The "Professional Vocabulary" module has been added to the Antiplagiat system

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new "Professional Vocabulary" module in the Antiplagiat system, designed to reduce false positives in professional texts.

The system recognizes terms and names of regulatory documents from various professional fields, including law, medicine, and technical sciences, marking them in green instead of red in reports. This will save time when checking scientific papers and documentation.

Enabling automatic indexing of student papers

Now student papers will be added to the index of the company's own collection immediately when uploaded to the task, which will allow you to compare the papers in the same task with each other and identify similarity. If several attempts are given to submit the paper, when uploading a new version of the parer, the previous one will be deleted, and the new one will be added to the index. The new indexing logic will not affect companies working through the API.

New information has been added to the report for AI-generated texts

Now, in the report, you can get more detailed information about the documents that the system recognized as created using AI.

On the check results page, a percentage of the generated text was added relative to the entire document, an indicator called "AI content". This indicator is independent and cannot be combined with originality, similarities, quotes, and text recycling. If the generated text was not found in the document, the "AI content" will be zero. You can find the same indicator on the page with the description of the suspicious document.

You can print or upload information about the presence of AI-generated text as a special report. It is available:

• on the verification results page, click "Print" - "AI content";
• on the full report page, go to "Action" - "AI Generation Report";
• on the suspicion page, when opening the Generated Text menu (for the documents in which it was found) by clicking on the "Print the report" button.

If you have any questions about the indicator or the new report, please contact our technical support by email. support@antiplagiat.ru and by phone +7 495 223-23-84, ext. 2, as well as through the feedback form in the workspace.

Excluding tables from originality check

It is now possible to exclude tables from the document during the originality check, improving the accuracy of the results.

Introducing the New Search Module – RUWIKI

We are pleased to announce that a new match search module for the collection of materials from the Russian online encyclopedia RUWIKI has become available to users. The expansion of the index database amounts to more than 2.1 million articles available in Russian and in twenty other languages of the peoples of Russia. The RUWIKI library contains articles in various scientific fields, including chemistry, medicine, law, architecture, economics, and many others.

New logic for working with document structure

The logic of working with document sections (title page, introduction, etc.) has been changed.

When uploading a document for verification in the "Check taking into account structure" section, the checkbox for the "Bibliography" section is now unchecked by default. If necessary, you can check it manually.

If you decide to disable or, conversely, enable some sections after checking the document, you can now do this on the verification results page on the "Document structure" tab. When making changes to the document sections being checked, the check is not written off; after clicking "Save", you can go to the same report and view the updated information.

New functionality "Duplicate Detector"

The "Duplicate Detector" functionality has been added. It allows you to detect completely identical or very similar documents when checking them in different organizations. When checking in the corporate version of the system, all documents are included in the duplicate detector. If the same or very similar document is later checked in another company, it will be marked as suspicious.

For more detailed information, you can read the answers to the most frequently asked questions or watch the webinar recording.

New feature in the full report

The full report now has the ability to navigate through the source text and the document being checked in parallel. This makes it easier for the expert to work with the report.

API Update: New Sections in Document Structure

The ability to exclude new sections in the document structure via the API, as well as via the interface, has been added. New sections: introduction, methods, conclusions. When selecting the default settings, all sections will be checked. If your integration logic included a full document check without excluding sections, you will not have to change anything.

Updated document upload form

The form for uploading documents and texts for verification has been updated. Adding documents has become even more convenient: additional document uploads are available in the same window, all parameters are in view at the same time. If you encounter any difficulties when working in the new upload form, please contact our Customer Care Service support@antiplagiat.ru.

Adjusted the counter of spent checks for corporate users

The quota management tab now displays the number of checks actually spent by the user in the spent checks column, regardless of the quota issued to them. Managing the company's check consumption has become clearer and more convenient.

Added filtering by document status in the user account

Now you can filter documents in your account by their status and easily separate already verified documents during batch uploads.

Added the ability to delete users' personal data

At the request of users, when deleting accounts, it is now possible to delete their personal data: full name and email. This functionality is available to system administrators.

New sections in the document structure

New sections have been added to the automatically defined document structure:

• methods;
• introduction;
• conclusion.

These sections can be ignored during verification when setting the appropriate settings. If the sections are not defined automatically, they can be added manually.

Buttons for assessment and sending student papers for revision in the upper panel of the full report

For the convenience of teachers, you can now assess or send the paper for revision without going to the menu of the full report. There is now a separate form for each of the possible actions — assessment or sending for revision. The buttons in the menu are still available.

The counter of available checks in the user's workspace

A counter of checks available to the user is now displayed under the user's name in the system for the convenient planning.

Technical support has been renamed

Technical support is now called Customer care service. You can contact us via contact form in your workspace.

