The impact of this revolution has permeated various spheres, including the education sphere and has brought both positive and negative incidences. Among the positive ones, it is important to highlight a greater coverage, new models of teaching-learning, and more flexibility, all these features contribute to the universalization of education.  Unfortunately, the cyberspace in the educational process has generated deep changes in behavior of students and teachers, in their habits and values, and not all of these changes have been beneficial. Some behaviors that undermine ethics have become popular, being the plagiarism one of them.The aim of this paper is to analyze the university plagiarism problem. We present a review of the regulations and laws on copyright and we make an analysis on the impact of plagiarism. Finally, we propose a series of actions that universities can implement to counteract this problem. La revolución en las comunicaciones ha generado una importante transformación en el ser humano (Adell, 1997). En esta nueva era,  la importancia radica en el capital humano, en lo que éste capta del entorno y verifica, en su capacidad para obtener la información y transformarla en conocimiento (Cordeiro, 1998; Consejo Pontificio para las Comunicaciones Sociales, 2002). El impacto de esta revolución ha permeado diversos ámbitos, entre ellos el educativo y ha traído consecuencias tanto positivas como negativas. Entre las positivas se destacan mayor cobertura, nuevos modelos de   enseñanza-aprendizaje y mayor flexibilidad, todas ellas características necesarias para contribuir a la  universalización de la educación. Lastimosamente, la incorporación del ciberespacio en el proceso educativo también  ha hecho evidentes  profundos cambios en el comportamiento de los estudiantes y  docentes, en sus costumbres y valores, y  no todas estas transformaciones han sido benéficas. Algunos comportamientos que atentan contra la ética se han popularizado, el plagio es uno de ellos.El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la problemática del plagio en el ámbito universitario. Se presenta una revisión de la normatividad relativa a derechos de autor y se hace un análisis sobre el impacto del plagio.  Finalmente, se propone una serie de medidas que pueden asumir las facultades y universidades para contrarrestar esta problemática. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/669 10.34096/ics.i30.669 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/669/1053 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 30 (2014); 127-137 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 30 (2014); 127-137 1851-1740 1514-8327 Copyright Imitate Copy Plagiarism Fraud Professional ethics Colombia Derechos de autor Imitación Copia Plagio Fraude Ética profesional Colombia University Students and the Information Society: A Blend which Facilitates Academic Plagiarism in Colombian Classrooms Los estudiantes universitarios y la sociedad de la información: una combinación que ha facilitado el plagio académico en las aulas colombianas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=669_oai
