Internet Watchdog Could Stop Collegiate Copycats

From a news story byCNN San Francisco Reporter Don Knapp

Academic thieves beware. While the students can easily get many research papers off the

Internet,now a new Web site could help professors catch plagiarizers irresponsible. Some

students actually research and write their term-papers the old-fashioned way. Others,

however, just copy fake ones off the Internet and turn them in as their work.

To prevent collegiate copycats, two graduate students at the University of California at

Berkeley have devised a program that compares a student's submission with every other term-

paper on the Web.

"We fundamentally search a hundred million Web pages on the Internet, interfacing with the

top 20 search engines," said John Barrie, of www.plagiarism.com. "We also examine in

contrast that with our local data base of term papers."

Teachers who sign up can send their students' papers to the Web site. The originality of the

students work becomesseriouslyclear within 24 hours. "We code every sentence that was a

word-for-word match with another sentence, either contained on the Internet or within our

database," Barrie said.

David Presti, a U.C. Berkeley professor who teaches neurobiology, told his class he would

use the program. However, numerous students still plagiarized term-papers from the Internet

anyway. "We ran all 300 papers through the program and found 45 of them, or 15 percent of

students, had cut and pasted significant amounts of material from various World Wide Web

sites without citations," Presti said.

Students underhandedly accused can have the opportunity to defend themselves. They can

show the instructors where they got their material "that indeed they haven't got their material

from the Internet or some other source," Barrie said.

Competitiveness is rather tough at prestigious universities like U.C. Berkeley and other

universities. Some students welcome the Internet research watchdog, considering it6 a way to

level the academic playing field. "I think it's justified academically. Plagiarizing is wrong,"

one said.
