Papers for Pay: Confessions of an Academic Forger

By Jeffrey Alfred Ruth

A disturbing trend faces education in the U.S.--not plagiarism but academic forgery (students purchasing and signing their names to work produced by others). This book, by a former professional forger, describes the difference between the two and presents case studies along with an expose of the trade. The author provides a thorough treatment of the topic and reveals the serious implications for the future of academia. Educators should educate themselves about forgery and join the conversation about solving the problem.
