Academic plagiarism is a serious problem nowadays. Due to the existence of inexhaustible sources of digital information, today it is easier to plagiarize more than ever before.

We are now witnessing efficient plagiarism detection software in action, such as Turnitin, iThenticate or SafeAssign. In the introduction we explore software that is used within the Croatian academic community for plagiarism detection in universities and/or in scientific journals. The question is: is this enough? Current software has proven to be successful, however the problem of identifying paraphrasing or obfuscation plagiarism remains unresolved. In this paper we present a report of how semantic similarity measures can be used in the plagiarism detection task.
