Plagiarism is a serious concern for editors. Tools such as 
PERK and the membership of all Elsevier journals in the COPE program have gone some way to helping editors address the problem. Nevertheless, both editors and Elsevier staff spend considerable time on the issue of plagiarism and how to combat it.
As a result, since June 2008, Elsevier has been a full member of CrossCheck, a service organized by
CrossRef in partnership with iParadigms, a plagiarism detection software provider. Liz Smith, Director of Journal Services, explains.
“With CrossCheck, users have an efficient way to check the content of a document against items in the CrossCheck database and a Web repository, to detect text matches that may represent plagiarism. The database will eventually contain over 20 million articles from published sources.”
