The detection rate of plagiarism detection software is under Weber-Wulff often only about 50 percent. There are several reasons to be mentioned here briefly.
A central problem is that a program can only detect plagiarism when it has access to the original text. Off-line, with a Database work, which is not connected to the Internet, have a very limited selection of original texts and discover why many do not plagiarism. Online programs in this respect are of course much better. Nevertheless, the possibilities of such programs is limited because they do not have access to sources such as books or magazines as long as they are not digitized and accessible. Especially books are still popular sources for plagiarists. Each program is therefore only as good as its Zugriffsmöglickeiten to sources.
Another problem of plagiarism detection programs are translations. If a foreign-language text translated and plagiarized, this may no program To discover there is a translation of a complex operation for such a program.
A further difficulty for users of plagiarism detection software are called false positives. These are places provided by the program called plagiarism, but in fact are the author's own work. Therefore need details of plagiarism programs are always checked before the potential plagiarist is confronted with it, as it may cause very embarrassing scenes.
Another point that must be considered in the use of plagiarism detection programs is the confidence. To verify such a school all the work of their students through a software for plagiarism does this action actually shows that the school does not trust their students generally. Whether such an implied statement is good for the school climate, the reader must decide for themselves.
programs to detect plagiarism in general have still a considerable need for improvement and perhaps even negative social implications, yet they are in great demand. This shows that despite all the problems, a need. If this demand was caused by the possibilities of the Internet or by changing use of media and content can not answer this blog.
