| Description | The emphasis placed by academic communities as well as the general public on fighting plagiarism in students' theses has recently been becoming increasingly strong. Last year, seventeen Czech universities agreed to create a nation-wide registry of theses, which is to be utilized by an application designed to trace instances of plagiarism (similarities) in these works. Apart from the theses, the registry also aims to target seminar papers and publications. Its design, coordinated by Masaryk University, is to draw on the institution's technological experience in a similar project (Masaryk University's Archive of Theses, which has been in operation since 2004 and accessible to public since 2006) as well as the experience acquired during the process of collecting the theses and making these publicly available. It is also the expertise of the Electronic Theses and Dissertations Working Group members and the staff of University of Economics, Prague that is to be put into the project. The Masaryk University Archive of Theses (also linked to the application capable of revealing traces of plagiarism) has been developed as part of Masaryk University Information System (IS MU). The test version of the Archive can be found at http://theses.cz/. Demonstrations of use and information on the current status of the project, which has also been joined by private and foreign schools, represent the main part of the paper. |
