Academic and Article Writing

I conduct a lot of work in terms of writing academic papers as well as articles, on a ghost writer basis. One has to be very aware of the issues of plagiarism, which is right. Effectively I see plagiarism as theft and it isn't fair on the person who wrote the original work.

There are sometimes however times that when you have written a paper or an article that a high percentage of plagiarism, and after a bit of research I have realised it was due to the references being included in the plagiarism scanner. So next time you check your work for plagiarism, omit the references or bibliography to get a truer reflection of your work.

A handy tool for checking plagiarism can be found at Plagiarism Detect, this might come in handy for fellow writers....