Moving on to the new report

We have switched to a new type of report. The new version contains all the necessary functionality and even more features than in the old report. The old report is not available anymore.

Ability to switch to Course management from the teacher's cabinet

For the convenience of teachers, you can now go to the course and tasks management page directly from the workspace by clicking on "Courses" in the left side menu.

Changes in the design of the archive courses page

Page of the archive course now contains an explanatory inscription about the impossibility of creating tasks and uploading papers to it, and the design matches to the archive task.

Renaming the module of the company's own collection

The search module for the company's own collection will now be called the same for all companies — "Сompany's own collection". Renaming does not affect the result of checking for this module

Additional functionality for users with the "Administrator" role

Users with the Administrator role now have access to the "Security" page to manage user work restrictions. On this page, the Administrator has the following options:

• blocking of users (one or several at a time);
• unlocking users (one or several at a time).

Editing a report

The full report editing mode is only available for its last correction. All other versions are available in the viewing mode. If the document was sent for rechecking, the previous report becomes unavailable for editing at the moment when the document began the rechecking process.

The "Author" field has been moved

On the verification results page, on the Document Properties tab, the Author field has been moved to the very top. If the Author field is not filled in, the line will be highlighted in orange.

New version of the default full report is now available

The new full report view is now available to all users by default. The old full report view can be accessed from the Full Report tab.

New document types added

On the scan results page, it is now possible to select one of the following document types on the “Document Properties” tab:

• educational program;
• educational and methodological complex;
• educational and methodological products;
• essay;
• postgraduate student's research report.

Display information about the Root Administrator

Due to the restriction of administrators' actions on creating users, now only the Root Administrator has the right to create, delete and change user data. Therefore, the Root Administrator now has a "SpecialUser" mark on the Users tab, and the display of information on the "Company Profile" and "Company Change" forms has been adjusted.

User profile adapted to screen width

Now the user profile is displayed correctly according to the screen width on mobile devices and tablets.

Access to a new view of report

Users now have access to the new default full report view. Access to the old report is retained and can be accessed via the Actions menu.

Addition of functionality to a new form of the full report

The following functionality has been added to the full report form:

• Displaying the text form of the report. Previously, only the original form was available.
• Displaying the source report on the same page as the report.

Detecting generated texts

Dear users!

We are pleased to announce the appearance of a new functionality – an algorithm for detecting fragments of texts created by artificial intelligence. We have developed a unique algorithm that allows you to automatically identify and mark the generated text. Moreover, this algorithm is trained to work also with large texts (articles, essays, GQWs, dissertations, etc.). The algorithm is got a text at the input, inside of it there is an analysis for the presence of text fragments that are presumably generated using deep learning models (GPT-2, GPT-3, ChatGPT).

For our users, documents with a suspicion of the generated fragment will be marked as a "Suspicious document" in the workspace and the results of the check. And it will be possible to get acquainted with certain suspicious fragments on the suspicion page.

Replacing a share in the report with a share in the text

Dear users!

We would like to inform you about new changes in the full report. We have replaced the display of the indicators "Share in the report" and "Share in the text".

• "Share in the report" – The ratio of the volume of similarities, which is taken into account within this source, to the total volume of the document. It means that if the same text was found in several sources, it is taken into account only in one of them. When summing up the shares in reports for all sources, an indicator of "Similarity" is obtained.
• "Share in the text" – The ratio of the volume of similarities of the text of the source to the volume of the document. The shares in the text by sources are not summed up when calculating the total percentage of similarities.

Based on our experience of working and development of the system, as well as on your feedback and requests, we decided to reverse places of these indicators. Now the first indicator of the source will be "Share in the text", and the indicator "Share in the report" is displayed in the additional information on the source. Such change will allow you to see more clearly how much the text of the document being checked matches each of the sources, and also exclude the situation when the indicator "0%" is displayed next to the source, which is often misleading.

The changes affected the following system interfaces:

• Full and brief reports.
• All printed forms of reports.
• A section with report default settings in User Profile.

Please note that the current calculation of indicators and sorting by them will not change. When adding up all the values according to the "Share in the text" indicator, you can get more than 100%, and this is normal. You don't need to sum up these values.

If you have any questions, please contact technical support.

System stabilization and support

• Stabilization of the current version of the system.
• Fixed the display of the free tariff icon in the header for all pages.
• An additional warning has been added on the document upload form about the need to enable the OCR option for checking documents without a text layer.

• Infrastructure changes.
• Correction of defects.

New view of the full report

Dear users!

Thanks to your helpful suggestions, comments and based on our own experience, we have prepared a new version of the full audit report.

To make the transition and adaptation to big changes much easier, we have kept the previous version, and it will be available to you by default. To familiarize yourself with the new interface of the report, in the "Actions" menu, select "Go to the new version".

