摘要：Maintaining academic integrity is important for today’s institutions of higher learning andthis involves academic staff responding to breaches by their students. Plagiarism bystudents (student plagiarism) continues to be an area of concern, especially with the useof the Internet to find, copy and, sometimes, pay for ready-made essays and assignments.This form of academic misconduct ultimately affects not only the students and academicstaff, but also the reputation of the institution itself and the integrity of its awards.Despite the need for consistency in addressing student plagiarism, it appears that theresponses of academic staff to student plagiarism remain varied and inconsistent. Thispaper seeks to systematically review the key findings from the literature over the pastthree decades on academic staff responses to student plagiarism in universities. Despitethe research showing that academic staff appear to respond to student plagiarism invaried and inconsistent ways, the factors and reasons why they do so remain unclear. It issuggested that more research to better understand academic staff and their identities,perceptions and belief systems may help find workable solutions to address theseinconsistencies.
