This chapter examines academic integrity through the theoretical framework of informality—an umbrella concept referring to a socially and culturally complex set of unwritten rules, open secrets, and hidden practices that are particularly challenging for outsiders to access or comprehend (Ledeneva, A. (Ed.). The global encyclopaedia of informality. Vols. I and II. UCL Press, 2018a). In addition to discussing the recent outcomes of informality research, including on academic corruption, the chapter highlights the potential significance of the concept for academic integrity and outlines further developments in the field.
