About
About Integrity Shelf
Integrity Shelf is a reading list of research on academic integrity for teachers, lecturers and integrity staff. Each paper gets a short card in plain English: what the study looked at, what its authors report, and where its limits lie.
A card is written from a paper's title and abstract alone, so treat it as a pointer to the paper, not a replacement for it. Findings belong to the authors, and one study rarely settles a question. This is a trial version: the name, the list and the wording may all change.
What a card tells you
- The summary: what the study asked and what its authors report.
- For teaching: what a teacher might take from it. Some papers have nothing for the classroom, and their cards say nothing here.
- What it looked at and its limits: who took part, where, and what the study cannot tell you.
- Free to read: a copy anyone can open without a subscription. Every card also links to the publisher's page.
Citation counts
A paper's page says how many times other papers have cited it, and when that number was read. A count measures attention, not quality, and newer papers have had less time to be cited.
Where the details come from
Titles, authors, journals, dates and citation counts come from OpenAlex, an open index of research, whose data is released under CC0. Authors appear as each paper lists them, and no abstract is reproduced. If a detail of your paper is wrong, or you would like it removed, contact details will appear on the privacy page before the site leaves its preview address.
