Academic dishonesty in higher education is a perverse problem affecting institutions of learning many countries across the globe. More alarmingly, numerous studies have pointed to increasing rates cheating and plagiarism over past few decades offering wide array explanations theories for this trend. A relatively new feature both discussion academic involves growing market online education. With...

Cheating on standardized tests has been a major concern as it potentially minimizes measurement precision. One major way to reduce cheating by collusion is to administer multiple forms of a test. Even with this approach, potential collusion is still quite large. A Latin-square treatment structure for distributing multiple forms is proposed to further reduce the colluding potential. An index to ...

We observe that MDS codes have interesting properties that can be used to construct ideal threshold schemes. These schemes permit the combiner to detect cheating, identify cheaters and recover the correct secret. The construction is later generalised so the resulting secret sharing is resistant against the Tompa-Woll cheating.

Cheating is a common type of misconduct in academia but not much research has been done on this subject, including Vietnam. It the responsibility educational institutions both to transfer knowledge and build their character values integrity. Increasing student academic cheating becomes essential background for research. The method uses survey questionnaire discover students' behavior triangle f...

It is well known that unconditionally secure bit commitment is impossible even in the quantum world. In this paper a weak variant of quantum bit commitment, introduced independently by Aharonov et al. [2] and Hardy and Kent [8] is investigated. In this variant, the parties require some nonzero probability of detecting a cheating, i.e. if Bob, who commits a bit b to Alice, changes his mind durin...

The evolution of reciprocal altruism probably involved the evolution of mechanisms to detect cheating and remember cheaters. In a well-known study, Mealey, Daood, and Krage (1996) observed that participants had enhanced memory for faces that had previously been associated with descriptions of acts of cheating. There were, however, problems with the descriptions that were used in that study. We ...

Given the recent and highly publicized scandals involving psychology researchers who cheated, the proliferation of articles on related topics is unsurprising. As an example, Simons et al. (2011) pointed out subtle ways in which researchers can increase their false positive rate above the nominal level of p < 0.05. From my perspective, a major limitation of the literature on cheating has been a ...
