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.

Additional functionality for users with the "Administrator" role

When creating a company within the administrator functionality, the following actions are automatically available to the user:

• going to the site with a list of restricted users;
• viewing the list of restricted users within the current company;
• removing restrictions from one or more users;
• imposing restrictions on one or more users;
• filtering and sorting.

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.

Restore documents deleted during the document check

If a document was deleted during document check before receiving the text reuse report, the document check will still be credit from the user’s account.

This document can be restored within 24 hours from the moment it was deleted.

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.

Displaying the tariff and limitations on checks on document upload forms

For the convenience of our users the forms for uploading and rechecking documents now display information about the current tariff and the number of available checks. If user has uploaded more documents than there are checks available at the current tariff, the system will display a warning and will not send the documents for check. Thus, users will be able to make the most effective use of the available checks for higher priority documents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Predicting the verification time

For the convenience of our users, we have added a display of the approximate waiting time for document verification.

We invite individual users to share their opinion about the our system

We want our system to be useful and convenient, so that it helps to search for loans quickly and efficiently. Therefore, it is important for us to know the opinion of users about the system, its advantages and disadvantages. We invite you to submit an application and fill out a questionnaire if you agree to participate in the interview and share your experience. The offer to fill out the questionnaire will appear in your personal account.

Changing the registration process via social networks

Registration via social networks has been simplified. The user no longer needs to set a password and confirm email, it is enough to select a social network during registration and log in to it. The system will automatically create an account and authorize the user.

Cross-language text reuse search regardless of the language of the document

Dear users, we are pleased to inform you about the pilot connection of the module for cross-language text reuse search, regardless of the language of the document being checked and the source. It is already connected to all our clients on a free basis. The module is being actively refined and improved using adaptive retraining.

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.

Multilingual bibliography

In December of this year, as part of the development of the functionality of working with bibliography, the system now not only finds and allocates a section with a list of references, but also splits it into separate bibliographic records.

A new form for rechecking documents

In the framework of improving the usability of verification forms, the form for rechecking documents has been updated. 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.

Simplified document loading in the system for individual users

In the system for individual users, we implemented a transition to the document upload form by clicking the "Check document" button. This makes document verification more accessible from anywhere in the system. The orange button is located at the top of the site next to the menu button and is visible on all pages. If you need to check a new document, just click on this button, and it will automatically open the document upload form in the User's Dashboard.

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.

Changing block display priorities

As part of the development of the full report and improving the user experience, we have adjusted the priorities for displaying detected blocks in the report. Display priority is given according to the list below, regardless of the block size:

• Self-citation
• Quotes
• Similarity

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.

Site navigation design changes

We have changed the design of the upper part of the site – where the "Menu" button is located, and individual users can see information about points and the connected tariff. In addition to changing the appearance, there are several new elements for individual users:

• The shield icon next to the tariff name indicates that the current tariff is paid. The number in parentheses next to it is the number of unspent checks available until the end of the tariff period.
• The "Check document" button automatically directs you to your personal account. In the future, we plan that this button will lead directly to the document upload form.

Changing the sequence of actions when replenishing the balance

In the system for individual users, the number of actions that need to be performed to replenish the balance has decreased. Now it is enough to specify the number of points and choose a payment method – bank card, electronic wallets, etc. Almost all payment methods are supported by the YUKASSA payment system. To use another payment system, it is enough to choose "Robokassa" among the payment methods.

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.

Updating the Citations module

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.

The original formatting of the document in the system for individual users

A new way of displaying text in the full report has been added - viewing the text while preserving the original formatting. This method is supported for files uploaded on Basic, Advanced и Full tariffs, and does not affect the results of verification. The functionality is available on the "Source View" tab in the full report.

On the Full tariff, the display of technical ways to increase the originality of the text is now available

The search for technical ways to increase the originality of the text is now available in the system for individual users. To find out whether the file contains attempts to artificially increase the originality or not, it is enough to check it using the Full tariff. If such attempts are detected, a link to a special report on suspicion will appear in the results of the check. In this report, the verified text is marked up depending on the ways found to increase originality.

