.................... is a limitation of plagiarism software in research.

  • A.Types of research
  • B.Language of research report
  • C.Level of research
  • D.Nature of research

Answer: B

The limitation is the Language of research report.

Plagiarism software such as Turnitin or Ouriginal (Urkund) compares a document against its database of published and web text. These databases are richest in English, so a report written in an Indian language such as Marathi or Hindi, or in a non-standard script encoding, is checked far less reliably and copied matter can go undetected.

The type, level or nature of the research does not change how the matching works: a PhD thesis and a project report in English are checked the same way. The language of the text is what restricts the software.
