A Review of Electronic Services for Plagiarism Detection in Student Submissions

چکیده
Student plagiarism is an ever-increasing problem for academic institutions. A growing number of students are using material from the Web in their submissions, without properly acknowledging the source. This paper reviews the need for widespread plagiarism detection systems and evaluates available Web based detection services. Four services are discussed: the Measure of Software Similarity (MOSS) service for program source code and the plagiarism.org, Integriguard and copycatch.com services for free-text submissions. The downloadable Essay Verification Engine (EVE) tool for free-text detection of Web plagiarism is also evaluated. The paper finds that all five could be invaluable resources for academic institutions as they strive for a pro-active anti-plagiarism policy. The paper concludes by looking at the authors' current work to combat plagiarism.
