“The Cheat Sheet” was envisioned as a place that could share and collect information on academic integrity.
The sharing has been easy and surprisingly successful as our subscriber numbers and influence grow.
The collecting of information has been ongoing as each Issue contains notes, news, research digests and other information on academic integrity from around the world. Making that collected intelligence findable has been challenging.
Accordingly, I have started to add hashtags to Issues based on the content in that issue. It’s an imperfect solution and subjective. Here is a list of the # we are using.
