Establishing and maintaining academic integrity has always been a focal point amongst all higher education organisations. A few studies have been designed to compare the efficacy of measures/procedures amongst different institutions. Some other attempts were also made to compare the procedures for academic misconduct investigations amongst different institutions about handling potential plagiarisms and/or academic misconducts. The aim of this workshop based investigation was to show the participants, the importance of pro-activeness and practical awareness to establish institutional procedures for handling potential plagiarism and/or academic dishonesty. We wanted to show the inconsistencies in the approaches of conducting academic investigations relating to plagiarism related misconducts. We have carried out a simple Google® search and selected publicly available institutional policies and procedures of five different international universities representing different geo- graphical representations. The comparison has highlighted the approaches to investigate plagia- rism or academic misconduct are varied amongst these universities. Some institutional policies have established clearly defined processes, others have vague and ambiguous procedures. The study has highlighted the importance of investigating institutional procedures in a comparative manner. In order to provide some recommendation of institutional policies and procedures, we would work closely with the European Network of Academic Integrity (ENAI), and other international stakeholders to expand this study in a larger scale.
