Detecting Service

What is a plagiarism detection service?

Plagiarism detection services, such as Ephorus use specialized technology to compare student papers with information found on the Internet as well as their own databases of previously submitted papers.

Your professor may ask you to submit your papers electronically through a plagiarism detection service. This detection service will create an "originality report" that shows how much of your paper is original and how much, if any, is plagiarized.
