摘要：

Sixty Ethiopian academic staff were surveyed to examine the state and gravity of academic misconduct in exam sessions in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Ethiopia. The questionnaire was administered using an electronic mail (email), and the significance and potential of using this method has been described. The findings are analyzed and the state of academic dishonesty in Ethiopian HEIs established; a broader and comparative overview of the problem is also presented. The repercussions of pervasive academic malpractice in a nation are discussed within the context of a family of the international academic and knowledge network. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
