(EN) VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: Information URKUND anti-plagiarism system

The sources used are:

• Internet.
• Published material consisting of hundreds of millions of books, reference works, scientific articles, etc.
• Student material It may happen that a student plagiarizes material from another student or that they work together with small variations to present to the teacher.

IMPORTANT:

1. Anti-plagiarism systems help detect plagiarism but are not a substitute for the examiner's work.
2. Teachers will analyze the report provided by Urkund.
3. Teachers make the decision to qualify a job as plagiarism or not.

Example:
A job uploaded to the platform and that the Urkund report provides 100% coincidence does not imply that there has been plagiarism. It may be that the same work has been previously uploaded by the same or another teacher to the platform.
Urkund has a system to exclude duplicates and perform a more accurate analysis.

In the following links you have help documents to use the tool.

Plagiarism report analysis.

Some considerations to take into account when sending files to analyze:

- The size of the file must be a maximum of 50MB. If the document to be analyzed exceeds that size, it must be divided into several documents.

- The file formats that are supported: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .sxw, .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .pdf 2.0, .txt, .rtf, .html, .htm, .wps, .odt, .odp, .ods, .tif, .tiff, .ps, .hwp, .zip (zip files are only supported when sent via email and certain integrations) and .pages (4).
Any other file format will not be accepted by the system.

- Not recognized: images, links (copied or shared), videos, scanned documents and protected or encrypted documents.

- Although the system admits compressed files, which would allow to include more than one document (of the same author) in the same zip file, it's recommended to send the documents individually.

In the following link you'll find information on how to avoid self-plagiarism in case of sending the same document several times, how to delete files, instructions to interpret the reports, etc.
