Ian,
I too have found the ILT references on plagiarism of great interest.
I am sorry I can't help you with the references, but, I do have a Masters
dissertation from Hong Kong which looked at the study ethics of students on
Hong Kong degree courses. The work found that - in summary - as students
progress through the first and second years and get closer to their final
year, they are far more likely to plagiarise and to adopt 'unethical'
practices - tearing out journal pages, refusal to share key
passages/references, the hiding of library books and plagiarism.
I can send a copy of the work if you would like

Subject: plagiarism and cheating
Colleagues
I have read a number of excellent articles on the above topic recently,
not least from the ILT web site. However, in discussion, a colleague told
me that research shows students cheat less in group work than their
individual assignments. Another colleague told me that most plagiarism
and cheating occurs during the final 10% of time prior to submission.
However, I can't find any references to either of these claims. Can
anyone enlighten me, please?
Regards
Ian
