Powerful plagiarism prevention tool also protects Academia from legal threats.

Global Executive Management Ltd. announces PowerResearcher as a solution to the legal threats to Academic Institutions preserving Academic Integrity against Plagiarism.

Bermuda (PRWEB) June 6, 2004 -- The recent threatened action against University of Kent at Canterbury, UK, by a student caught plagiarizing, as reported in the UK on May 27, 2004, has alerted the academic community to potential legal liability" says Stephan Botes, CEO of Uniting Networks Incorporated.

Institutions seeking to preserve academic integrity have been left with few options; education, prevention and detection. And even where plagiarism was detected, institutions have been threatened with lawsuits by students, professing innocence or inadvertent plagiarism. Since a detection service can hardly identify the intent of the plagiarist, only blatant and glaring cases seem to get attention. Besides, detection services are limited to the public web and only those private and journal databases on the deep" web they may have access to, and the deep web is 400 to 450 times larger than the public web! So you detected plagiarism and you are threatened with litigation, how do you determine and prove the intent of the plagiarist, intentional or not? Well, PowerResearcher enables you to. Botes added.

PowerResearcher, a powerful Research Process Automation tool, is a desktop application that not only improves the speed and quality of research, making writing, citing, bibliography, publishing and sharing easier, it integrates it all into one single interface. It prevents plagiarism by recording, date and time stamping URLs and sources whenever information is copied or downloaded from the Internet. It requires building of bibliographies and citations while tracking the entire process, including the writing, protecting the innocent researcher against inadvertent plagiarism. The intentional plagiarist is easily identified by the effort to which they had to go to override the PowerResearcher plagiarism prevention and tracking features" Botes concluded.

PowerResearcher, used in conjunction with a detection service, appears to provide the most comprehensive plagiarism prevention strategy.
