Dear Aoir-ers -
What's in the hash? I assumed it was a very partial sketch of the paper, including things like the title, the first paragraph (perhaps) some keywords and the bibliography.
For my perspective on students' handing in others' work, this would be enough to sink the ship!
How would this breach the student's copyright if they have copied the paper to begin with????
Cheers, Denise
