Evidence¶

Albert Munoz 2026¶

Albert Munoz, Mercedez Hinchcliff, Cameron Langfield and Ann Rogerson. (2026). How strong is the evidence in generative AI-related academic misconduct allegations? A mixed-methods analysis. International Journal for Educational Integrity. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40979-026-00235-9

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Temporal analysis of coded evidence items found detector outputs nearly disappeared as submitted evidence; the article links this to "the growing institutional recognition that such outputs cannot discharge the balance of probabilities standard". Descriptive percentages only.

"Having grown from 5.8% of items in 2023 to 8.8% in 2024, AI-detection tool outputs fell to 0.5% in 2025 ( n = 5 in 2025)."
