In 2014 plagiarism detection can seem like a purely technological affair. Between amazing technologies to detect text, images, audio and video copying, it seems like anyone should be able to put a work through a supercomputer and learn whether or not it’s plagiarized.
However, human intuition and instinct still play as big of a role as technology in spotting plagiarism.
Part of this is because, despite how far technology has advanced, there are still types of plagiarism that computers can’t spot.
