Cheating 101: Internet Paper Mills
This list of active Internet term paper and essay sites was compiled as part of a
Teaching Effectiveness Seminar on cheating, plagiarism and Internet
paper mills. The list is provided as a convenience for faculty, in order for them to be aware of
the vast variety of resources out on the Internet that are tempting their students.
When this list started in March 1999, it had 35 sites on it. Currently, November 2006, there are
over 250 general sites listed below. Subject specific sites are listed at
Internet Subject Specific Paper Mills.
Students: read the warnings at these sites. If you turn in one of these papers as your own
work, you are plagiarizing. If you need help with research, ask the experts at Coastal Carolina
University (professors, librarians, Writing Center personnel, etc.). You are capable of producing
work that is much better than what is offered at these sites.
These are business sites, they exist for one purpose, to make money off you. They don't care about
your grades, your integrity, or your problems, despite their assurances to the contrary. They want
your cash or credit cards. Caveat Emptor (Let the Buyer Beware).
Disclaimer: This list is updated every six months. We are not responsible for any changes to
content or purpose that these sites might make between updates.
