plagiarism in scientific writing is on the increase

Undergraduates regularly expropriate whole articles from Wikipedia. They are not scared by anti-plagiarism software, as they know it is not routinely applied. As today's undergraduates will become tomorrow's researchers, the problem can only get worse.

depuis cette rentrée, tous les enseignants lyonnais qui le souhaitent peuvent utiliser le logiciel anti-plagiat compilatio.net, à partir du portail web de leur établissement, pour vérifier que les travaux de leurs étudiants ne sont pas de simples patchworks de copier/coller.

At the 2006 CrossRef Annual Meeting, members were asked to rank potential new strategic initiatives for CrossRef, and a cross-publisher plagiarism detection (PD) service emerged as one of the top priorities.

Current state-of-the-art in PD works by comparing a submitted manuscript to a database of published content. When the system detects a degree of textual overlap between the submitted manuscript and items in the database, the system produces an originality report, which can be used by editorial staff in order to determine whether the overlap is benign, or a case of plagiarism. The problem with these PD systems is that they are only effective if the database of published content contains items that are relevant to the domain of the documents being checked. Without a database of relevant existing published scholarly and professional content, it is impossible to effectively check purportedly scholarly/professional new content for plagiarism.



Currently, existing PD systems do not index the majority of scholarly/professional content because it is inaccessible to crawlers directed at the open web. The only scholarly literature that is currently indexed by PD systems is that which is available openly (e.g. OA, Archived or illegitimately posted copies) or that which has been made available via third-party aggregators (e.g. ProQuest). This, in turn, means that any publisher who is interested in employing PD systems in their editorial work-flow is unable to do so effectively. Even if a particular publisher doesn't have a problem with plagiarized manuscripts, they should have an interest in making sure that their own published content is not plagiarized or otherwise illegitimately copied.
