How do you check if an answer on Musing.io is original and not plagiarized?
Everyone hates plagiarizes, especially written-content form copy-pasters . I have my ways of checking for plagiarism but would love to hear suggestions from the Musing community..
You can check using google, other search engines and some websites. If you copy a couple of lines from the answer, paste it on google and search, if its plagiarized you will find atleast the sources used or the whole article it was taken from.
If the answer was elaborated on a bit and had no literal word by word similarites than you can take the answer as an unique one. The answer who wrote it added value to it as he saw fit. Because not all topics on musing can be known to everyone.
But if the answer was just a copy paste a simple search would show even the slightest bits of the original one it was copied from.
@zayedsakib Thanks for the suggestion! There should be a line between being inspired by sources and straight up copy-paste with cosmetic edits though..
If you want to check the original content which is not plagiarized then you can go to google there are many software which help you to find the content is original or copy easily. I have some list of software given below;-
1)plagscan
2)copyscape
3)grammarly
4)ithenticate
This is 4 basic and popular sites which help you to find the plaglarized content or not and take help from it on musing.
@jaineel Thanks!!! Which do you think is the top of your list?
I don't think, there is any provision of such a feature right now, but this will be a nice enhancement to consider for future.
@sanmi You're reffering to within the Musing ecosystem?
Yes.
