Project "PlagStop"

The PlagStop.NRW project aims to develop digital services for the identification and prevention of plagiarism for teachers and students. Seven universities have joined forces under the umbrella of the Digital University NRW for this purpose. The Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences is responsible for project management and coordination.

In addition to the implementation and evaluation of plagiarism detection software at the participating universities, the project consists of the following three work packages:

  1. Guidelines for the operation of plagiarism detection software in higher education institutions
  2. Preparation of materials for plagiarism prevention
  3. Legal opinion to examine the possibility of a cross-university database

As part of the project, the plagiarism detection software OURIGINAL is to be introduced at the University of Cologne, tested by staff and evaluated by those responsible for the project.

News

Guidelines for the implementation and commissioning of plagiarism detection software finalised

The guide is intended to support universities in sustainably integrating plagiarism detection software into university operations, taking all framework conditions into account.
