CitePlag is the first prototype of a citation-based Plagiarism Detection (CbPD) System. The prototype was just recently demonstrated at this year’s SIGIR conference. So what’s novel about CitePlag?

Our new paper is available: ABSTRACT Plagiarism Detection Systems have been developed to locate instances of plagiarism e.g. within scientific papers. Studies have shown that the existing approaches deliver reasonable results in identifying copy&paste plagiarism, but fail to detect more sophisticated forms such as paraphrased, translated or idea plagiarism. The authors of this paper demonstrated in recent studies [4, 15] [...]

Also Zotero and Mendeley do have something like a workspace. For instance, Zotero has a workspace where the root is called "My Library" and this [...]
