Plagiarism : keeping up with the cheats
A bibliography

Return to Now Read On Home Page     To the Robert College Library Home Page

This is the latest version of a constantly revised webliography.
It has long been impossible to record every piece, page or article dealing with plagiarism - if ever it was possible.
My Google News Alert brings in three or four new hits every day, sometimes more.
I now record only the more significant finds, the ones with something new to say.

1.   Papers, articles, webliographies and more.
2.    A selection of Plagiarism detection software and detection services.

A number of pages cited here can no longer be accessed at the URL given.
They may have moved to a different address, they may have been removed altogether.
When known, these are shown in gray.
This is one of the problems of internet citation - and of plagiarism detection!
Three things you can try:
<1>  copy and paste details from this page (eg author and/or title) into your favorite search engine/s and see if there is a new link - or perhaps a copy elsewhere;
<2>  use Google's cache to find a copy of the original - and print it out if you find it; the cache does not last forever!
<3>  see if there is a copy in The Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive, <http://webdev.archive.org/>.

Recently added entries are marked  .
If you find a dud link, please let me know.

A review of the literature which reminds us that (1) online detection systems are far from perfect, (2) that many elements have to be in place to help and encourage students to become good scholars, and (3) that changes in assessment & assignment may play a vital role: "Staff can now be shown that their assignments can be answered by a single google query and repeated high levels of plagiarism on such assignments may force them to reflect on their own practices". The study also looks at use of online detection tools as a means of improving student writing.

Everybody wins - the writer gets money, the student/client and his parents are happy, and the school doesn't have to fear an expulsion or transfer endquote.

Student's experience of having her work plagiarized by a friend.  Particularly interesting for two notions: one, that education may be the one consumer product where the buyer wants less than s/he's entitled to; and two, the concluding paragraph: "I learned a lot from this experience. I learned how valuable the virtue of honor really is. It is one of the only things that no one can take away from you. And if you give it up, and compromise your integrity, I really don't know what else you have to stand for."

This Sheffield Hallam University study included  a look at students' reading and how they used these readings in producing academic work, and at how they used Turnitin reports in later drafts.  The report suggests that lack of considstency (in referencing and requirements) can be confusing; that examples are useful learning tools; and that Turnitin can be an effective formative tool.

Suggests an approach which brings "students, instructors and administrators together in support of shared values" may be a more effective way of promoting integrity and ethical behavior, than more swingeing punishment;  there is also emphasis on faculty making explicit their expectations, and suggests way of making search for the "right answer" less necessary.

Turnitin is proving useful in British schools and colleges, but is recognised as "not a silver bullet"; at the same time, there is increase in custom-written essays (which may evade Turnitin). Included is the cautionary tale of a foreign student who, when asked if an essay was his, happily admitted it wasn't. When given a viva voce, however, he was able to show that he had learned and understood the material - his problem was that he did not understand the rules of academic papers.

Plagiarism detection software and detection services

Several companies have free versions with limited capabilities and fee versions which search more thoroughly.
Some fee companies have free trial offers.

I would suggest that online plagiarism detection services, be they free or for fee, should be checked before money or text changes hands. They are often marketed as providing help to students before submission to their instructors. Some are genuine. Some of these companies also offer custom written essays, papers, dissertations and theses - and it is not beyond the bounds of reason to wonder if some of these actually keep, and then sell on, the papers submitted. Other services may check a limited number of (probably internet) sources - but not subscription services or any kind of database of past submissions. Inclusion of any site here does not imply endorsement or recommendation of that site or product.  Caveat emptor!

Copycatch Gold. Software for discovering similarities in submitted papers; compares strings/ phrases and also keywords. <http://www.copycatchgold.com/> Downloadable software; build your own database.

MyDropBox.com <http://www.mydropbox.com/> (Comment 2003:) Plagiserve.com appears to have gone out of business, although Edutie.com keeps going. Meanwhile, if you go to the Plagiserve site, you are now re-directed to MyDropBox, a site which is very similar to Edutie, making much the same claims. Intriguing, especially as MyDropBox seems to be claiming that their home page has been up since 1999. Check out the About Us pages for more similarities.

The Plagiarism Checker <http://www.dustball.com/cs/plagiarism.checker/> offers a free version and a subscription service which is claimed to be "3x as accurate as the free version." The software appears to be endorsed by the University of Maryland; do read the small print carefully.
