Emerson, Smith Research Named ‘Most Important’
A study by Drs. David Emerson and Kenneth Smith of the Accounting and Legal Studies Department was named the “Best, Most Important Research in 2021” by The Cheat Sheet, a news digest covering research and developments related to academic integrity.
Published in the December edition of the Journal of Accounting Education, their paper, “Online Cheating at the Intersection of the Dark Triad and Fraud Diamond,” examined academic misconduct and fraud relating to the use of assignment assistance websites, which often provide access to test banks and homework solutions.
“It’s the rare research that gets to why students cheat and is invaluable in its assessment and advice to academic leaders,” said Cheat Sheet editor Derek Newton. “They find that academic misconduct is often a calculated, rationalized act and that being able to justify the deed is essential to acting on cheating impulses or opportunities.”
Emerson also discussed the research on an episode of The Score podcast, devoted to exploring issues of academic integrity. The paper is available at .
