Publisher linking services provider CrossRef, US, has announced that the American Psychological Association (APA) will implement CrossCheck, the plagiarism screening service powered by iThenticate. The Association is the 50th participant to implement the plagiarism service.
Launched in June 2008, CrossCheck is a cooperative service from CrossRef and iParadigms. It provides publishers with web-based text analysis and a growing database of scholarly publications against which to compare manuscripts and papers for duplication.
The CrossCheck database contains 13.8 million items from 23,000 journals, books, and conference proceedings. In addition to checking against documents from scholarly publishers, participants compare papers against relevant sources from the web and proprietary databases.
