Hi
I thought this might be of interest to the list. Apologies for cross-
posting.
Warm regards Catherine
Emerald has partnered with iParadigms, LLC, developers of the Turnitin
plagiarism detection product for academic institutions and the iThenticate
plagiarism detection product for content publishers. The Turnitin service
has been expanded to include Emerald content since 25 September. This
innovative move reinforces Emerald’s proactive stance on plagiarism, and
ensures that Emerald content continues to maintain its high standard of
integrity. Additionally, Emerald now has five iThenticate licenses to
allow its editors to verify that articles submitted for publication are
free from plagiarism and do not duplicate previously published work.
The partnership with iParadigms allows Emerald to address the problems of
plagiarism and copyright infringement in two ways:
• By allowing students, tutors, researchers and editors to compare
content that they are submitting, marking, editing or publishing with
content previously published by Emerald through the Turnitin and
iThenticate services. This will alert the enquirer to possible
duplication or plagiarism, and allow them to take the appropriate action,
for example revision.
• By allowing Emerald to be proactive and check submitted work for
copyright infringement against content it has previously published, plus
8.6 billion web pages, tens of millions of articles in more than 15,000
periodicals, and copyright free material.
This move should ultimately improve the quality of published academic
articles. It is excellent news for all parties who are concerned with
originality and improving the quality of research, both in academic
institutions and in journal publishing.
