Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, Academic and Research Integrity in Higher Education: A Bibliometric Analysis

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers considerable benefits to higher education, yet its adoption raises persistent concerns about ethics and academic and research integrity. Few studies have mapped this intersection bibliometrically. This study, therefore, analysed 213 journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 and indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, with record selection reported in accordance with PRISMA 2020.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2241 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
