Plagiarism
Detector Alive Reports Overview: |
|
| |
Plagiarism-Detector has a number
of unique features and one of them is its Active Reports!
The information below is a detailed description of the
Active Reports structure, functions and
usage. |
|
|
1. General Overview: |
|
The main idea of an active report is a report that contains
the original document plus the meta information
harvested by Plagiarism
Detector from the
Google's main database in a very 'easy-to-use' style and
with a bit of interactivity!
Active Reports contain embedded JavaScript to effectively
visually present the metadata. These JavaScript insertions
were especially polished to be used in the most popular
browsers - Internet Explorer
and Firefox.
Below - You may observe the top sections of the already
made reports: |

| 2. Active Report Structure: |
| The core technologies that form
the basis for the Active Reports are HTML and embedded JavaScript.
HTML is responsible for visual perception that includes graphics
and colors and JavaScript presents the interactive part that
gives immediate information about every sentence. |
| |
|
Key Features: |
1. HTML format. Can be easily published over
the Web. |
|
| |
|
|
2. Cross platform solution - it can be loaded
into any JavaScript enabled browser. It has been especially
optimized to achieve Internet Explorer 6/7 and Firefox 2.0
upward compatibility. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Easy to percept, navigate and use due its
interactive insertions. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Has advanced statistics included - it shows
Google interaction transport layer - successful and failed
requests and their reasons. |
|
| |
|
|
5. Can be easily customized due to its templates,
both HTML and JavaScript are accessible for modification.
You may easily put Your copyright note to the produced output
reports. |

Report Structure: |
1. Document Properties. |
In this section the analyzed
document main characteristics are shown. These are:
Name, Path, Size
- to locate the document, and CRC32 Hash
to check whether the document has been modified since the
last analysis. |
|
| |
|
|
2. Session parameters. |
These are the values that
are generated during the document analysis stage. They show
how many times the Plagiarism-Detector queried Google and
the number of successes or failures. Successful queries are
divided into two halves - Plagi-Hits and
Green-Requests respectively. One Plagi-Hit stands
for a positive Google reply - that means that Google found
at least one document with the queried search string. Thus
Green-Request means that the search string is 'clean' and
there are no documents on the web that contain such word sequence. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Statistics. Top 5-links. |
This section is the most important
among the rest. It contains Top 5 - most used links (urls)
that were used in the document plus their frequency. To illustrate
this - say You have a text consisting of 10 sentences, 5 of
which are copied from Wiki, then Your Top 5 will have the
following record: 'Frequency: 5, http:\\www.wikipedia.org\some_address...'
Having carefully analyzed the Top 5 section You can be absolutely
sure about the analyzed text originality degree. |
|
| |
|
|
4. The analyzed document body. |
This is the section with the
original document text. The text in the document is presented
in different colors. Every color has its own meaning. |
|
| |
|
text in red |
- means that the highlighted string is
a severe Plagi-Hit - it has been found in Google database
more than 3 (!) times. That means that at least
3 different sites have the searched word sequence as a part
of their content. So if no explicit note is attached as for
the direct citation - this must be treated as pure Plagiarism. |
| |
|
text
in green |
- no results found - it means
that the searched string is original. |
| |
|
text in orange |
- only 1 correspondence on one site is
found. Usually this means an accidental coincidence of the
search sequence in some web document. |
| |
|
text
in gray |
- search query failed for some reason.
The reason will be shown in the pop-up window. |
| |
| 3. Meta information Pop-up
Structure: |
| Every Report has Interactive
Spots. Every search string has a corresponding trailing
Active Spot. If You hover Your mouse over this Active Spot,
You will get a pop-up containing the detailed information
about the results of the search: |

Academic Warning
Read this if
you are going to use Plagiarism-Detector for Academic
Purposes (Teaching)
|
The Active Reporting provides
easy-to-use and visually stunning information about the
textual material - related external links usage, their
distribution and frequency in the text.
Still - Plagiarism
Detector DOES
NOT include any assessment grade at all. We do
really believe that this is the teacher
who is responsible for the assessment and grade giving.
So we created this tool to help fighting digital plagiarism
- but not to automatically put the grade.
The idea is to use the
harvested information to assess the work.
