quotation marks (“..”) or (‘..’).
6. how IT WORKS?
In the program we have used Several String
matching algorithms like Naïve, KMP, Boyre’s
Moore, Rabin Karp. These Algorithms attempts
to compute the degree of similarity between the
selected file.
This involves in each case , Removing comments
and string-constants. Translating upper case
letters into lower case.
The output gives us the detailed Analysis of the
percentage copied between various input files.
11. Conclusion
In the age of information technologies plagiarism has
become more actual and turned into a serious problem. In
this ways how to reduce plagiarism are discussed.
Plagiarism prevention methods which are based on society’s
change of attitude against plagiarism without any doubt are
the most significant means to fight against plagiarism, but
implementation of these methods is a challenge for society
as a whole. At the present such abilities are not available for
plagiarism detection software tools. But nevertheless
computer based plagiarism detection tools can considerably
help to find plagiarized documents.
