I am reading geography papers and I am confused about academic dishonesty!
What do you mean?
Well, a tweak here and there or half-baked research seem to get published like wildfire!
True! And article retraction is also increasing!
Always remember two things about the business
It isn't academic dishonesty until you get caught!
... Academic dishonesty is socially constructed, and gets meaning from the local tribe!
Are you saying that I should try not to get caught, and hang out with the right social tribe?
No, I didn't say that, you said it!!
Notes:
Academic Dishonesty - The intended/unintended act of misrepresenting data, information or knowledge in an academic setting. Violations include plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, bribery, sabotage, etc.
