This research intended to find out how Greek higher education students acknowledged or practiced the act of plagiarism. 100 respondents replied online to 25 questions. Data analysis revealed students´ uncertainty on several aspects of plagiarism and ethical issues. The findings formulate the need of mobile web tools to educate and detect students´ academic integrity.
