Plagiarism ResourcesThese resources support the 2001-2002 Electronic Plagiarism Detection Pilot Projects running across the University. However, given that plagiarism detection is, or should be, but a part of a broader plagiarism prevention strategy that addresses issues concerning the teaching and learning process, methods of assessment and student and staff education about plagiarism, other more general resources related to plagiarism will be included.

Plagiarism: A Good Practice Guide A report produced by Oxford Brookes University for the JISC Plagiarism Project. This is an excellent set of recommendations for a University plagiarism strategy with clear guidelines on assessement and teaching issues. Leeds Library Plagiarism Resources This is a section in the Library copyright resources and links page. The following is the opening paragraph of the final report of the JISC Plagiarism Project. It summarises the report's recommendation on how electronic plagiarism detection should be viewed within the context of a wider integrated plagarism prevention strategy. The full report and others can be found at the project's home page http://www.jisc.ac.uk/plagiarism/. "The JISC Electronic Plagiarism Detection project was established
to review electronic solutions to the issue of plagiarism. However, it
became clear that, as with most things in life, technology can only
assist us, it will never replace the expertise of humans and that the
answer to problems usually lies in process and procedures not technology
alone. Electronic detection has its place in institutions but
the real solutions lie in appropriate assessment mechanisms, supportive
institutional culture, clear definitions of plagiarism and policies for
dealing with it and adequate training for staff and student If
these areas are improved, the need, desire, and appeal of plagiarism can
be taken away for most students." (Plagiarism