The new version is still under development and does not yet support all the functionality, but already has the necessary minimum for work and even new useful functions:

• interactive mini-pages;
• expanded source area;
• displaying the text of the report with formatting on one page.

Access to the new interface is currently only possible for corporate clients. We will definitely provide access to all our users as soon as we complete the development of the planned functionality.

We will be glad to receive feedback from you on the new interface and report features via mail to our tecnical support.

Editing the structure

Added the ability to edit the document structure in cases when it is defined incorrectly. The structure of the document can be used when checking if you want to exclude some sections. To proceed to editing the structure, go to the "Document Structure" tab on the verification results page and click the button of the same name. The following actions are available to you for editing:

• Adding a section;
• Deleting a partition;
• Changing the boundaries of the section.

Please note that at the moment, in order to update the results of the report, taking into account the edited structure, the document needs to be rechecked.

New functionality for issuing quotas

Implemented a new functionality that allows you to increase or decrease the quota. There is also a functionality for applying a default quota, which you need to use in order to make a default quota from a user's personal quota. To perform an action with a quota, select the necessary users and click "Action". After that, select the necessary action that you want to perform with the quota.

Informing about training

For the convenience of users, we have added links to our training webinars and methodological documents in the system interface. These links will help you to use and implement the system most effectively and with greater benefit. Links can be seen:

• in the user menu
• in personal accounts
• in the footer of the site
• in the Help section

Please note that each role has its own links and accesses.

Filter by date in the Collection

Dear administrators, in order to stabilize the system and open pages faster, we have installed an automatic filter by date in the collection. By default, documents for the last 30 days are displayed.

*Similarities, not reuse

On December 21, a change in terminology was made in the system: the indicator "Reuse" was renamed "Similarities". This change is due to the peculiarities of the system, since automatically the system finds exactly the matches of the text of the document being checked with the text of the source. Whether the found text similarity is an illegal reuse, a correct citation or a random similarity is determined by the expert when analyzing the report.

Please note that the method of detecting sources, calculating percentages and other processes in the system do not change. Only the name of the indicator has been changed.

If you have any questions, please contact technical support.

Checking student papers taking into account the structure of the document

The possibility of checking student papers, taking into account the structure of the document, has been implemented. The teacher can select the sections necessary for verification when creating or editing a task in the section "Verification taking into account the structure of the document". By default, all sections are selected for verification.

The percentages of similarities, citations and originality are calculated based on the volume of the text in the checked sections. Those sections that were not selected for verification are not taken into account in the final result. Information about the proportion of verified and unverified text is displayed on the "Verification Results" page. Also on this page, on the "Document Structure" tab, you can see a thumbnail of the document and information about its sections.

Updating of the "SPS Garant" collection

Now documents are checked in two collections: (a) The "GARANT: Regulatory documentation" collection includes all existing types of legal information. Reuse from this collection are automatically identified as citations (b) The GARANT: Analytics collection includes books, media materials and scientific publications on the problems of the theory of law, taxation, accounting and financial audit. Similarities with the sources of this collection are defined by the system as reuse.

You can subscribe / unsubscribe from newsletters in the user profile settings in the "Informational Messages" section. When subscribing, you will receive messages about upcoming webinars, promotions, tariff changes, etc.

Summary report on verified documents

A detailed report on verified documents has been added to the general statistics of the organization. The report provides basic information about uploaded documents, including verification parameters (percentages of originality, self-citation, quotes, similarity), suspicion flag, status, data about authors, verifier, etc. The report contains a maximum of 100,000 recent documents.

Checking taking into account the structure of the document

We are pleased to announce a new feature connected to all our clients and individual users - verification taking into account the structure of the document. If earlier it was necessary to manually disable reuse on the title page, in the table of contents, the list of references and appendices, or even delete these pages from the document before checking for reuse, now the system will do this work automatically, determining the structure of the document. It is enough for the user to select the sections necessary for verification on the document upload form on the "Verification Parameters" tab.

The percentages of reuse, citations and originality are calculated based on the volume of the text in the checked sections. Those sections that were not selected for verification are not taken into account in the final result. Information about the proportion of verified and unverified text is displayed on the "Verification Results" page. Also on this page, on the "Document Structure" tab, you can see a thumbnail of the document and information about its sections.

Editing of the rubrication codes is available when checking a newly uploaded document. The functionality is available to corporate and individual users on all tariffs

Inviting students to a task from the teacher's office and viewing invited students

At the request of our university clients, we have implemented the invitation of students to the task from the teacher's office, as well as the ability to view the students invited to the task. The "Students" menu has been added to the teacher's office. There are two items in it: "Invite students" - to invite students to the selected task, and "View invited" - to view students invited to the selected task. The opportunity to invite students to the task from the "Course Management" is left.

