ACCOUNTING EDUCATION: an international journal (The official education journal of the IAAER) CALL FOR PAPERS Academic Dishonesty Accounting Education: an international journal invites submissions for a themed issue on the topic of academic dishonesty (i.e., cheating behaviour and other forms of inappropriate conduct).  The public expects accountants to exhibit complete honesty, reliability and ethical behaviour, and generally exercise fiduciary responsibility to protect clients’ assets.  However, events and widespread accounting scandals over the past decade have shaken the public trust in accounting professionals.   Moreover, questionable workplace behaviour may be a consequence of students’ attitudes to cheating.   The potential ramifications of this cycle of unethical behaviour are enormous and deserving of additional inquiry.   Submissions should be original work which investigates some aspect of academic dishonesty among undergraduate and/or graduate accounting students, or the link between unethical student and workplace behaviour.  The guest editors are amenable to quality research in any paradigm including, for example, field or experimental investigations, archival or survey research, interpretive or critical studies and case study research.  Curbing academic dishonesty is a global challenge, so we also encourage international studies.  The following list is indicative of topics of interest but is not intended to be exhaustive: • Psychological antecedents of cheating • Prevalence of specific cheating behaviours • The influence of honour codes • Cheating rationalizations • Cheating behaviour models • The role of the Internet in unethical behaviour • The association between student  and workplace cheating • Effective mitigation strategies • Plagiarism   • Academic Integrity Issues Among Faculty and/or Administrators The deadline for submissions is 30 November 2010, with publication currently scheduled for 2011.  Early submissions are welcome, and potential contributors are encouraged to notify us of their interest.  Submissions should be made electronically in accordance with AE’s policies and style and sent to either guest editor: Guest Editors Professor  Malcolm Smith School of Accounting, Finance & Economics Edith Cowan University, Western Australia malcolm.smith@ecu.edu.au Professor Kenneth J.
