Writing on the Web / Rewriting on the Web / Plagerism on the Web
In searching for "plagarism prevention", Google came up with 14 hits - a surprisingly small number, with a relatively high number of "good results" (in the "peer review model"). The hits were so "uniform" in approach that this drove me to "DejaNews" to see what the street says about plagarism.- The Ecology of Academic Integrity In The Classroom, Carolyn S. Banning and James H. Banning, Campus Ecologist, Volume II, Number 4, 1984
