Quote Crosscheck "The system doesn’t actually detect plagiarism – plagiarism implies intent and that’s not something computers can identify. Instead it identifies matching text in different documents and then a knowledgeable person has to look at the results as part of the editorial screening process. We are pleased to be working with iParadigms and using the iThenticate service. Ultimately, the whole research community will benefit from CrossCheck.” - Ed Pentz
