In order to counter the misuse of sources available on the web, the texts of the final papers are subjected to an anti-plagiarism check using special software. If the thesis advisor believes that the student has not used sources correctly, he or she may require the student to revise the thesis in its entirety and, if necessary, to postpone the dissertation to a later session.