New text verification form

As part of improving the usability of verification forms, the text verification form has been updated. By analogy with other forms, the new form consists of two tabs – "Document text" and "Validation Parameters". On the "Document Text" tab, you can enter the name of the document and the text to be sent for verification. If the name is not entered, it will be formed automatically from the first characters of the text. On the "Verification Parameters" tab, you can change the composition of the search modules for which the verification is performed, as well as other options. The change applies to individual and corporate users.

Displaying the full name of the teacher in the student's office

For the convenience of using the system, a display of the full name of the course teacher has been added to the student's office.

Division of courses into active and archival in the student's office

To make the system more convenient, the division of courses into active and archived is implemented in the student's office. Active and completed courses are displayed on the "Active" tab, archived and in the process of archiving – on the "Archive" tab. If there are active or completed tasks in the course and, at the same time, archived tasks or in the process of archiving, then this course is shown on both tabs.

The ability to change the name of the uploaded paper has been added to the teacher

To expand the capabilities of the system, the teacher on the "Adding paper" form can now change the name of the document uploaded on behalf of the student. By default, the name is formed from the name of the downloaded file.

The ability to select student papers sent for revision in the filter has been added to the teacher

For the convenience of using the system, the item "Sent for revision" has been added to the evaluation filter in the teacher's office. After selecting this item, a list of student papers of the assignment submitted for revision will be displayed.

By analogy with other forms, the new form consists of two tabs – "Documents" and "Verification Parameters". The Documents tab displays a list of titles and the number of documents to be sent for verification. On the "Verification Parameters" tab, you can change the composition of the search modules for which the verification is performed, as well as other options. The change applies to individual and corporate users.

Displaying brief information and a structure diagram

To make the information on the structure of the document more visual, we have added a special section on the "Document Structure" tab on the page with the results of the verification. After extracting the structure, the user will see a brief information on the structure and a diagram picture. The thumbnail clearly shows the detected sections, a list of sections that the system determines and the section parameters in the document are available. In addition, there remains a button to go to a new page, as was implemented earlier.

Output of reasons and comments for edited sources

In the last release, we reported the possibility to specify the reason and comment during the editing of sources. Now this information will be displayed in the "Comment" column in the printable version and in the PDF report. We hope that the new form of the printed report will be more understandable for the authors and the checking experts, and will also allow for a more detailed analysis of the results of the text reuse check.

Displaying deleted documents in the user's dashboard

Now in the user's account, you can see the documents you deleted and brief information about them: the date of document upload, the time of the start of verification, the document format, the document name, the originality indicator, the date of document deletion, etc. You will not have access to the full text of the deleted document, full or short reports, and you will not be able to restore deleted documents within this interface.

Defining and displaying the document structure

We have implemented a new feature - extracting and displaying the document structure. So far, the structure is extracted at the request of the user (clicking on the button), and not automatically. This feature is available on the page with the results of the check, on the special tab "Document structure". After the structure is extracted, the user can go to a separate page where the document with formatting and markup of structural sections will be displayed.

We plan to refine this functionality so that the structure is automatically extracted for all documents being checked, as well as taken into account when checking for reuses and when calculating the percentage of originality.

Automatic shutdown of small sources

Working with the report should be not only convenient, but also fast. In this update, we implemented automatic shutdown of small sources that do not make a significant contribution to the verification report. Automatically disabled sources will be displayed in a separate list and, if necessary, you can always turn them back on.

Entering the reason when editing sources in the full report

To make the results of editing the report more transparent and understandable, we have expanded the information about excluded sources and sources with a modified type. Now, while editing the full report, the expert can explain why a particular source was excluded from the list of sources or why the source type was changed. The expert can also leave an arbitrary comment. This information will be useful for all specialists who view and analyze the loan report, as it allows you to see why the source was edited.

The reason and comment are displayed in the full and summary reports. In the near future, we will add the output of these parameters to the printable version and the PDF report.

Marking of the sources indicated in the bibliography

For the convenience of the expert's work with the report, automatic marking of the found sources for their possible coincidence with the bibliography of the document being checked is now available. It will be easier for an expert to analyze such sources and, if necessary, change their type.

Localization of the system

Now the system is available in Polish and Uzbek.

• Self-citation
• Quotes
• Similarity

A new type of verification certificate

As part of the update, we have implemented a new design of the verification results certificate, in which we tried to take into account your wishes. Now the help has more spacious fields and you will not have to face the problem when something does not fit. The display of the test results on the help has become more visual, we have visually separated the test results from the rest of the information for your convenience. We also added information about the suspicion of the document and the correction of the report to the help, which in turn is important information for the inspector.

