Abstract

Numerical values are calculated for each sentence in a document being checked for plagiarism and compared to numerical values determined for archive documents. If the numerical values match or are within a predetermined range of each other, a note is made and a reviewer can closely review the submitted document to make a determination whether plagiarism has been committed.
