Plagiarism can be seen as a literacy academic matter related to academic writing difficulties. The main goal of the current study was to develop and validate a questionnaire that would measure the perception of college students about their consulting, citation, comprehension, and writing from sources competencies. The study included 202 undergraduate students. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted using principal components analysis, having being found: three factors for comprehension strategies scale (selection, organization and integration); three factors for writing strategies scale (planning, revision, and “think-then-do”); three for writing from sources strategies scale (copy, patchwriting/paraphrase, and summary); two for consulting strategies scale (elementary, elaborated). The citation norms knowledge scale showed a good fidelity. The questionnaire developed will be essential in future research aiming to study the relationship between plagiarism and literacies competencies.
