A Wraparound Approach to Academic Integrity: Centering Students in the Postplagiarism Era


I am trying out SSRN. I feel like this is something I should have known about long ago. Last year, one of the doctoral students whom I supervise, Myke Healy, posted a paper about academic integrity in secondary schools on SSRN. (It’s a really good ready, by the way.)

Then, a research team that I’m on posted our rapid review protocol pre-print on assessment, academic integrity, and artificial intelligence on SSRN. Myke is on our team and posted the paper on our behalf.

On my recent travels, I was listening to Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast, Revisionist History. In one of episodes (I forget which one exactly), Gladwell raves about SSRN. I mean, gushes.

I thought to myself, “Well, it seems the universe is asking me to pay attention to SSRN.” So, I did.

I got working on a paper that had been sort of lingering for a couple of years. (Yes, a couple of years. Good work takes time!) I unpacked the ideas, developed the argument, referenced people whose contributions influenced and shaped my thinking and got it formatted.

So, I’ve now posted my first paper on SSRN:
Eaton, S. E. (2025). A Wraparound Approach to Academic Integrity: Centering Students in the Postplagiarism Era (April 20, 2025). SSRN. https://doi.org/http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5223911

I’m not really sure what happens next. There doesn’t really seem to be a place for folks to comment on the paper, though you can download it and add it to your library. I guess the next step is to submit it to a journal and go from there.

If you use SSRN and have tips on how to make the most of it, feel free to share. I’m learning as I go and I’m all ears.
