Subject:  Seeking plagiarised materials



I have a student who is doing a project on automatic
detection of plagiarism in written text (i.e. essays/term
papers etc, rather than in code/software). We're having
trouble getting our hands on documents on which her project
can be tested, and I was hoping that colleagues on this list
might be able to help.

What we need, in particular, are instances of plagiarised
documents where both the plagiarised document and the
original from which it is principally derived are available
in electronic format.

The likely scenarios for providing such materials are where
students are required to submit papers electronically
(rarely true at my own institution, unfortunately), where
one student has plagiarised another's paper, or has
plagiarised a known source on the internet.

Looking on the web, we've been able to find various sources
concerned with plagiarism, including instances of individual
documents that have been plagiarised, and other that are
available _for_ plagiarism (i.e. from "term paper mills"),
but not the combination of plagiarised+original as we
require.

If anyone is able to help us in this regard, either by
supplying suitable materials or pointing out where to find
them, we'll be very pleased to hear from you.
