“…A review of the literature reveals considerable research in the area of academic misconduct (Awasthi 2019). In recent years, much of this work has focused on attitudes and perceptions towards academic misconduct (Ahmed 2018;Bašić et al 2019;Finchilescu and Cooper 2018;Khoii and Atefi 2019;Lindahl and Grace 2018;Tindall and Curtis 2020), often in specific professional or disciplinary groups (Abdulghani et al 2018;Birks et al 2018;Brown et al 2019;Cronan et al 2018;Ewing et al 2019;Kiekkas et al 2020;Mohamed et al 2018) or in respect of the influence of gender (Bokosmaty et al 2019;Jereb et al 2018;Zhang et al 2018).…”

Academic misconduct is a problem of growing concern across the tertiary education sector. While plagiarism has been the most common form of academic misconduct, the advent of software programs to detect plagiarism has seen the problem of misconduct simply mutate. As universities attempt to function in an increasingly complex environment, the factors that contribute to academic misconduct are unlikely to be easily mitigated. A multiple case study approach examined how academic misconduct is perceived in universities in in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom via interviews with academics and administrators. The findings show that academic misconduct is a systemic problem that manifests in various ways and requires similarly diverse approaches to management. Greater consistency in policies and procedures, including a focus on preventative education for both staff and students, is key to managing the mutations of academic misconduct that continue to plague the higher education sector globally.

Plagiarism is a grave concern among academicians and researchers in higher education. Due to this issue, many academicians and researchers have faced unwanted penalties. In Bangladesh, newspapers publish news on plagiarism or academic dishonesty done by students, researchers, and academicians at the higher education level. This paper aims at investigating the factors influencing teachers’ perceptions of plagiarism in higher education in Bangladesh. The researchers used a qualitative research design to answer the research question: What are the perceptions of English teachers about plagiarism at the tertiary level in Bangladesh? For the collection of data, an in-depth interview guide was used to interview 10 English teachers who have ample experience in research and thesis supervision. The data found through the in-depth interview was analyzed thematically. The thematic analysis of the in-depth interviews revealed that the absence of writing courses, the absence of mentioning plagiarism in the course outline, negligence by the teachers and students, the non-existence of plagiarism policy at the institution level, absence of any plagiarism detection software, etc. influence academic writing misconduct. The study ends with a few effective recommendations for reducing plagiarism in higher education for individual and institutional academic behavior in Bangladesh.
