Hello all, just in case any among us is thinking of writing a term paper, a thesis or a book and wishes to ensure that he/she will not be accused of plagiarism ....the following might be useful.
Kidshealth.org defines Plagiarism is a form of cheating because it's stealing another person's ideas. Glatt Plagiarism Teaching Program (GPTeach) is a Tutorial Program which purports to provide computer assisted instruction on what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it. Glatt Plagiarism Screening Program (GPSP) is said to be a highly sophisticated Screening Program to detect plagiarism. ref: http://www.plagiarism.com/ I personally recommend the use of Viper - the Anti-plagiarism Scanner - a free application from CNET. (so says CNET, my favourite software site) Plagiarism-Finder 1.2.2 is good too ...but is a '30 day free trial software'. Some others can be found at http://download.cnet.com/3001-2051_4-10795356.html?spi=4335953d738748a0e40f93ceba3ce41a And yes ....before sending the book to the US Library of Congress, please check this site http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85102580 Please note that the above is generic information. If you are planning to send hate-mail (as a result of this post), please send it to the Plagiarism sites mentioned above. You may of course also send it to me and I will forward it appropriately. good wishes jc * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?
