Academic Integrity and Generative AI Research for Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract
Since the spring of 2023, when generative AI (GenAI) tools became available to the public and their use became widespread, the question of academic integrity in educational processes has been raised. GenAI has created conditions in which new situations arise at higher education levels (and eventually at other levels of education), and teaching and learning, as well as assessment, can be carried out with the help of GenAI. This review offers a detailed insight into the current research landscape and outlines future research needs to promote academic integrity and the ethical use of GenAI in higher education. By assessing articles published in 2023–2025 and indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, the review identifies the methods, research designs, and samples used, summarises the main directions for potential future research, and identifies research gaps. The systematic literature review identifies the qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods used in the study, such as interviews, surveys, case studies, and experimental designs. Study samples typically included students and academic staff, but often lacked cross-cultural perspectives and studies that explored academic integrity issues in depth. Research gaps were also identified, such as insufficient attention to the specificities of different disciplines and the long-term impact of GenAI technology.
