The ETH Library is working at full speed to replace PlagScan
Plagiarism detection software is now the responsibility of the ETH Library. We are doing our best to make a comparable software available to you as soon as possible.
Replacement of the PlagScan plagiarism detection software for purposes of information security
As of the end of 2022, the PlagScan plagiarism detection software is no longer available to professors and employees of ETH Zurich. Following the acquisition of PlagScan by the American company Turnitin, the software’s data protection and information security terms have changed. The ETH Library seeks to provide a replacement which can be used in compliance with Swiss data protection laws.
ETH Library now responsible for plagiarism detection software
In another recent development, the responsibility for plagiarism detection software now lies with the ETH Library. The ETH Library offers a variety of support services in the field of plagiarism prevention. These prevention and detection services are now available from the same provider.
We are working hard to find a suitable plagiarism detection solution as soon as possible. At present, we are clarifying outstanding questions.
You will be informed as soon as a new plagiarism detection solution becomes available for use.
