Abstract

An increasing number of students at universities around the world seem to be submitting plagiarized texts to their instructors for credit, although no exact figures are available, either for how much was plagiarized in the past or how much is plagiarized now. Instructors, overwhelmed with an ever-increasing workload, wish for a simple method – rather like a litmus test – to quickly sort out the plagiarized works, so that they can concentrate their efforts on the rest of the students.
