Educating for academic integrity: effectiveness of a digital resource on plagiarism awareness among postgraduate bioscience students

This dataset links to a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning study which the research team conducted from February 2024 to October 2025 to evaluate student perceptions of a Moodle-based academic integrity training resource, ‘Good Academic Practice in the Biosciences’. The study received ethical approval from the MVLS ethics committee (see later for detail). We conducted an online survey using Qualtrics with closed (Lickert-style) and open-ended questions as part of the research to collect both quantitative and qualitative data.

The survey was fully anonymous and so the data files comprise:

1. A Word document of Qualtrics survey questions
2. An Excel file of full exported data from Qualtrics.
3. The SPSS database file of Lickert-style data.
4. Output files of statistical analyses performed in SPSS.
5. Excel file of semi-quantitative data analyses of open-ended responses
6. Excel file of qualitative analyses of open-ended responses
7. Prepared manuscript files
