Het bedrijf TurnItIn, maker van anti-plagiaat software voor scholen, bracht een white-paper uit rond nieuwe tendensen in plagiaat door studenten en scholieren, dit op basis van de resultaten van hun analyses van taken.
Enkele van de belangrijkste inzichten:
- Plagiarism is going social: One-third of all content matched in the study is from social networks, content sharing or question-and-answer sites where users contribute and share content.
- Legitimate educational sites are more popular than cheat sites: One-quarter of all matched material is from legitimate educational web sites, almost double the number that comes from paper mills or cheat sites.
- 15% of content matches come directly from sites that promote and benefit from academic dishonesty: Paper mills and cheat sites are the third most popular category for matched content.
- Wikipedia is the most popular site for matched content: It remains the single most used source for student-matched content on the Web, comprising 7% of matches in the months examined. (bron)
