چکیده

Anti-plagiarism tools are currently used in a large number of institutions to perform an initial assessment of students’ essays, enabling an automated approach to the identification of plagiarised work.

Various examples are presented to show how in a number of cases these techniques can bypass an automated evaluation of originality.
