This article delves into the profound implications of plagiarism, extending beyond its role as an academic transgression to challenge the foundational principles of truth, originality, and integrity upon which the academic world is built. Plagiarism's extensive consequences ripple through students, educators, and educational institutions, posing a substantial threat to the integrity of the educational system. The primary aim of this study is to comprehensively address the complexities of plagiarism in higher education, emphasizing the need for effective strategies to safeguard and promote academic integrity. Academic institutions, designed to cultivate knowledge and character development, confront the unsettling presence of plagiarism, necessitating an in-depth exploration of its multifaceted causes and motivations for meaningful mitigation. The study identifies academic pressure, time constraints, lack of knowledge about citation rules, and the digital age as significant contributors to the prevalence of plagiarism. It underscores the far-reaching consequences of this issue and highlights the pivotal role of prevention and detection strategies, notably plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin, Grammarly, and Copyscape, in the ongoing battle to preserve academic honesty and the sanctity of scholarly work.

“…On the other side, Weber-Wulff [26] highlighted that plagiarism detection systems "cannot determine plagiarism", adding that they can help with identifying problems, "but not for discriminating between originality and plagiarism".

Plagiarism through Paraphrasing Tools—The Story of One Plagiarized Text

2021

This paper describes a unique case study wherein real plagiarism revealed in a scientific journal is compared with the original article. The plagiarized text contains many typical errors, such as inconsistent terminology, unclear meanings of sentence, missing tables and figures, and an incorrect literature list. The occurrence of similar errors in other manuscripts may serve as a warning against plagiarism. During the analysis of the plagiarized text, it was assumed that a paraphrasing tool was used for preparing this plagiarized text. To confirm this assumption, the chosen paraphrasing tool was used to create a paraphrased version of the article and this version was compared with the plagiarized text. The paraphrased version had far fewer changes from the plagiarized text than the plagiarized text had from the original article. Thus, it was confirmed that the plagiarized text was created using a paraphrasing tool. Information contained in this article can be used for detecting this type of plagiarism.
