Science and Engineering Ethics, 14 (1), 139-147 DOI: 10.1007/s11948-007-9037-2The authors discuss plagiarism detected in papers written in Croatian in a medical school program, and note that the amount of plagiarism dropped significantly when the students were informed that their papers would be checked by software.
