Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The problems of combating corruption in the system of higher education have not been studied enough. The authors of earlier studies considered the problems of corruption based on traditional ideas about the zones of corruption risk, methods of recognizing signs of corruption, and their subject composition. Digital technologies being introduced into management and control impact the circumstances that contribute to the commission of corruption offenses at the university. The subject composition of offenses, the methods of their commission and concealment of traces, and the zones of corruption risks have changed because of digitalization. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to apply alternative approaches to the formation of a university anti-corruption policy. Corruption risk zones have moved from the department to services that ensure the introduction and application of digital technologies in the educational and scientific processes. Using previous methods of combating corruption in digitalization does not give the expected effect. The authors used formal-logical, comparative-legal, statistical, and other methods in the article.
