Abstract
When a digital item is submitted for publication, an automated system may determine whether the digital item includes content from other digital items. In some implementations, when the digital item is an electronic book (eBook), the automated system may select sets of words from the eBook and compute hash codes, such that each hash code corresponds to a set of words. The automated system may compare the computed hash codes with retained hash codes associated with other electronic books to determine whether the digital item includes duplicate content.
