Abstract

Educational institutions fight against students’ plagiarism, because plagiarizing contradicts the most basic learning principles. Among ways of countering student plagiarism include understanding the reasons behind it and developing measures to detect and prevent it. Wide availability of text and other resources on the Internet makes plagiarizing easy and, thus, commonplace among students. Students’ cyber-plagiarism sets new challenges to educational institutions. Computers and technology, however, also provide solutions to the problem; plagiarism detection and prevention can be supported by automatic detection technologies that help to reveal instances of plagiarism. Ongoing research in student cyber-plagiarism is also concerned with the various ethical questions that plagiarism and its detection arise.
