Un workshop internazionale sul “plagiarismo”

Plagiarism is the act of copying or including another author’s ideas, language, or writing, without proper acknowledgment of the original source. Plagiarism analysis is a collective term for computer-based methods to identify a plagiarism offense. In connection with text documents we distinguish between corpus-based and intrinsic analysis: the former compares suspicious documents against a set of potential original documents, the latter identifies potentially plagiarized passages by analyzing the suspicious document with respect to changes in writing style. Such passages then can be used as a starting point for a Web search or for human inspection.
