Hi.
We search plagiarism manually using search engines.
Plagiarism checker tools are usually completely useless.
No professional investigation uses such tools.
You just need to take parts of texts and meticulously perform searches using search engines.
Sometimes you find it right away. Other times we need to do much more work as scammers tend to spin the content or use google translation from other languages.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
That you manually check for plagiarism is impressive given the volume of information you must have to process. I will implement your methodology in this week's POB-WOTW curation as a verification method.
I can see the value in your methodology, but I'm used to processing large volumes of data in my IRL job. I believe an extent of curation has to be done automatically with manual verification. Your work in this case is textbook, however. I have the link to your discord. I hope you don't mind the occasional questions in the near future about your processes.
Thank you very much for responding. I really appreciate it.
We only check a tiny percentage of all the content that is posted. We do our own investigations and process the reports from the community. We also have a well-defined scope of what we consider an abuse of the ecosystem.
The abuse (all types of plagiarism, copypasta spam-farming, identity theft/deception, comment farming, etc) is pervading. We have estimated that at least half of all content published daily is some sort of plagiarism.
Sure, feel welcome to ask any questions in our Discord. There are only a few of us but we try to respond when we can.
