Abstract— The rise of plagiarism is one of the negative impacts of the development of information and communication technology. Plagiarism can occur anywhere. One of the examples is a university with the object of plagiarism as a student's final project. So we need a system to detect plagiarism so that it can suppress plagiarism in the college environment. In detecting the similarity of a writing will be faster if the writing has been grouped before compared to each other. Single-link clustering was chosen because it has a simple algorithm and can be implemented without the initial cluster. In plagiarism plagiarism usually changes the sentence structure so that it looks different Jaro-Winkler distance is chosen because it can detect similarities in paragraphs that have been changed in sentence structure because Jaro-Winkler distance has a flexible indexing with theoretical distance so that a word or character is considered the same. The stages in this study include data collection, preprocessing, grouping writing with Single-link clustering, comparing writing with jaro-winkler distance, and testing with precision and recall. After testing, the average value of precision was 84.37% and recall was 84.37% with a level of plagiarism of 99.1%. Keywords—: jaro-winkler distance; plagiarisme; single-link clustering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
