Up to 14% of Australian University Students May Be Plagiarizing From Web, Study Suggests - ANDREA L. FOSTER, the Chronicle
Up to 14 percent of Australian university students may be pirating material off the Internet for their essays, according to a study commissioned by six Australian universities. The study used a U.S.-based plagiarism-detection service called Turnitin.com to analyze 1,925 essays, each provided by a different student at the six institutions. The essays, which were evaluated this year, covered 20 different subjects. Turnitin.com checked the papers against publicly available Web sites and other electronic sources available to students.
