Abstract In the digital age, academic integrity faces new challenges with the growing prevalence of digital plagiarism. The ease of copying and pasting content from online sources has significantly raised concerns among educators, researchers, and institutions. Plagiarism detection software (PDS) has emerged as a critical tool to combat this issue, providing efficient and accurate ways to identify instances of intellectual theft. This research Paper aims to investigate the effectiveness, impact, and role of plagiarism detection software in academic institutions, focusing on how these tools contribute to reducing plagiarism rates and promoting academic honesty. By reviewing the mechanisms of popular PDS tools, such as Turnitin, Grammarly, and Copyscape, the study evaluates their strengths, limitations, and overall efficacy in detecting both intentional and unintentional plagiarism. This study explores the ethical implications, privacy concerns, and potential limitations of plagiarism detection technologies. The research also aims to provide a critical overview of how these tools can enhance educational practices and contribute to a culture of originality and integrity in academic environments
Keywords Plagiarism detection software, digital plagiarism, plagiarism prevention, academic institutions, academic honesty, ethical implications, privacy concerns, technological tools.
