“…Plagiat atau yang disebut dengan perilaku kriminal intelektual merupakan hasil pengutipan suatu karya tanpa mencantumkan referensi atau menjadikan suatu karya orang lain dengan menggunakan nama pribadi ((KBBI), 2016). Tidak hanya karya, pengambilan ide untuk sebuah penciptaan karya ilmiah tanpa menuliskan sumber data juga dikategorikan sebagai plagiat (Anderson 2009;Bakhtiyari et al 2014;Hussin & Ismail 2013;Ummul Khair Ahmad et al 2012). Di dalam dunia akademisi, seseorang diakui bukti keilmuannya melalui sebuah atau banyak hasil karya ilmiah berdasarkan riset data dan analisis yang kemudian mampu menciptakan sebuah inovasi.Mahasiswa dituntut tidak hanya mampu menyelesaikan tes kemampuan materi tetapi juga mampu menyelesaikan tugas akhir, skripsi, tesis, dan disertasi.Ironisnya, perilaku plagiat atau plagiarisme di dunia pendidikan Indonesia telah dianggap sebagai hal yang biasa.…”

Seseorang dengan mudah melakukan copy dan paste untuk mendapatkan informasi untuk menyelesaikan karya ilmiah tugas akhir.…”

“…Subsequently, PDS measure the level of similarity between the submitted work and their sources, and produce a report where submissions above a certain percentage of matching text are flagged (Ledwith & Rísquez, 2008). However, the threshold of matching text is set arbitrarily (Barrett & Malcolm, 2006), while some exploration of the submitted text is still required (Anderson, 2009), and the final judgment whether a student plagiarized or not remains with teachers (Badge, Cann, & Scott, 2007). Some PDS, such as WcopyFind, have more limited scope and check only between peer assignments leaving the internet out of their search, thus focusing only in the detection of collusion among peers.…”

The purpose of this review is to analyze and evaluate the research findings on using Plagiarism Detection Services (PDS) in universities. In order to do that, conceptual issues about plagiarism are examined and the complex nature of plagiarism is discussed. Subsequently, the pragmatic forms of student plagiarism are listed and PDS strategies on detecting plagiarism are accounted briefly. Research findings are categorized into four interconnected areas: (a) effectiveness and efficiency of PDS; (b) university and course context; (c) perceptions and attitudes towards use of PDS from educators; and (d) perceptions and attitudes towards use of PDS from students. Finally, the authors discuss their own perspective on the issue of implementing PDS in various educational contexts.