We also added a new field to the uploaded help that reflects the author. for which self-citation is calculated. This is done to be able to identify cases when, when uploading help via the API, another author is installed (which is displayed in the "Document author" field), and in fact the "Self-Citation" indicator is calculated for another person. In case of conscientious paper, the authors in the fields " Document author" and "Self-citation calculated for" must match.

New document upload form

To improve the usability of the system, the form for uploading documents for verification has been updated. Now the names of all uploaded documents are displayed on the form, and the verification parameters are placed on a separate tab. The change applies to individual and corporate users.

Two-factor authentication for administrators

We are pleased to introduce new functionality for additional protection of administrator accounts, and therefore your entire organization from unauthorized access. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional confirmation of an action in the administrator account by entering a numeric code from the 2FA application. The 2FA functionality is connected for free at the request of the root administrator, to connect you need to contact technical support. After connecting, Administrators and Administrators of the joint venture will have access to the "Setup 2FA" tab in the user profile. On the tab, you can link your account to the application to generate 2FA codes.

Dear users! We are pleased to announce a new major update of corporate products.

Firstly, we have moved the tariff information from the "Company Profile" to a separate tab in the Administration Menu.

Secondly, we have implemented the long-awaited functionality to limit users by the number of checks. Now the administrator in a special section can set quotas for checks available to the user, thereby avoiding their misuse. The administrator can set both an individual quota for any user of the company, and a "default quota", which will be applied to all new users, as well as those who do not have an individual quota.

More detailed information about setting quotas is provided in the administrator's user documentation.

Automatic extraction of the author to calculate Self-citation

Dear users!

As part of the first update after the 2020 summer session, we implemented automatic extraction of the author's full name from the document being checked.

When uploading a document for verification, the System will independently extract the author's full name and, based on the extracted data, immediately calculate the Self-citation indicator. If necessary, you can adjust the extracted full name and recalculate the percentages.

This functionality is available to all our corporate clients. In the system, the functionality is available for individual users only within the framework of paid tariffs.

Dear users! We have made improvements to the algorithm for determining correctly formatted citations. Now the text framed with a footnote will also be defined as a citing:

A new algorithm for finding reuse

Dear users!

As part of this update, we offer you a new, improved algorithm for finding reuse - a search taking into account minor changes in the text (changing the endings of words, inserting and rearranging words inside sentences, etc.). The algorithm allows you to quickly identify minor editing of the document text, regardless of the search modules used. When the algorithm is activated, the system will search for reuses in all search modules selected at the time of verification, except for "Citations", "Bibliography", "Common expressions", "Paraphrasing Modules".

While uploading documents, select the necessary search modules for verification and check the box "Search for paraphrasing". When checking student papers, a check mark is set for the entire course as a whole on the course editing form. The found text fragments are marked as reuse and are included in the percentage of similarities in the report.

A new algorithm is already available to all corporate clients within the framework of existing tariff plans. For individual users - it is connected automatically on any paid tariff.

New logic of the "Citations" module

Dear users!

Based on the feedback collected from you, we have finalized and improved the Module for highlighting correctly designed citations. We set up its algorithms in such a way that they more accurately highlight the text of the citation and as rarely as possible falsely triggered. Please note that when rechecking previously uploaded documents (using the same search modules), minor changes may appear in the results of the check, which is due to the new logic of the "Citations" module.

The algorithm determines as a quote the text taken in quotation marks and satisfying at least one of the conditions:

• before the quote is indicated the full name of the author of the quote, or surname and initials, as well as the word denoting the statement (says, writes, asserts, etc.):
  • I.V. Kurchatov said: "Human life is not eternal, but science and knowledge cross the threshold of centuries."
• after the quote there is a link to the source (in square or round brackets).
  • "Gravity is not an ordinary force, but a consequence of the fact that space–time is not flat, as previously thought; it is curved by the mass and energy distributed in it." (C. Hawking, A Brief History of Time, p.48)

Remember that correctly framed quotations are a sign of quality work, and quoting it is defined in the report as a separate indicator and is not included in either similarity or originality.

Indication of the author

Dear users!

We are glad to announce the appearance of new functionality. As part of this update, we have added the ability to specify the full name of the author of the document on the verification results page. By specifying the author, you will start the process of automatically calculating the percentage of self-citation with the possibility of subsequent manual adjustments. The percentage of self-citation will be calculated from the eLIBRARY collection.

For student papers uploaded via assignments, the full name of the student is automatically indicated as the author. Correction of this field will not be available at the current moment. The author you have specified will appear in the printed versions of the reports and the uploaded help.

Please note that when the author changes, a new report correction is created.

Manual indication of self-citation in the report

Dear users!

