With this work, we seek to alert the academic community of our country on the particularities of this new “industry”, as well as to offer a model that details the complex transactions that occur during the cross-border of academic information as well as a gradation scale on the concept of academic fraud. We will present several recent unprecedented cases that show the seriousness of the issue. We will conclude by examining certain cases that show possible ambiguity in the marketing of supply in the Panamanian university system. These cases highlight the need in the country to have a regulator of the activities that occur within the local university sector. Likewise, these cases make evident the fact that our Academy must, as soon as possible, abandon its monolingualism and internationalize itself, in order to enhance its competitiveness and protect its good name.
