Academic fraud is always a question of authorship – or more specifically, it is the disarticulation of authorship from the copyright artefact, the luxation of the author’s own intellectual creation and its expression. Academic fraud turns the prestige of authorship into a commodity and sets it afloat in a sea of anonymous and unanchored objects. Whether such fraud concerns plagiarism, or paper mills, or the mainstreaming of generative-AI and similar routes to text, these forms of ‘acquired’ authorship detach authorship from the wider process of knowledge generation and stewardship.
