Plagiarism Appeal Changes At Demand Studios
Date: Aug 19, 2009      Category: Demand Studios, Web Content
Demand Studios just announced new changes to their plagiarism appeal process for articles that would automatically be flagged by their plagiarism detection search. In the old system, the checker would flag your article and send an automatic e-mail. You then had to reply to that same e-mail with the title of your article and explain that the article was not plagiarized.
The new system now automatically puts flagged articles in the queue for the editorial staff to check. You do not have to e-mail the editors anymore, they will e-mail you. If an article passed editorial plagiarism check it will be released to a copy editor immediately. However, if your article was plagiarized, an editor will contact you directly.
The rewrite rule is the same as before, your article will again go through a plagiarism check and it will be sent to the flagged queue. Again, you will not have to e-mail the editors they will manually review all flagged articles and approve.
I knew their plagiarism checker was faulty because I had it happen on a handful occasions, and it was always on health related articles. There is only so many ways to explain a symptom of a medical condition, of course it will be the same word found on another website. My articles always passed after an e-mail to the editors was sent, but it was annoying. I’ve had editors e-mail me and apologize for the flag as it was obviously in error. I’m glad they made this change, yet another great move by Demand Studios!
