Abstract
We have conducted a survey of UK academics who teach programming on computing courses, in order to establish what is understood to constitute source-code plagiarism in an undergraduate context. The responses to the survey revealed that although there is a wide agreement between academics on the issue of what can constitute source-code plagiarism, some academics have expressed important issues concerned with source-code reuse, and self-plagiarism that need to be addressed in order to create a universally acceptable description on source-code plagiarism. In this paper we present the most important findings from the survey and suggest a description of what can constitute source-code plagiarism from a UK academic perspective.
