Urkund: detecting plagiarism
The Urkund system is a tool to detect plagiarism (PDF, 59 Ko) in work submitted in electronic format.
To use the software, students must send their work in text format from their Sciences Po email to the instructor’s Urkund address (firstname.lastname.scpo@analyse.urkund.com).
This address is preconfigured in the Google G Suite contacts for each student enrolled in your class. The document is stored and analysed on the Urkund server.
All documents are checked against three types of “comparative corpus”: the Internet, published material (books, magazines, press) and texts previously submitted by other students (more than 33 billion documents).
