Self-plagiarism is discouraged by academia, but there is a doubt if it is an offense or is it just an ethical infraction. This work seeks to answer this question, for which an exploratory research was used, using bibliographic and documentary methods. The relationship between self-plagiarism and copyright, good faith, obligatory relationships and legal custom was analyzed. It was concluded that the repression of self-plagiarism is a legal custom within academic institutions, as well as a violation of good faith and may constitute a violation of the obligatory relationship. Thus, within these contexts, self-plagiarism can be considered an illicit act, but in other situations, it may only be an ethical violation.
