VroniPlag Wiki

VroniPlag Wiki only publishes text parallel documentation openly with names of the authors on theses that have been found to contain serious plagiarism.

As of February 2016, 152 dissertations, 8 habilitations, 1 master's thesis, and 1 book on scientific writing have been examined in detail on the site.

At the University of Münster, a text book on scientific writing for lawyers was found to contain massive plagiarism.

The dissertations of two of the book's authors, who received their doctorates at Münster University, were found to show extreme text parallels.

Since September 2015, Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen's thesis is under formal investigation by her university after the wiki alleged plagiarism on more than 40% of its pages.

Visualization of the findings proved to be a key factor for the reception. ^{[
