue needs attention because it impacts professional integrity.
