Academic integrity is key to the reputationof higher education institutions. Plagiarism, the most frequently occurringform of academic misconduct, poses a signi?cant threat to the maintenance ofacademic integrity globally, but it has received very little attention in theresearch literature of the Caribbean. This volume aims to lift the blanket ofsilence that surrounds plagiarism in the region by examining students’perception of plagiarism, as well as its prevalence in society generally, andat both the secondary and tertiary levels. It also examines accreditationagencies’ treatment of academic integrity in their policies. This work isvaluable to higher education administrators, faculty and students. It providesthe ?rst in-depth examination of plagiarism regionally, and includes relevantinformation and strategies aimed at helping the region to transition from thecurrent punitive approach to plagiarism management to a culture of academicintegrity.
I am pleased that Dr. Ruth Baker-Gardnerreached out to me to write the foreword for this first book about academicintegrity in the Caribbean area. I have been active in academic integrity since2008 with most recently being the president of the International Center forAcademic Integrity (ICAI) from 2020 to 2023.
I firstinteracted with Dr. Baker-Gardner in the summer of 2018 as she was justbeginning writing this book. She was contacting me as a leader in the ICAI withthe hope to be able to share her ideas for this book with other members at thespring, 2019 annual conference. I then had the pleasure of meeting Dr.Baker-Gardner in person at that conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, UnitedStates, in March 2019 as she presented the beginnings of this work. We havesince continued our connection as I have remained in the leadership of ICAI.
During this timeperiod (2018–2020), there was little to no writing about academic integrity inthe Caribbean. The ICAI strives for an international presence; however, Dr.Baker-Gardner was our first contact with the Caribbean. With that being said,her work in this book is monumental while also showing her extreme dedicationto the field.
As you willnote, this book gives a thorough overview of what academic integrity is andprovides an understanding of plagiarism including its detection andconsequences. This is followed by research to show the actual areas of concernregarding plagiarism in the Caribbean, and concludes with practical tips andrecommendations for institutions to uphold academic integrity.
Dr.Baker-Gardner has followed the mission of the ICAI by explaining academicintegrity in terms of the six fundamental values and having the goal forinstitutions to create a culture of integrity. Tricia Bertram Gallant (2011) inher white paper entitled Building a Culture of Academic Integrity: Based on theMagna Online Seminar, ‘Helping Students Learn from Ethical Failures,’ explainsthe change of approach to academic integrity over time. When academic integrity accountability firstbegan, the approach was one of rule compliance, focusing on following rules ina judicial or legalistic way. Over time, the approach of most academicintegrity enforcement offices has moved to an integrity approach, focusing onthe values, honour and ethics of a student. This approach tends to be moreeducational and proactive. Dr. Baker-Gardner successfully defends thiseducational approach and gives readers practical ways to implement it at theirown institution.
While Dr.Baker-Gardner’s background is focused on the Caribbean, readers from all overthe world will benefit from her writing. The ICAI does not promote one specificstructure to hold individuals accountable, but ICAI does highly encourageinstitutions to have some way to do so. As Dr. Baker-Gardner explains, thisstructure must bring in the voices of students, faculty and administrators totruly create a culture of integrity.
In conclusion,it is clear that Dr. Baker-Gardner has written this book not for it to sit onthe bookshelves of researchers or administrators. This book has been written toshow the concerns specifically in the Caribbean, but then is a call for allreaders across the globe to make real change at their own institutions based onthe practical advice and examples she gives. I encourage you as a reader totake notes and attempt to make those changes in order to continue to enhanceand promote the fundamental values of academic integrity and build a culture ofcommunity.

KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
