Government spending and budgets have diminished in the past decade, putting increased pressure on researchers to get funding for their research. As the number of plagiarism and other misconduct cases rises each year, government organizations are becoming more aware of the need to implement new processes to verify: grant proposals; national citation; national or regional indexes; legal documents; legislative; financial reports; annual reports; reviews; inquiries; collaborative projects with multiple researchers or government agencies; task forces.
