👉 Excuse studies often take place in academic or research environments where scholars, researchers, and students engage in self-directed, critical inquiry into the social practices and norms surrounding academic dishonesty. These studies may occur in university libraries, research labs, or online platforms dedicated to academic ethics and integrity. They can also involve informal settings like study groups or workshops where participants discuss and analyze instances of academic misconduct. The environment is typically collaborative, interdisciplinary, and focused on understanding the complexities of academic integrity.
