Abstract

Currently, the practice of plagiarism in academic works by undergraduate and graduate students has been the subject of growing concern and identified by some as a common and commonplace act. Plagiarism in academic works by undergraduate and graduate students has been the object of growing concern and identified by some as a common and commonplace act. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze a conduct considered punishable in the criminal sphere, including laws that guide institutions to punitive measures. The methodology used was the bibliographic review on plagiarism, considered here a phenomenon with its complexity, which needs to be analyzed in an interdisciplinary way and not only in a legal way. In this question, it is concluded that theorists refer us to the discussion about ethics in research as a positive factor of analysis.
