Language Log: The plagiarism circus

Very interesting post showing just how blunt an instrument iThenticate is for uncovering actual plagiarism.Β 

[N]ot one single match that iThenticate had found amounted to illegitimate copying. In the end, my dissertation’s fraud factor had dropped from 74 percent to zero.

Will anyone else do the work to ensure that, for example, copied words are from publications before the target document, or are not part of the bibliography, or are not properly attributed quotations?
