Summary
iPlagiarismCheck (also called checkforplagiarism.net) had been determined in the 2007 test to have results that bore a marked similarity to the results of Turnitin. The company insisted, however, that these just were the results that any system would give on the plagiarisms – although none of the other systems came even close to having an identical order and plagiarism amount to the turnitin results. 2008 we were not able to obtain a free test account, and thus paid for only 5 documents. These results were inconclusive. We decided this year to invest in a full 30-day license, and Turnitin put a honey pot paper into their database. iPlagiarismCheck – and only iPlagiarismCheck reported that this was a 100% plagiarism and gave as the source the non-existent link stored in the Turnitin database. This proves that there is no system here, just the crooked business of making money using other company’s software.
