Anti-plagiarism strategies: How to manage it with quality in large-scale thesis productions

摘要: More than 400 students write their bachelor's or master's theses each year at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University. In order to support self-driven student thesis work reduce burden on supervisors for feedback basic skills, an IT system called SciPro was developed. An important consideration in developing this take actions plagiarism. Both prevention detection were accomplished with following: 1) by policy guidelines, FAQ, face-to-face information, peer-reviews transparency process recurrent online manuscript hand-ins; 2) automatic originality check final enabled integration between Turnitin . Explicit rules regulations as well frequent education about anti-plagiarism targeting both also parts strategy. Current results include: substantial improvements development; successful software; 3) educational activities have raised awareness plagiarism issues department. Future development includes three new technical approaches manage sophisticated antiplagiarism controls efficiently, a quality standard not possible other means, large-scale production: automated integrated (SciPro/ Turnitin) submitted manuscripts various stages text production process; texts comparing consistency style writing different versions handed same during producing text; identification images/figures/illustrations/graphs copied from Internet through image pattern recognition programme These measures taken together will significantly increase verifying authenticity very high degree systematising procedures. They substantially tedious, boring immensely time consuming manual administrators who need guarantee that do contain plagiarised illustrations.
