Plagiarism Detection Tools

ESAA has equipped itself with a service to verify that theses are based on professional and academic literature as well as personal surveys, but not on plagiarism.

Plagiarism consists of borrowing, imitating, or copying someone else’s work without crediting the source. It involves using authors’ writings without citing them in one’s research. Plagiarism is therefore considered a theft of ideas, reflections, and theories belonging to others:

Considered Plagiarism cases include:

• Copy verbatim a passage from a book, magazine or web page without putting it in quotation marks and without mentioning the source.
• Insert images, graphics, data, etc. into a job. from external sources without indication of provenance.
• Summarizing an author’s original idea by expressing it in one’s own words, but omitting to indicate the source.
• Partially or completely translate a text without mentioning its origin.
• Using someone’s work and presenting it as your own (even if that person has given their consent).
