Advantages
• It can identify where numerous words have been added, deleted, or substituted
• Allows for citation verification

• Faster and more effective than trying to look for the source yourself in a search engine
• Both lecturer and students can upload• It allows for peer to peer plagiarism detection

Disadvantages
• It is not infallible. For example:• it doesn’t identify plagiarism from a source not
available on line
• has problems with mathematical formulas
• Is not that reliable with PDF files
• It distorts the format of the original documents: tables, graphs, and images don’t appear
• It fails to properly differentiate between quoted materials and original writing!

Possible Scenario
A lecturer (or student who has access to it) receives an originality report showing a match for the following passage:
Today, according to authors of The Death of “e” and the Birth of the Real New Economy doing business electronically is the only way to stay alive and competitive. It is a necessity to get involved in the digital economy. Therefore, “e” is disappearing from our vocabulary because conducting business electronically is a normal, every-day activity.
Upon clicking on the comparison link, you find that the text is found in an on-line article, entitled The Death of “e” and the Birth of the Real New Economy.
Is this plagiarism or a false positive? Why?