We are glad to announce the appearance of new functionality. As part of this update, we have added a new percentage indicator "Self-citation" and the ability to manually adjust the source type from similarity/citation to self-citation if links to the author of the work being checked were found when checking the document.

Do not forget to click on the "Recalculate" button after changing the source type. After recalculation, the source marked as self-citation will change its color, and the source blocks in the report text will also be repainted.

We would like to draw attention to the fact that the indicator "Self-citation" is a self-sufficient indicator of verification, is not included in existing indicators and is calculated separately.

Now we are actively working on finalizing the page with the results of the check and automatic self-citation detection. In the near future, new functionality and new opportunities to work with the system will appear.

Changing block display priorities

As part of the update, we adjusted the priorities for displaying detected blocks in the report. The priority of the display is given first to the quoted fragments, and then to the already reused ones, regardless of the block size:

1. Quotes
2. Self-citation
3. Reuse

Checks on the Wiley collection (Wiley Online Library)

We are pleased to inform you that since December 4, 2019, all our corporate clients have been connected to the Wiley open source collection for free.

The collection of open Sources is part of the Online Library and consists of 220 journals, which is almost 75 thousand articles. Verification by sources will be performed in two modes – mono-language search through the Wiley collection and search using the cross-language search module. If, as a result of document verification, similarities are found with text fragments from the logs of the new collection, new modules will be displayed in the reports.

Please note that the new functionality is available to all our corporate clients for free during the test period until March 1, 2020. On the specified date, the search module will be disabled and checks on it will not be possible.

We would appreciate your feedback regarding the convenience and necessity of using our new collection!

Output of tag functionality

We analyzed the use of the tag creation and management functionality implemented in 2016 and were convinced of the lack of demand for this functionality. Tags were conceived as a flexible alternative to the rigid structure of the organization, but, unfortunately, they could not meet the expectations placed on them. At the end of 2018, we successfully implemented the ability to manage the organizational structure of the organization, which became available as part of the product for organizations with complicated structure.

In this regard, we would like to inform you that as part of this update, the functionality of creating and managing tags has been excluded from all of our products.

Extension of cross-language search modules

We are pleased to inform you that we have new cross-language text reuse search modules. Russian is a new module for finding translated reuse: from English to Russian, from Russian to English, from English to Kazakh, and from Russian to Kazakh. The order of connecting modules is as follows:

• All search modules are available to individual users when connecting the FULL tariff, or connecting the "Unified Collection" within the paid tariff. Separately, the connection of the cross-language search module from English to Russian is still available.
• All new corporate clients are connected to all cross-language search modules when connecting the "Unified Collection"
• For corporate clients with a valid connection with a set of "Unified Collection", all modules will be connected within a week on a free basis.

Other changes

• Added a warning about the page limit when using OCR for corporate users.
• The wording in the FAQ answers on the system's website has been corrected.
• Changed the text of the tips on the pricing page for individual users.

Other changes

• Added filtering by search modules in the full report.

Percentage of originality

Dear users! In user cabinets, the percentage of originality is displayed. All other parameters and results of document verification are still available on the "Verification Results" page.

Other changes

• The footer of the site has implemented the display of links to go to the corporate blogs of our company.
• Simplified receipt of a direct link to the report has been implemented. Now the link is immediately copied to the clipboard and displayed on the same page where it is requested.
• On the "Suspicious Document" page, when clicking on the page number, an automatic transition to the "On page" tab with detailed information about crawls on a specific page is implemented.

Now you don't have to perform additional actions in the system to view the information and aggregate it yourself.

On the "Cabinet" page, the percentages of verification and the buttons for switching to a short and full report have been removed, the "View results" button has appeared instead. By clicking on it, you will see a new page "Verification Results", through which you can now switch to a full or short report. In addition to viewing information about the document and its verification, the page displays a standard set of actions on reports, which is also available on the pages of the short and full report.

This functionality is currently available only through the web-interface.

Index of approved documents

The system has implemented a new functionality "Creating an index of approved documents". This functionality makes it easier to check written papers that use standardized methods, templates for describing experiments, questionnaires, etc. Similarities with such documents in combination with properly designed links to them are correct. But earlier in the verification report, they were taken into account only as a percentage of reuse and did not visually differ from the rest of the incorrectly recycled fragments. To ensure that the analysis of such cases does not cause difficulties, we have developed an index of approved documents. With its help, the administrators of the system in the organization will independently form a set of documents, similarities with which are immediately taken into account in the percentage of citations and are highlighted in the report as correct reuse.

This functionality is an integral part of the system, is included in all corporate products and is already connected free of charge to all corporate clients.

If you have any questions, please contact technical support.

