I love this list. I'm wondering, though, to piggy back on this topic, if anyone knows of something similar to the 'URGUND' referenced below where the results are sent to the students? I have begun to be interested in plagiarism, in particular as professors in my dissertation study (which is about something different) all have different definitions of plagiarism, and as I know some interesting work is being done in this area. I am growing more and more inclined to believe that many cases of plagiarism result from inconsistent instruction / lack of clarity for students. I wonder if anyone has experimented with a system that would identify to students when they are plagiarizing and if that, indeed, would cut down the rates. Keep the topics flowing. I'm learning so much!

The students send their written works (thesis,homewrok, term-papers,etc) to the sytem first. And the system sends the results of the analysis to the instructors. Alhough such plagiarism detection systems seem to be effective in detecting plagiarism, they can search only the web-based sources for detection, which can be regarded as a gap.
