Originality reports are usually available 24 hours after a paper is submitted and contain hyperlinks to matching material on the Internet and directions to retrieve matching papers from the database. Prices for the institutional plans are based on student enrollment. Thirty-day free trials are also offered. Students find their class on the site, enter a class password, and then paste their papers into a text box. An e-mail confirmation is sent to the student upon a successful upload.
Instructors receive an e-mail message when the originality report is finished.
A CD-ROM may be purchased that includes every report from the year. The other was a scholarly journal article copied from a full-text database. Granted, these are more sophisticated methods of plagiarism, but it does point out the limitations of this product. The prices are not unreasonable and will be affordable to most institutions. Highly recommended for high school and academic libraries.
