Plagiarism
I'm looking for a program (freeware) that would enable to to check word documents for evidence of plagiarism. Any suggestions B3tans?

Answers to my inbox would be lovely... Ta

Or you could reply here.
You won't get such a thing as freeware. Any company providing such a thing would have to maintain a large database of articles to compare documents. Maintaining such a database would be expensive, and programmers making such a thing would make far more money selling it on to educational establishments than they would putting out as freeware and hoping to get by on donations.

Open the document in word.
Click on the 'edit' menu.
Click 'find'
Type 'evidence of plagiarism' in the text field.
Click 'find next'
Sorted.

my uni trialed some software that checked that sort of thing
the test found that 30% of all papers handed in had some kind of uncited material, then they tested it at one of the Oxford colleges down the road and found that 75% had some sort of plagiarism.

conclusion = bloody students

fine
I actually remembered the software with the dig about students Here

That's so badly disguised.
I remember actually some study someone did on some people about some website and they found that 25% or something clicked things. They went and did it somewhere it's cool to dislike and discovered that more than 25% of people clicked things.

This is the best thing since Rumsfeld's 'known unknowns' quotation.

But seriously, find a unique phrase or word and put it in quote marks in google.
Students don't use books to copy from any more.
