Comments on: Embarrassing Cases of Plagiarism http://blogs.capella.edu/library/2008/05/14/embarrassing-cases-of-plagiarism/ The blog of the Capella University Library Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:17:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jonathan Bailey http://blogs.capella.edu/library/2008/05/14/embarrassing-cases-of-plagiarism/comment-page-1/#comment-57 Jonathan Bailey Fri, 16 May 2008 07:18:31 +0000 http://www.capella-id.com/library/?p=248#comment-57 Thank you for this very level-headed view of plagiarism. It's a refreshing respite from the usual vitriol of the Web. On that note, it's worth noting that technology is catching up to the plagiarists and that the tools they use to find material to lift enables the rest of us to track down the source. It isn't just Google either. Tools such as Copyscape and Bitscan can check sites for Plagiarism and unwanted copies. Also, Turnitin and MyDropBox can detect plagiarism in academic papers. The playing field is leveling at least some. We're going to be seeing a lot more plagiarists getting caught over the coming years. Thank you for this very level-headed view of plagiarism.
