Abstract
Despite the measures implemented by Spanish universities to combat malpractice and raise awareness among students and researchers, the reality may seem discouraging, as (i) students continue to plagiarise freely encouraged by an increasing volume of digital resources at their disposal; (ii) researchers face an extremely competitive and demanding university system with its own rules; and (iii) universities fail to tackle this socially rooted phenomenon. Although studies on academic integrity have a long tradition at the international level, this is not the case in Spain. However, since the 1990s, researchers have been working on this issue. However, they take undergraduate studies rather than postgraduate studies as their field of observation. And above all, they do not consider the world of research. Thus, when it comes to combating academic dishonesty, there is a growing gap between members of the academic community (students, researchers and institutions), which shows the lack of consensus on the issue. This article aims to describe how academic dishonesty is viewed in three worlds that coexist, but are independent of each other: students, researchers and institutions.
