How do anti-plagiarism detectors and programs work to find exact wordings from other sources and determine that they aren’t just coincidence?
In: Technology
Back when I was a TA we used a method where the student would submit the paper through the plagarism detector. The detector would scan the paper and highlight any sections of text that matched other sections of text it had found on the internet or in other papers.
Determining whether or not something was coincidence was up to us, but I mean it’s pretty obvious when someone just took a whole paragraph from Wikipedia or their page is the same as someone else’s or they took a chunk from some paper they found online.
