Detection

It's getting easier to get caught. As more and more works are digitized and indexed, it becomes easier to retrieve and compare work. In addition, there are a number of resources that assist in detecting plagiarized work. SUNY Geneseo provides access to turnitin.com, which both assists professors in detecting plagiarism and assists students in checking their work for possible plagiarism before they "turn it in."

Some of the many anti-plagiarism resources available

• EduTie.com
• MOSS (Measure of Software Similarity)
• Eve2 (Essay Verification Engine)
• Plagiarism.com
• iplagiarismcheck
• iThenticate

Remember, if you "google" and plagiarize something from the world wide web, chances are that your professor can find it too!
