Introduction Contract cheating, a term originally coined by Clarke and Lancaster (2006 Clarke, R., and T. Lancaster. 2006. “Eliminating the Successor to Plagiarism? Identifying the Usage of Contract Cheating Sites.” Proceedings of 2nd International Plagiarism Conference, Newcastle, UK. [Google Scholar]), describes the process where a student outsources completion of the work they should be doing for themselves to a third party. It can be considered as the monetisation of the student assessment market.