Integration with external federations FEDURUS and RUNNET

We are glad to announce another way to simplify the use of the system! If your organization has an contract with our company and is a member of one of the external federations FEDURUS or RUNNET, then you can connect external authorization through these systems. In this case, user administration will take place only in one place - inside your directory service. Your administrators don't have to duplicate actions with users inside Plagiarism detection system, such as registration/editing/blocking, etc. And users will not have to remember new access data: one login and one password for all external resources. The functionality is connected for free at the request of the root administrator of the Plagiarism detection `system to our technical support service. Before enabling external authorization, we strongly recommend testing the setup first. To do this, we will provide you with a separate test access.

Introduction of restrictions on uploading documents in DOC format

Dear users!

We analyzed the statistics on documents over the past year and came to the conclusion that when uploading documents in doc format, there may be problems with processing and extracting text and, as a result, incorrect results of checking for reuses. The doc format was replaced in 2003 by a more technologically advanced docx. Since then, the share of documents in doc format has been steadily decreasing. Based on the analysis of statistics, we have developed and implemented the following changes:

• In the process of interaction between "Teacher" and "Student", it is prohibited to upload archives and documents in doc format to tasks.
• For other roles, when uploading documents in doc format, a warning about possible text extraction errors and a recommendation to convert the document to another format will be displayed.

New product line for corporate clients

Dear corporate users!

We are glad to announce that we have expanded our product line! Now you have the opportunity to connect:

• Product only for usage via API – for integration with other information systems. Access to the text reuse search functions (document verification, indexing, report request) is carried out only through the API interface.

• Product for organizations with complicated structure. The product includes the features of the product for universities, as well as support for working with the structure of the organization.

• Product for associations, consortia, organizations with separate divisions, branches, representative offices geographically remote from each other. For each separate division, its own software product is created, which takes into account the peculiarities of this division.

Regardless of the type of product, reaching the verification limit now does not lead to disabling your company's tariff – users can log in to the system and view previously created reports before the date of tariff deactivation.

Automatic termination of an active session

Authorization via the SAML protocol

Dear corporate users! We are pleased to announce the appearance of such an opportunity as enabling authorization via the SAML protocol. This type of authorization allows you to integrate the Plagiarism detection system and your authentication and authorization service. This will allow your users to log in to the Plagiarism detection system using the credentials of your directory service, so they do not have to remember new data to access the external system. And the responsible persons will greatly simplify the administration of the system since all user management will take place inside your directory service.

This authorization is suitable for configuring access via AD FS.

The main technical requirements for AD FS on the client side:

• Microsoft Server 2008 and higher (for Microsoft Server 2016 LDAP)
• Installed and configured AD FS service (not lower than version 2.0.)
• SSL-certificate

This functionality is connected free of charge at the request of the root administrator of the Plagiarism detection system to our technical support service.

Uploading the original student papers

For the role of "Teacher" in corporate systems the ability to upload the original student paper was implemented.

Statistics

Three new statistical reports have become available for corporate users:

• Statistics on courses and assignments. For each task, aggregated information about the process of work delivery by students is available. Statistics provide quantitative characteristics for active and completed tasks, as well as the average percentage of originality for the works uploaded to the task. Fixing the time interval allows you to filter the task: only those tasks whose task validity period intersects with the specified interval get into the statistics. The task validity period is the period starting from the start date of the task and ending with the completion date, including both specified dates. Quantitative and averaged characteristics are displayed for the current date.
• Statistics on the originality of works. Aggregated statistics on student papers, developed on the basis of a request for statistics from the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 667. Allows you to get information about the originality of student papers, depending on the type of work and in accordance with the specified limits of the percentage of originality. Please note that in order to obtain more complete statistical data, it is necessary to assign one type of document to all the works uploaded to the task.
• The intensity of user work. This report displays the number of downloaded, verified documents and the average percentage of originality for these documents for each user of the system. It serves as a basis for investigating cases of excessive use of checks in the system.

New reports are located in the "Statistics" section in the System administrator Menu. Generated reports are not displayed in the interface and are only available for uploading in CSV format.

We also draw your attention that changes have been made to previously implemented reports:

• To improve the understanding of the values of metrics, the names of some of them have been adjusted: Verified documents/The checks made/The documents submitted for the reports built/The documents uploaded.
• In the report "Detailed report on student papers", the percentage of originality is now displayed for all papers, regardless of the established grade.

System stabilization and support

Dear users!

The most difficult period in the life of students and teachers is coming to an end - the training session is coming to an end. During this time, we have tried to make the work in the system as stable and resistant to increased load as possible.

In addition to the huge work on system stabilization and support during the session, we implemented several improvements:

• for corporate clients using authorization via AD or GSuite, the ability to check settings has been added;
• changed the naming logic of archives and folders on the SFTP server when publishing student papers;
• for corporate clients using OCR recognition, it is possible to choose the method of text extraction (with or without OCR); the revision concerns only the verification of documents by Experts, the verification of student papers will always be carried out using OCR recognition;
• updated texts and formats of emails sent by the system robot.

