Using freely available tools to produce a partially automated plagiarism detection process
نویسندگان
چکیده
An increasing reliance on commercial tools for non-originality investigation of student submissions is taking academic integrity beyond its comfortable zone. There is no guarantee if such tools will continue to be available and, if they are, that they will be available at a reasonable price. Further the technical underpinning of such tools is unclear and has not been made publicly available. This may present problems if subsequently an academic misconduct investigation is started. Moreover, existing tools may not be the best suited to any given circumstance.
