Discussion of a master’s thesis in the College of Computer Science and Mathematics – Department of Computer Science

Titled (Evaluation of the performance of textual plagiarism systems using software engineering metrics)

In continuation of the scientific research movement and with the follow-up and attendance of the Dean of the College of Computer Science and Mathematics, Professor Dr. Dhuha Bashir Abdullah, the respected

The master’s thesis (Evaluation of the performance of textual plagiarism systems using software engineering metrics) was discussed in the discussion hall at the College of Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Mosul on 4-9-2024 by the student Nawzat Hassan Ali Al-Bayati and under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Shaima Mustafa Muhyiddin

• The thesis submitted by the student dealt with

Evaluating the performance of programs used in detecting plagiarism or textual plagiarism and relying on indicators whose percentages were measured according to a group of previous studies with an analysis process for those indicators in order to find out the most important differences between plagiarism detection or plagiarism examination programs, and the study included the most important programs used in detecting plagiarism, which are: Turnitin, iThenticate, Grammarly, SmallSeoTools, and DupliChecker.

• The study addressed the use of a method to measure a set of indicators directly from a set of text plagiarism detection programs, then collecting the values ​​of those indicators by means of the proposed tool, which was designed in the form of an interface through which the performance indicators of each program are calculated in terms of (the download time for the documents being examined, the verification time for them, the accuracy of the results we obtain after completing the examination, the number of languages ​​​​supported by the program in detecting plagiarism, whether the program is open source or not, and other indicators) and then obtaining the final evaluation for each program.
• The study aims to / design a software tool to evaluate the performance of the most important plagiarism detection and plagiarism examination programs based on the indicators or measures whose impact in the evaluation process was studied.
