It is so easy to avoid plagiarism. just write. Don't copy from somewhere then you change. Even though we write our own text, sometimes it may be similar somehow with others, in this case, we start to rephrase our sentences again.

 I don't have an idea as this is not my major.

The completely avoiding plagiarism is the automation of research, see my science of research project

I am not agree on plagiarism software enhancing writing skills?

I do believe that  plagiarism checker can improves the writing skill provided the writer is willing to do so. Such software pushes ones limits to write something unique.

I partially agree with Raju.

Simply because you have to repeat the mentioned passages again and again in your own words so this will develop your ability to write.

Dear Emad Kamil Hussein

Interesting and stimulating question, which without fear or doubt I dare to recommend for its great involvement in the training of professionals, teachers and researchers, in order to promote originality and creativity in scientific productions and technological innovations.

One of the six answers mentioned above does not agree on the existence of anti-plagiarism software, probably because it does not know the scope of this instrument, both in training processes and in the editorial work in the review of papers sent to Scientific journals for publication.

In Mexico, I know the experience of the use of such software in the evaluation of the originality and quality of essays, which must be presented by the students of the Master's Degree in Bioethics at the Universidad Anáhuac.

Jose Luis

Estimado Emad Kamil Hussein 

Interesante y estimulante cuestión, que sin temor o duda me atrevo a recomendar por su gran implicación en la formación de profesionistas, docentes e investigadores, a fin de promover la originalidad y creatividad en producciones científicas e innovaciones tecnológicas.

Una de las seis respuestas anteriores menciona no estar de acuerdo en la existencia del software antiplagio, probablemente porque no conoce el alcance de dicho instrumento, tanto en los procesos de formación, como en el trabajo editorial en la revisión de trabajos que se envían a las revistas científicas para publicación.

En México, conozco la experiencia de la utilización de dicho software en la evaluación de la originalidad y calidad de ensayos, que deben de presentar los alumnos de la maestría en Bioética de la Universidad Anáhuac.

Yes,it surely can.

Dear Dr. Khansaa,

Thanks a lot for your agreement, but How?

Plagiarism software let us know where we have used others material and force us to write in our own language.

The effectiveness of plagiarism detection software as a learning tool in academic writing education

Plagiarism detection software (or more accurately, text-matching software) is commonly employed in a punitive capacity, detecting plagiarism after assignment submission. As an alternative to this approach, online plagiarism detection software was adopted as a learning tool for students instead. A trial was conducted in the foundation unit of the professional development component of the engineering degree at the University of Western Australia. Prior to the use of plagiarism detection software as a learning tool, efforts to instruct students regarding proper referencing and paraphrasing did not result in commensurate decreases in the levels of plagiarism detected. Many student assignments submitted displayed at the very least careless source acknowledgement. As part of the trial, students were given individual access to the software to self-assess their work as often as required prior to submission. The plagiarism detection algorithm assignment-originality statistics across three substantial written assignments throughout semester revealed continual and substantial improvement in student ability to avoid plagiarising. Through the use of this software, students were facilitated to learn how to properly acknowledge sources and improve their paraphrasing. This was accompanied by a dramatic decrease in the reportable incidence rates of plagiarism. Student perception of the use of plagiarism detection software in this capacity was also very positive.

Key Ideas:

---Plagiarism detection software was adopted as a learning tool rather than as a plagiarism policy enforcement mechanism.

---The approach encouraged more experiential learning.

---The approach relieved some of the burden for teaching staff checking student work prior to submission.

---The approach assisted in building a community of academic integrity. Adopting plagiarism detection software as a learning tool, the educator’s role was seen more as assisting writing skill development rather than policing plagiarism.

---There was a substantial 79% decrease in assignment first-draft mean level of plagiarism from the first to the second written assignment.

---There were no cases of plagiarism detected in the final assignment across approximately 620 students.

---Most students strongly agreed that access to the online plagiarism detection tool had been useful in their report preparations.

---Most students strongly agreed that the use of the online plagiarism detection tool had improved their ability to avoid plagiarising.

Dear Dr. Kundo,

Thank you very very much for your rich post, the most important statement that I am looking for is "Plagiarism detection software was adopted as a learning tool rather than as a plagiarism policy enforcement mechanism.", really, it represents the core idea that related to using such tool in enhancing writing skill.

Please accept my respect.
