Plagiarism check
Academic honesty is an important and self-evident concern for us. The university uses compilatio.net to check for plagiarism. Plagiarism in theses leads to failure.
The university uses PlagAware for plagiarism checks. Plagiarism in final theses will result in a fail.
With PlagAware, students can check their final theses themselves free of charge, thereby ensuring that no content has been copied and pasted from the internet without citing the source.
Students can access this service using their HFR IT account via Shibboleth at the following link:
