Have you ever received information from a SME and wondered where it came from? I’ve worked on a project that included more than 20 volunteer Subject Matter Experts and covered topics ranging from sales proposals to customer service. And while all of the SMEs contributed great information, some of them could not always remember what article they had found the information they were now passing on to me.
I wish I had known about this tool during that project! The Plagerism Checker does exactly what the name implies, check for plagerized content. It was designed to allow teachers to check their student’s work, but I’ve found it can help me double-check my SMEs and their content.
I ran a test using some information that I know came from a specific website, and the checker found it on the first try. I did find that it needed a substantail amount of text to analyze. I first tried submitting only a paragraph and I got an error message asking me to use more of the paper or essay I was trying to check. Test it out and tell me what you think!
