PlagiatInform

Solving the problem of plagiarism

Owing to its unique technology of similar document search PlagiatInform system efficiently solves the problem of plagiarism.

When using similar search, the whole array of words occurring in the text is scanned with due consideration to stemming and thesaurus. After the query has been processed a list of documents with maximum similarity (the percentage of similarity is specified at the side) to the query text is displayed. 100% relevancy indicates that the document is a duplicate of the query. The document with a smaller relevancy percentage, accordingly, is only similar to the query text by its contents. It’s quite remarkable how this technology is smart enough to accurately identify the degree of document relevancy to the query regardless of all modifications (deleting part of the text, corrections) in the query text.

That is, even if there have been some changes in the order of paragraphs in the text, the level of document similarity will still be high. This will help you uncover the fact of plagiarism.

PlagiatInform System

To reach maximum efficiency from the work of PlagiatInform in a network of educational institutions the process of implementation should be divided into the following steps.

• A complex version of search engine developed by SearchInform Technologies based on SoftInform Search Technology.
• A system that solves the problem of plagiarism in the framework of one university’s work database.
• Inter-university version designed to unite the corporate versions of PlagiatInform into one large system.

A BOX VERSION OF SEARCHINFORM

Box version of the search engine developed by SearchInform Technologies based on SoftInform Search Technology.

The first step is to install a corporate version of SearchInform program complex on top of an existing database of ready papers.

Since the box version of the product, i.e. full-fledge ready to use software, is being used, the expenditure on its implementation will be minimal while the quality of search, provided by SearchInform, will remain at its maximum.

CORPORATE VERSION OF PLAGIATINFORM

The best way to efficiently deal with plagiarism within the framework of one university is using the corporate version of PlagiatInform.

Each paper that gets turned in must be in the electronic format.

When adding a paper to the university database there are certain attribute fields to be filled out. Filling them out will significantly ease the process of tracking plagiarism and will provide sufficient information for future work. In the field “author” you write name of the student submitting the paper, field “title” should contain the title of the paper. Correspondingly, the field “university” should contain the name of university in which the paper had been turned in, next the department, the year student was in, and the pathway to the document itself.

The number of fields is unlimited, so any new attributes can be easily added, including the grade paper received and the year it was turned in.

When adding a paper that contains plagiarism to the university database, PlagiatInform will let you know about it by showing the percentage of similarity. You can browse the attributes of similar papers already existing in database, an on top of that you can also see the whole text of the paper by pressing the button “open document”.

GLOBAL INTER-UNIVERSITY NETWORK PLAGIATINFORM

The global version, aside from full functionality of the corporate system, offers a mechanism enabling various universities to interact among themselves.

Integrating this system will help you synchronize the databases of works submitted by students in the network of universities by uniting them into a single information space. All student-submitted papers will be stored in a common database of works and then sent to all the universities in the network.

Managing server downloads a database of papers, essays, reports etc. from the most popular and widely used paper collections in the Internet.

Next the program will constantly monitor paper collections online and download all new papers appearing in the Internet into the databases located in universities. This keeps databases up-to-date.

All this data is saved to databases located in universities and gets indexed. All papers that have been turned in all the universities in the network also get added to databases.

ADVANTAGES OF IMPLEMENTING PLAGIATINFORM

• Uniting the information space of multiple educational institutions and doing so independently of the physical location factor.
• Quick and convenient access to works turned in within the whole of inter-university network information space.
• Monitoring all papers, essays, reports, etc. appearing in the network. Efficiently tracking plagiarism in all submitted papers.

QUOTE INDEX

Technologies implemented in PlagiatInform system can also be used to determine how often a certain author is quoted in a paper.

Using a unique similar search function, the system will easily determine how often and in which works the author has been quoted. A paragraph from the text is taken as a unit of measurement, and even if the paper does not have the author properly cited, the text is used and it’s easy to discern.
