Background of the Study
Academic integrity is a fundamental aspect of higher education, particularly at the postgraduate level, where research outputs are expected to contribute original knowledge. Plagiarism, the act of using someone else's work without proper attribution, has become a growing concern in academic institutions worldwide. At Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, postgraduate students often face challenges in ensuring their research work adheres to academic integrity standards. AI-powered plagiarism detection systems have emerged as effective tools in identifying instances of plagiarism by analyzing vast amounts of text and comparing it against extensive databases of academic and online sources (Ogunleye & Isa, 2023). These systems use machine learning algorithms to detect similarities and potential plagiarism in research papers. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-powered plagiarism detection systems in improving academic integrity in postgraduate research at Federal University, Kashere.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing availability of plagiarism detection tools, many postgraduate students at Federal University, Kashere, struggle with maintaining academic integrity due to limited access to efficient plagiarism-checking systems. The traditional methods of manual checking are time-consuming and prone to errors. The study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-powered plagiarism detection systems in identifying and preventing plagiarism in postgraduate research, thereby improving the quality of academic work.
