Call for Papers – Machine-based plagiarism: The death of originality in the digital age?
International Journal for Educational Integrity https://edintegrity.biomedcentral.com/ (published by BMC Springer Nature) calls for submissions for a special issue on machine-based plagiarism. Overview: Paraphrasing tools, translation software and ‘article spinners’ are text-processing applications easily found and accessed via the Internet. Text, ranging from phrases through to longer documents such as essays, can be entered in one field and then ‘spun’, reprocessed or translated. The output from paraphrasing tools, article spinners and translation software can mislead people into thinking that these tools create a new form of original writing. While the revised text may look different to the original, the tools usually produce poor quality outputs. Submitting the output for academic credit can be considered a form of plagiarism, and where researchers use the tools to reprocess their existing work, outputs can be considered to be a form of self-plagiarism. Topics of particular interest are: Machine-based plagiarism Article spinners Machine-based paraphrasing tools Machine learning as it relates to academic integrity Artificial intelligence as it relates to academic integrity Translation software and automated text processing as an emerging threat to academic integrity We particularly welcome submissions from linguists with expertise in machine translation and translation software.
