Highlights:

• We compare digital vs. non-digital cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, facilitation.

• Ethical Dissonance is found between the dishonesty pervasiveness and legitimacy.

• The pervasiveness of dishonesty is higher than the perception of its legitimacy.

• Plagiarism is the most common and legitimate type of digital academic dishonesty.

• Cheating and fabrication are the most common and legitimate non-digital dishonesty.
