-In certain cases, determining whether the submitted document is plagiarized may require certain contextual information including its readability, whether it's answering the topic head on, or whether submitter might have worked on the document rather "too quickly" (given the allotted time). Below are some of the tools (readability, word cloud, word statistics) we thrown in for teachers and evaluators to use.

Below are some of the tools (readability, word cloud, other word statistics) we thrown in for teachers and evaluators to use as background info. These tools are integrated in the mLaP service.

-So, the relevant question in relation to plagiarism might be, is this particular document submission consistent with the readability of the submitter's previous submissions? Is the piece's readability related to the readability of its sources (Roig 2001; Sun 2012; Torres & Roig 2005)? One study, for example, found that “incidences of potential plagiarism such as exact copying and near copying appeared to be higher for the low-readability text (33%) than the high-readability text (11.2%)” (Sun 2012: 302). Did the document submitters simply use paraphrasing tools (like [[https://paraphrasing-tool.com/|this]] and [[https://www.prepostseo.com/paraphrasing-tool|that]]) mechanically without making the texts truly "their own"?+So, the relevant question in relation to plagiarism might be, is this particular document submission consistent with the readability of the submitter's previous submissions?

A paraphrasing engine might have been used.

 +====Word Count====
 +Based on the total number of words, one may estimate how long it takes for an average person to read the piece, at the rate of about 130 words per minute. Similarly, the number of minutes or hours it takes for an average writer to write such piece may also be estimated. Has the submission been too fast, too good to be true? It probably is. \\ \\
