We present an evaluation framework for plagiarism detection.1 The framework provides performance measures that address the specifics of plagiarism detection, and the PAN-PC-10 corpus, which contains 64 558 artificial and 4 000 simulated plagiarism cases, the latter generated via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. We discuss the construction principles behind the measures and the corpus, and we compare t...
