Summary:

Promoting academic integrity means acting with honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage (ICAI, 2021) in any activity related to academic work and avoiding any type of cheating or dishonest behavior even when the work is especially difficult. It is not an easy task and it should be a commitment of all: students, faculty, and institutions (see Figure 1). It involves a constant work of understanding regulations, communication, training, assessment, and promotion, but especially conviction of doing the right thing. When people talk about academic integrity, the first thing that comes to mind is to avoid copying and plagiarism, but integrity goes much further than that; it means to seek the highest standards of excellence and learning, put our values into action and be congruent between what we think, say and do. There are many benefits of academic integrity; just to mention a few, you create bonds of trust with your classmates and teachers, you fulfill your goals with good purpose, you take advantage of your time and money, and you give more value to your degree; but above all, you achieve the best version of yourself and contribute to a better society. Remember that to change something, we must first begin to change it in ourselves and lead by example. The same you expect from your teachers and classmates is the same that they expect from you. If you ask for integrity, you should start with yourself by having an upright demeanor. See academic integrity as your cover letter or business card; this will open doors for you to great professional and personal opportunities.
