Exploring how emerging technologies — including but not limited to artificial intelligence, neuroanalytics, digital twins, and data‑driven decision systems — are reshaping what it means to learn, teach, and conduct research ethically.
Academic freedom and integrity
Examining the tensions between safeguarding academic freedom and ensuring responsible, ethical research and teaching practices, including issues of censorship, political pressure, threats to institutional autonomy, freedom of speech, and the role of misinformation and fake news in academia.
Accountability and institutional responsibility
Analysing mechanisms for preventing and addressing misconduct, and clarifying the responsibilities of universities, research organisations, publishers, funders, and other stakeholders.
Ethical publishing and dissemination
Addressing ethical challenges across the research lifecycle from multiple perspectives (publishers, editors, reviewers, librarians, institutions, and authors), including the use of AI in scholarly publishing, authorship responsibility, publication pressure, precarity and job insecurity, predatory publishing practices, essay mills, citation manipulation, and authorship for sale.
Postplagiarism and the changing landscape of authorship
Moving beyond the traditional “copy‑paste” paradigm to explore new understandings of authorship, originality, and collaboration in contexts shaped by AI‑assisted writing, remix culture, and collective knowledge production.
Ethical teaching of sensitive topics in the age of AI
Investigating pedagogical approaches to teaching sensitive or contested subjects — such as history, politics, or social justice — including the ethical implications of AI‑generated content, censorship, bias, and hallucinations.
Education and training in ethics and integrity
Presenting innovative practices, programmes, and empirical research related to education, professional development, and capacity‑building in ethics and academic integrity.
Academic integrity in hybrid and online education
Examining integrity challenges in digital and blended learning environments, including new forms of misconduct, ethical implications of online proctoring, and balancing student privacy with assessment integrity.
