ABSTRACT To Plagiarise is to include another person’s work, idea, method or results without due acknowledgement. In this work, we developed an innovative algorithm to detect external plagiarism in documents, using a combination of Word-n-gram and string matching technique. The suspicious document was split into sentences and further split into word n-gram and each n-gram was used to perform a pattern match on a standard PAN-09 corpora. We discovered that the best plagiarism detection occur...
