Dear Dr. Barman,

Thanks for your post.

We are thinking to get one anti plagiarism software and iThenticate Pay per Use offer being the cheapest, is being considered seriously. However, one of our Library Committee member informed that UGC is offering some plagiarism check software for free.! Is it true? I could not find it in their website.

I shall appreciate if you or any forum member can provide me detailed information about this software if available.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Dear Ray Sir, INFLIBNET previously used to provided access to the Turnitin free of cost for the universities, however, you know that in real sense nothing is free, the cost of the software used to be born by the MHRD centrally. I think in the year 2015, INFLIBNET switch over to Urkund and from that point onward they are providing access to the Urkund software free of cost to the universities.

Here are a few old discussions regarding the issues. You can always search our old forum post at: http://www.lislinks.com/forum?sort=mostRecentDiscussions

Dear Ms. Sharma,

Thanks for your post.

I have seen Dr. Barman's post and the details of the three prominent anti Plagiarism software.
I would like add another one called iThenticate and they have an unique provision called "PAY PER USE"  Here you can pay Rs. 17,700/- and buy rights to check 100 articles of 50 page each. If you complete the quota, you can again purchase  another set of 100 articles. I presume that for small/new institutes, it will be quite cost-effective. However, honestly speaking, I have not yet checked/used this software. So I can not confirm how good it is. It is a product of Informatics. Here is the link.
