Our tool analyzes the metadata of a .docx-file, in order to unravel indications of academic misconduct
This interpretation only works if the document had regular saving points (i.e., auto-save was active) while it was written; otherwise, copying the text into a fresh .docx file removes this metadata, making the analysis meaningless.

- Key metadata: Total number of words, words per revision, last modified by, and created by.
- Words per Revision: The average number of words introduced into the document per revision.
- Visual Analysis: A detailed, interactive visualization of the document's metadata. Each row corresponds to the entire document, and hovering over a colored block reveals the associated text passage.
A row changes colors as soon as text came in at a different edit
Each color represents a different point in time, at which words came into the document
A row should always have more than one color.
A human-written text usually has a significant amount of revisions, so you should also always see regular ‘sparkles’ within each row.
If a line with a single color is longer than one row, this line is very likely copied into the documet and NOT written by a human on their keyboard.
