About Ephorus

Ephorus is a text recognition system which makes use of electronically delivered documents.

At the University of Bergen Ephorus is integrated with the student support systems Kark and My Space which makes it easy for the professor or the course administrator to send all deliveries to Ephorus directly from these systems. Please note that there can only be one Ephorus administrator per course in My Space. You can also upload documents directly from within Ephorus.

Ephorus analyses the uploaded texts and compare them to texts from public internet sources and previously uploaded texts from the University of Bergen. Should any similarities be found, the uploader will be alerted by e-mail. The results will have to be assessed by the local academic staff to decide whether plagiarism is involved.

The University of Bergen has developed guidelines for students regarding the use of sources in written work. These guidelines cover source citations, referencing and plagiarism.
