Abstract

In the digital age, academic plagiarism has reached new characteristics and a worrying dimension, with cyber-plagiarism being its most aggravated manifestation. This dishonest practice has taken root among university students when carrying out their academic work. It is a complex phenomenon, with multiple associated and interrelated elements, hence the research techniques have been varied, emphasizing the use of self-descriptive instruments (scales and questionnaires). Although most have been validated, evaluating the quality of their psychometric properties in correspondence with the new study population is essential to avoid improvisation. This article describes the process of adaptation, validation and reliability of a questionnaire to analyze cyberplagiarism in university academic papers. For its development, the methodological sequence of Lacave et al. (2015). Psychometric validation tests were applied to analyze their reliability and validity, obtaining adequate results. In addition, the Exploratory Factor Analysis made it possible to specify a questionnaire made up of 5 factors and 29 items. Its application will allow analyzing the situation of cyber plagiarism in university academic works, allowing not only to describe the phenomenon, but also to establish a causal relationship between the factors. It will be an important contribution to achieve an approach to the state of the question in the Cuban context, where the problem has been little explored.
