About
I am an associate professor at the English Language Teaching Programme of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University (COMU)
, Türkiye where I train English as a foreign language teachers and offer graduate courses. I am the Founder Director of COMU Centre for Academic Integrity
and served as a Board member of the European Network for Academic Integrity
from 2017 to 2023. I have had the opportunity to deliver lectures in more than 20 countries all over the world. It has been a real pleasure for me to meet new people from various cultures. This personal webpage helps me introduce my research interests to people that I meet so that we can stay in touch.
I have published on various topics including nativization, teaching and assessing reading, metacognitive reading strategies, teaching and assessing academic writing, detecting and avoiding plagiarism, listening activities, teaching culture and intercultural communicative competence, and research culture. My recent research interest focuses mainly on detecting and preventing plagiarism in academic writing and in the last decade, I devoted my time for the promotion of academic integrity at a global manner. Relevant to this goal, I developed the transparent academic writing rubric
and have been struggling to prevent plagiarism through the anonymous multi-mediated writing model
, for which I was awarded the Turnitin Global Innovation Award
in 2015. My model was also listed as a good practice by the Australian Government Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency
in 2017. I am the convenor of the ‘4th Plagiarism across Europe and Beyond Conference’
and one of the editors of the book entitled ‘Towards consistency and transparency in academic integrity’
. I am the coordinator of the ongoing EU Erasmus+ KA2 project “Facing Academic Integrity Threats (FAITH)
”. I have published widely on academic integrity in System (1
& 2
), SAGE Open
, International Journal for Educational Integrity
, Journal of Academic Ethics
, Education and Information Technologies
, International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education
, and Times Higher Education
. I recently received the ENAI Outstanding Member Award
in 2023.
