This chapter has demonstrated a downward trend in the prevalence of higher education students’ self‐reported plagiarism and cheating behavior in the 30 years 1990–2020. This downward trend is not attributable to a switch to commercial contract cheating, which appears to have remained at a steady, low prevalence in the past 30 years. However, there is evidence to suggest that text‐matching software, academic integrity and writing education, and honor codes may have contributed to the downward trend. Nonetheless, higher education teachers and administrators cannot afford to become complacent. The achievements of the past 30 years may not be permanent without continuing efforts to promote academic integrity and deal with emerging threats.
