Collections of Links to Sites on Plagiarism

Plagiarism by Sharon Stoerger, links to lots of online articles and web pages; divided into nine major areas and regularly updated.

Plagiarism Theme Page from the Community Learning Network in Canada. An annotated collection of links, some of which are more relevant to secondary schools, but others are more broadly useful.

Plagiarism and Anti-Plagiarism from Heyward Ehrlich, Rutgers University. Contains both a discussion of the problem and "useful webpages for detecting and fighting plagiarism." See particularly his list of web search engine detection strategies; we would suggest using Google as a first preference.

Thinking and Talking About Plagiarism, a short essay by Nick Carbone of Bedford/St. Martin's, which suggests how to talk to students about plagiarism and gives an annotated list of some tip-filled web sites.

Discussions of Plagiarism Issues

Plagiarism Resource Site. Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin are jointly developing this site as part of an instruction program to discourage the occurrences of plagiarism.
Intended to serve as a clearinghouse for information on plagiarism, this site is especially concerned with news and developments that relate to undergraduate teaching and learning.

Electronic Plagiarism Seminar, by Gretchen Pearson, Public Services Librarian, Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY. Quite comprehensive, aimed at faculty; includes some links, too.

Student Plagiarism in an Online World. Extensive paper, with some links.

Center for Academic Integrity. "The Center for Academic Integrity was founded in 1992 to help colleges and universities develop a viable network for sharing information about academic integrity policies and procedures by providing a forum to identify, affirm, and promote the values of academic integrity among students."

Anti-Plagiarism Strategies for Research Papers by Robert Harris, VirtualSalt.

"The Web's plagiarism police," a cautionary tale worth reading.
