A comprehensive preventive approach

Combat plagiarism with Compilatio

Compilatio provides educational resources to prevent and detect plagiarism and copied-and-pasted text in written work (internship reports, research papers, dissertations, theses, etc.): software to check for similarities with online content, prevention materials, tools and training modules, assistance with monitoring an anti-plagiarism project, etc.

Compilatio supports educational institution administrations, teaching staff, students and writers in understanding plagiarism and the implications of respecting intellectual property.

Raise awareness

To ensure academic integrity,
Compilatio helps raise awareness among teaching staff and students to respect the work of others and copyright: handouts for guidelines to follow, online informational sessions, visual aids on plagiarism prevention, educational resources, etc.

Guide

To foster digital citizenship,
Compilatio provides support in teaching best practices for research, writing, citations and references: ready-to-use educational materials, detailed articles on methodologies and advice, online or remote training, etc.

Evaluate

To bolster the authenticity of written work,
Compilatio can be used to assess students' compliance and acquisition of knowledge by detecting plagiarism and similarities: anti-plagiarism software that checks online content and highlights duplicated text and plagiarised sources.

Plagiarism prevention and road safety: similar mechanisms

To follow best practices on the road and in education, prevention is an effective tool. Compilatio has applied the mechanics of road safety to the prevention of plagiarism. These two strategies of prevention have objectives and tools in common:

Inform about the regulatory framework through appropriate awareness-raising materials
Provide guided practice with learning and training
Evaluate adherence to proper behaviour with preventive measurement tools
Discipline cheaters and enforce punishments

Take responsibility upstream

Michelle Bergadaà

Professor and specialist in the connection between integrity and plagiarism

« It will never be sufficient simply to punish students who plagiarise: we should teach them to take responsibility upstream and create, across educational institutions, specific modules for informing, educating and helping those who might be tempted to cheat. »

L'Express article, "Plagiarism, an 'exponential phenomenon' in French universities", Céline Delbecque, September 2019

Challenges of active plagiarism prevention in secondary and higher education

The purpose of teaching is to inculcate new skills, help students find solutions to problems, learn to think for themselves and develop a critical mind. The promotion of integrity and honesty is essential for shaping future responsible citizens.
Students must learn to reformulate ideas, paraphrase, and cite sources. They must adopt proper behaviour to avoid plagiarism, respect the work of others and enrich academic and scientific research.

Desire to explain the definition of plagiarism and its different forms

Plagiarism is not always intentional. Indeed, how can you avoid it if you don’t know how to identify it? Compilatio strives to raise students’ and teachers’ awareness about what plagiarism is, its various forms and ways to respect copyright.

To put it simply, plagiarism is taking credit for someone else’s ideas, sentences, sayings, or concepts without the consent of the original author, without mentioning the author, without putting text in quotation marks, without indicating the source, etc.: that is plagiarism.

Regulated by the Intellectual Property Code, plagiarism is “illegal”: it is an act of cheating and falsification, an offense which calls for heavy penalties.

Teaching methodology

Opinion of a director - IFSI-IFAS Centre Hospitalier d’USSEL

« We use Compilatio's Magister software to prevent plagiarism among nursing students and to validate work submitted by students. The first year, we mainly used it for introductory-level research assignments. Then, little by little, we integrated it into our teaching methodology and used it for all written work submitted by students that required research […] »

Awareness-raising approach

Opinion of a Research Librarian - André Malraux Institute, Biarritz

« We use Compilatio not in a punitive way but in a process of raising awareness, in preparation for higher education. [...] We ask students to create a composite document, with an assortment of copied-and-pasted text, so they can see the percentage of similarities found by Compilatio plagiarism-detection tools. Then comes the work of learning, when students must adapt the copied texts... They must understand that they can use external sources, but they must absolutely cite them. […] »

Quality service

Opinion of a Documentation Information Advisor - Geneva Department of Public Instruction

« In 2007 the Schools-Media Department explored the market to choose a software solution for detecting similarities to supplement our system. This was the beginning of our constructive collaboration with Compilatio. […] the vast majority of our users are very satisfied, and very few want additional training. As for the project lead, the service is of high quality and matches our schools' expectations […] »

Educational aspect

Opinion of an Educational Consultant - CEGEP Régional de Lanaudière, Joliette
