Résumé
La frecuencia de la deshonestidad académica en las universidades suele destacarse con el porcentaje del estudiantado que admite uno o más comportamientos asociados en las encuestas realizadas. Los resultados se tienden a magnificar y comparar sin tomar en cuenta varios asuntos metodológicos que merecen mayor análisis y que se exponen en este trabajo: (a) las preguntas en el cuestionario administrado, (b) el modo de reportar la frecuencia de comportamientos de deshonestidad académica, (c) el marco temporal de las preguntas, (d) el tamaño de la muestra y (e) la administración del instrumento. Revisamos 38 informes de encuestas realizadas en 23 países, publicadas entre los años 1970 y 2020, considerando estos asuntos. Estos generan la diversidad de porcentajes reportados y que requieren atención y prudencia en la información provista acerca de la frecuencia o incidencia de comportamientos asociados a la deshonestidad académica en el estudiantado universitario.
