I don't know of such a tool, but going by some of the articles that are trying to get through the doors nowadays, such a thing must exist and be easy to find.

I have to believe he means the opposite - a tool that can identify plagiarized material.

Yep,Exactly. You're right.
Do you know such a Tool ?
|

When moderating articles here on CodeProject, I look for paragraphs that are worded in a way that seem different than other things written by the author or flat out looks like it comes from a book. I then copy that text and run it through Google.

Often a quick keyword search on Google also helps.
And if there are obvious formatting issues the article is more likely to be plagiarized.

Actually My idea is, before approving the COP articles, check whether is that one is suspected for the Plagiarism ? So, how can I do that ?
|
|
|
|
|
Cut and paste some sentences into Google and see what comes up. That's what most people do.

Thanks for the advice Pete

Also check images that might appear in the article. Sometimes the plagiarists mess up and the images link straight back to the original source.

I don't know about other browsers, but I stopped using Firefox when I discovered that with TWO KEYSTROKES you could copy an entire article; CTRL+A and CTRL+C . Disgusting I call it!

Let's hope no one else discovers that.

I don't know of any such tool, but here is a piece of advise: Don't copy from a singe source, instead copy from multiple sources, and then you can call it Research.
|

I've seen papers that just cite multiple other papers with no new research, but just a conclusion from bringing them together.

Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -
Only be sure always to call it please 'research'.

the words you use should be your own
don't plagiarise or take "on loans"
