Why EVIDENCE exists
Research integrity is not a score. It is a shared institutional practice.
Universities need more than a similarity percentage. They need a way to guide students, support supervisors, protect authors, publish clear policies and understand integrity trends across institutions.
EVIDENCE gives WACREN a regional platform where checks, recommendations, resources, training and insights work together, without exposing the technical engine as the main brand.
Shared institutional services
A strategic ecosystem for research integrity, not a simple anti-plagiarism interface.
EVIDENCE gives WACREN and member institutions a complete governance, knowledge, training and analysis platform under one trusted regional brand.
Platform model
Three layers built for regional scale.
The platform combines operational checks, institutional knowledge and regional intelligence so each stakeholder can act from the same trusted environment.
Publish policies, recommendations, resources and training paths aligned with WACREN guidance.
Monitor indicators by institution and country while preserving tenant isolation and privacy.
Detection workflow
From submission to an auditable institutional decision.

Report anatomy
A report designed for judgement, not automatic punishment.
Each report combines a global score, source-level evidence, highlighted passages, applied filters, AI advisory signals, recommendations and a clear disclaimer.
