DETECTION SOFTWARE
Probably the most high-profile case in recent years is that of Mr Supachai, whose PhD was revoked in June, 2012, after Chulalongkorn University found he had copied a substantial part of his doctoral thesis.
“After we proved it was really plagiarism, we withdrew his degree,” said Assoc Prof Amorn Petsom, dean of the university’s graduate school.
The dean said Chulalongkorn did not have plagiarism detection software at the time.
However, the university is now using a new Thai language detection program called Akkrawisuth, created by a team from the school’s arts and engineering faculties. “We have used two programs ... the English language Turnitin for three years and Akkrawisuth for one year,” Mr Amorn said.
“Plagiarism destroys the academic development of the country and it shows dishonesty on the part of the student. In academic circles we cannot accept plagiarism, so we have provided measures to avoid it.”
The dean told Spectrum that on June 25, Chulalongkorn and other Thai universities — private and state — will sign a memorandum of understanding to share their databases and allow other universities to use the Akkrawisuth program.
“This MoU will effectively help prevent plagiarism as the information can be searched widely both in English and Thai.
"It covers every level of education — bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and doctoral degree,” the dean added.