We are also glad to inform you that from 05.06.2018 new search modules are available to our customers: the Internet Paraphrase Search Module and the Paraphrase Search Module eLIBRARY.RU . These search modules will be connected automatically to all corporate clients who have Internet and eLibrary collections available. For individual users, these modules are available for connection on the Rate plans page.

These modules allow you to find text reuses from Internet sources and the eLibrary collection.RU taking into account the replacement of words with synonyms, insertion /deletion of words, changes in word forms, rearrangement of parts of a sentence. The found text fragments are marked as similarities and are included in the percentage of similarity in the report.

Update history

Dear users!

We are glad to inform you that the most up-to-date information about updates to the system is available to you. Now each update will be accompanied by a brief description of the system changes.

The module for searching common expressions

Since April 12, 2018, a new search module has become available to all our corporate clients, allowing them to automatically determine the presence of commonly used expressions in the document being checked: the name of universities, introductory words, etc. Similarities detected by this module are marked in green in the verification report and their contribution is taken into account in the "Quotes" indicator. The exception is the case when the quote is part of a larger reuse block. In this case, the whole fragment is considered by the system as a reuse.

Bibliographic records selection module

Since April 12, 2018, all our corporate clients have had the opportunity to connect a new module for determining bibliographic records. Using this module allows you to automatically identify and highlight the bibliography (list of references) in the document being checked. If earlier some elements of the bibliography were marked as reuse, now they will be considered citation. Which gives each user a more honest assessment regarding the detection of reuse blocks. This search module will be connected on request on a free basis.

If you are interested in the work of our new search module, then to connect it, contact the sales department or the technical support service.

Identifying the document language

The possibility of manually specifying the document language when using the "OCR" service is implemented. If the user has OCR recognition enabled, then when uploading a document for verification, he needs to select the language of the document being uploaded.

As part of the current update, the ability to recognize document texts in new languages has been implemented. Previously, we could use OCR recognition only for Russian and English. If you upload a document, for example in Kazakh or any other language, then as a result the user received either a recognition error or a set of incorrect characters. Now the list of languages has expanded significantly. In addition to the existing ones, support for new OCR languages has been added:

• Azerbaijani (Latin);
• Belarusian;
• Kazakh;
• Kyrgyz;
• Tajik;
• Turkish;
• Ukrainian.

Other

• Added sorting and filtering by the "Login Date" field on the Administration page.
• A terminological block with a description of the values of "Reuse", "Citing", "Originality" has been added to the printed forms of reports.

New names of uploaded reports and certificates

Previously, the files of uploaded reports and references in pdf format were called a unique number consisting only of digits, for example, 63654739646228.pdf. To simplify the work of users with uploaded reports and verification certificates, changes were made to the names of uploaded files.

The uploaded report is now called Report_123_20170117_Ivanov.pdf, where:

• Report - indicates that this is a report and not another uploaded file
• 123 - document number in the user's account
• 20170117 - the date of correction for which the report is uploaded
• Ivanov - full name of the author

The uploaded certificate on the results of the check is called Сertificate_123_20170117_Ivanov.pdf, where:

• Certificate - a designation that this is a reference, and not something else
• 123 - document number in the user's account
• 20170117 - the date of correction for which the certificate is uploaded
• Ivanov - full name of the author

Changing the role name

From 12.03.2018, for all corporate clients, the name of the role "User" was changed to "Expert". Only the name of the role has changed, all the functionality remains the same.

For individual clients, the role name has not changed.

Captcha

In order to increase the security and stability of the use of the system for users of the individual clients site Google's captcha has been implemented for the most active actions

The captcha is embedded:

• On the password recovery form;
• To the support contact form;
• To enter an incorrect password;
• To check/recheck the document/text (only for individual clients on a free tariff).

Restricting users in password Recovery requests

In order to increase the security and stability of the use of the system users who have an ability to change their password now have a time limit on an independent password recovery request. The break between such requests is now 1 hour.

Any changes to the report are now not only saved, but also displayed to the user. In the "Report History" information is available on all adjustments that were made while working with the report.

It is possible to switch between adjustments. The report itself displays the date and time of the open correction. You can view the "Report History" and all adjustments inside the full and short report by clicking the "Report History" button in the top menu, as well as in the user's personal account.

Save and not exit

Implemented the ability to save changes in the report without leaving it. The "Save and Exit" button has been replaced with "Save" and now only saves the changes made. After saving the new adjustment, you remain in the report and can continue working. It is still possible to exit the report using the navigation buttons.
