Paper Information, including author information, submission date, and a Matching score. This score is a guide to how much of the paper has been copied from other sources, but does not indicate whether the copied portions have been correctly cited or not. It may also return some false positives. And the problem of false positives does not seem to be confined to SafeAssign: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/03/13/detect Miguel --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