Changes for the Free tariff in the system for individual users

The ability to recheck previously downloaded files is disabled. You can re-check the already downloaded file on the Basic, Advanced и Full tariffs.

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.

Changes for the Free tariff in the system for individual users

• The possibility of batch downloading is disabled - now on the Free plan, downloading files only one at a time.
• The limit on the size of uploaded files has been changed. You can download a file of no more than 15 MB for free.

If for some reason you need to delete your account, you can do it yourself without contacting support. Be careful - after deleting the account, it is impossible to restore the remaining points, connected tariffs, service packages and test results. You can use the functionality on your profile page.

Tariff validity counter

All paid tariffs for individual users have 2 restrictions: on the validity period and the number of checks. As part of this update, we have implemented the display of the remaining time according to the connected tariff plan. The counter is turned on when the tariff is activated and is displayed in the header of the site.

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:

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.

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.

Localization of the system into the Kazakh language

New FULL tariff for individual clients

Since April 30, 2019, a new "Full" tariff has appeared in the Antiplagiat system, which allows you to check documents for all possible search modules available in the Antiplagiat.EDU system.

Depending on your needs, you can choose 1 check for one hour (60 minutes), or 3 checks for one day (24 hours).

To activate the "Full" tariff, go to the Tariffs and Search modules page, in the column with the "Full" tariff, select the number of checks and its validity period, and then click on the "Connect" button. The system will automatically activate the tariff and connect all possible search modules, including the "Ring of Universities" module.

Please note that you have access to checks for all possible search modules and other tariffs. To do this, you need to connect the tariff you have chosen, and then additionally connect the package of services and search modules "Unified Collection".

Updating the Bibliographic Record Allocation module

Dear users!

Based on the feedback collected from you, we have finalized and improved the Module for selecting bibliographic records. We have configured its algorithms in such a way that they skip as few correct fragments of the bibliography as possible, and do not highlight plain text, especially in applications and fragments of program code.

To connect the Bibliographic Records Selection Module, contact technical support. If the module is already connected, it is updated automatically.

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

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.

Changing tariffs for individual clients

Since March 12, 2018, the tariff schedule for individual clients has been expanded. There are 2 new tariff plans, as well as the opportunity to purchase a tariff for a long period.

The logic of purchasing additional modules and services has changed:

• Additional modules and services can only be purchased at paid rates. At the same time, it became possible to purchase an additional module / service without reference to a specific paid tariff. For example: on the Basic paid tariff, you can connect the search module/service corresponding to the High Load tariff and vice versa.

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.

Changing tariffs for individual clients

Since February 20, 2018, changes have been made to the logic of tariff plans for individual clients. Now we charge for document checks on paid tariffs, and not for opening full reports.

Under the new conditions, a full report on the document is available immediately after verification on a paid tariff. If you have already downloaded a document and a full report has not yet been opened for it, then to get a full report, you need to double-check the document or upload it for verification again. Tariffs of the "Profitable" line purchased earlier (before February 20, 2018) and not expired will continue to operate on the same terms.

To simplify the understanding of the new tariff policy, we can assume that now tariffs are offered for purchase, including a certain number of checks and a limited validity period. In the new pricing model on any paid tariff, you can connect any of the available additional search modules for any available period.

In the future, other tariff plans will become available for connection.

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.

Duration of loading and checking documents

Implemented the display of information about the duration of loading and checking documents. This information can be seen in the following sections:

Amendments to Law No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data" came into force on July 01, 2017. According to these changes, it is necessary:

• place the "Personal Data Processing Agreement" in the public domain so that any user can read the terms before accepting them;
• make appropriate changes to the forms on the website so that our customers are notified about the collection and processing of personal data.

In order to comply with these points, we have posted an Agreement on the processing of personal data in the public domain. The link to the agreement is always available in the footer of all pages of our website.
