Sikhi's wisdom, ethics and (de)radicalisation : decolonizing the mind through disidentification and circular thinking
Full text linkCan publication standards be lowered during a pandemic?
Full text linkThe peer-review system is the guarantee of the quality of publications. It has its flaws and is sometimes contested, but we have no better alternative. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to an increased demand from researchers, journalists and citizens for rapid information. How have scientific journals evolved to rapidly disseminate research data that is as valid as possible? The number of manuscript submissions has doubled or tripled compared to similar periods in 2019 for most journals. Editorial boards were faced with unexpected volumes of articles to review, with a shortage of reviewers, in an environment of competition between researchers and journals to publish quickly. New sections have been created, peer-review has been accelerated and even simplified, with open access publications. Questionable research practices were observed; prestigious journals published articles whose quality standards were no longer those of normal times. Journals were manipulated with the complicity of the scientific community. These practices show that open science principles and declarations such as the Singapore Declaration on Research Integrity have little impact on the behaviour of some researchers
The ethics of scholarly publishing and academic social media : an odd couple?
Full text linkThe chapter addresses the issue of the ethics of scientific publication to academic social media. This new approach allows us to highlight two important issues in the mutation of internalities and externalities in the course of scientific communication. First, the strategies by which new actors in scientific publication, originating from the Web, seize the principles of Open Access to reformulate them and subordinate them to their own development and monetisation strategies. Secondly, the functionalities and services developed contribute to introducing a new media dynamic into researchers' practices. These raise ethical issues because of their incompatibility with the normative values of science
Academic integrity at the University of Montenegro : pathway to certification
Full text linkAcademic dishonesty is one of the major challenges in higher education. In developed countries, higher education institutions have, for some years now, begun to put in place strategies and mechanisms to combat academic misconduct. In developing countries, such as Montenegro, the formalisation of processes to strengthen academic integrity is a relatively new concern. In this paper, we will analyse the framework for the development of a determined academic integrity strategy, which resulted in the international certification of the University of Montenegro. Based on the literature review on academic integrity and using the case analysis method, we highlight the steps in the certification process. We will show how the holistic approach that has been adopted strengthens the culture of academic integrity
Didactic evolution of similarity detection software : the example of Compilatio
Full text linkSince 2005, Compilatio has been offering tools to help detect and prevent plagiarism. Users of similarity detection software were initially attracted by the ability to track down cheaters. They are now more aware of the tools and services offered to create an environment that encourages the adoption of integrity and citizenship values, especially digital ones. They are aware that plagiarism is not a passing evil to be eradicated, but a deep-seated temptation that each individual must learn to overcome. The technology used to help teachers spot cheating has also evolved. The approach was initially syntactic, comparing texts formally to detect similarities. It then became semantic, using so-called artificial intelligence techniques to find similarities between different words with the same meaning. The issues related to plagiarism prevention illustrate how technology and pedagogy can be used together to train individuals for their future professional and civic life

Challenging violence, building a culture of peace : experiences and lessons from the Center for Peace Education-Miriam College
Full text linkThe Philippines is faced with various threats to peace and security: poverty, economic instability, violent extremism, inequality, war, community, and gender-based violence, among others. In 2020, the country ranked 129th of 163 in the World Peace Index, due primarily to high levels of internal conflict, extrajudicial killings, militarization, and vulnerability to the climate crisis. The Center for Peace Education (CPE)-Miriam College is an advocacy center that promotes the building of a culture of peace through its education, advocacy, women and youth organizing, and networking programs. CPE's theory of change is that reduction of violence and a culture of peace can be achieved when people develop the will to address local and global problems, have the skills to resolve conflicts, and work collaboratively and nonviolently for justice, equality and human dignity. This article describes how peace education, interfaith dialogue, advocacy for arms control and disarmament, and the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security and Youth, Peace and Security Agenda have helped change mindsets and attitudes of indifference, passivity and aggression to those supportive of action that will challenge various forms of violence. Data used were drawn from interviews, project evaluations, surveys, focus group discussions, tracer studies, and personal observations and experiences
