Plagiarism is concerning for colleges and universities (Curtis & Vardanega, 2016). Students begin higher education with varying degrees of knowledge on the topic of plagiarism; sometimes students have a limited understanding of the behaviors that constitute plagiarism. Gourlay and Deane (2012) suggest “a proportion of plagiarism is committed via confusion over how to integrate and reference source materials into academic writing” (p. 19). Moreover, some students might be unfamiliar regarding when they can claim an opinion as their own and when they need to use a citation (Ballantine & McCourt Larres, 2010). Being unfamiliar with the behaviors that constitute plagiarism might be a reason why students engage in this type of academic misconduct (Insley, 2011). Via Elizabeth E Charles

I started teaching economics in higher education almost a decade ago, and yet the memory of the first time I asked a student to meet with me to talk about plagiarism is still painful. Rather than resolve anything, in the middle of our conversation he abruptly stood up and walked out, slamming the door behind him. Via Elizabeth E Charles

There is a general belief that software must be able to easily do things that humans find difficult. Since finding sources for plagiarism in a text is not an easy task, there is a wide-spread expectation that it must be simple for software to determine if a text is plagiarized or not. Software cannot determine plagiarism, but it can work as a support tool for identifying some text similarity that may constitute plagiarism. But how well do the various systems work? This paper reports on a collaborative test of 15 web-based text-matching systems that can be used when plagiarism is suspected. It was conducted by researchers from seven countries using test material in eight different languages, evaluating the effectiveness of the systems on single-source and multi-source documents. A usability examination was also performed. The sobering results show that although some systems can indeed help identify some plagiarized content, they clearly do not find all plagiarism and at times also identify non-plagiarized material as problematic.

Stamping out student plagiarism is big business. How big? $1.735 billion, to be exact. That’s the price that Advance, a privately held media, communications, and technology company, will pay to purchase Turnitin, the 800-pound gorilla of plagiarism-detection services. Although not the largest ed-tech deal ever made, it is, in the words of one analyst, “massive.”
So what does the deal, announced on Wednesday, mean for higher education and for education technology? We talked with a few ed-tech observers, as well as senior officers at Turnitin and Advance, to sort it all out. Their takeaways: Via Elizabeth E Charles

En el artículo adjunto, se dan a conocer las estadísticas de plagio en los Estados unidos y Europa. El plagio constituye un vicio que atenta contra los derechos de autor, específicamente contra la creatividad y originalidad que plasma el individuo a quien le corresponde gozar de los beneficios y utilidades como recompensa a su esfuerzo personal. En el campo de la investigación académica, existe mayor exigencia de ser estrictos con la originalidad de la investigación resultante. De esta manera, será mas relevante el aporte que se brinda a la disciplina correspondiente. Estamos de acuerdo con que esta exigencia se dé al nivel de la investigación universitaria, hoy las universidades peruanas están siendo exigentes con este requisito, precisamente para evitar el plagio. Esto se condice con las aptitudes que debe tener todo estudiante graduado en una Universidad, cuyo trabajo de investigación debe reflejar no solo lo aprendido durante toda la carrera universitaria, sino la aplicación de estos conocimientos con un carácter innovador.
