| Abstract | If I were to plagiarize an article on plagiarism, it would be easy since thousands of articles have been written on the topic, and many of them reside on the web. While examining free web sites relevant to the academic community, I decided there are two basic camps. There are sites that provide information to students for downloading, and there are sites that help instructors figure out which of their students have succeeded in locating the former. The two sides are surprisingly, interconnected. On the one hand the very same authors, whom students might quote are occasionally accused of plagiarism. Stephen Ambrose, Dorris Kearns Goodwin, and, yes, Shakespeare (who has been accused of snatching plots and characters) have drawn scrutiny. The Internet however adds yet another link. The vast availability of complete online sources has made the temptation to cut and paste, greater than ever. Subsequently, the acknowledgement of flagrant plagiarism in schools has prompted professors to check papers against web-based documents, and develop or locate software solutions that go beyond checking excerpts in search engines. Yet again the two sides connect when a professor runs a paper through a plagiarism detection site that then archives the paper for sale at an undisclosed paper mill. This article is a quick introduction to some of the free web sites that sell papers to students, and a look at the web sites that bust students when they use them. |
