The article analyzes the determinants of academic dishonesty in the educational and scientific process. The author distinguishes four levels of such factors, in particular, general civilizational (development of technologies, including artificial intelligence, which involves significant human and material resources; low moral and spiritual development of the population due to the prevalence of material values and the functioning of the education system aimed at transferring knowledge to students and insufficient attention to the formation of a value worldview); national (insufficient formation of a reputational culture in the society, when reputation is not one of the most important criteria for assessing an individual specialist or organization, but focusing on formal, often quantitative indicators; tolerant attitude to cheating, borrowing other people's texts and ideas without proper registration; the existing practice of imitation and falsification of research and development; changing requirements for applicants for academic degrees and academic titles without providing mechanisms for material support for applicants and young scientists; lack of real punishment for violation of academic integrity standards); institutional (formal requirements in educational institutions and scientific institutions) lack of effective mechanisms for monitoring compliance with academic integrity by participants in the educational and scientific process; insufficient level of material support for the educational process and research; overload of applicants, researchers and research and teaching staff with different types of work and employment); personal (lack of motivation to study or work; the need for high achievements is not supported by a sufficient level of culture and moral qualities; insufficient understanding by applicants of the importance of compliance with academic integrity standards) and connection with their own competitiveness in the labor market; lack of awareness, lack of knowledge of the norms and rules of academic integrity; pursuit of selfish motives, such as an enrichment, a high social status, approval, etc.).
