Plagiarism Detection Application with Modified Enhanced Confix Stripping - Levenshtein Distance Algorithm Analysis

This research is made to continue the research on Implementation of Levensthein Distance Algorithm on Plagiarism Detection. In that research, it is found that the application can calculate the percentage of plagiarism against 2 documents, and it is suggested for further research to include the stemming algorithm to increase the percentage of plagiarism. This study uses the stemming algorithm of Modified Enhanced Confix Stripping (MECS) to prove the suggestion written in previous research. The study was conducted by comparing plagiarism percentage, system usage, running time, and complexity of Levensthein and MECS - Levensthein algorithm. The result of this research is the use of MECS algorithm can reduce running time by 7s, but the percentage decreased by 0,8% and system usage increased by 11,72%.
