The invention relates to an academic paper information detection method based on free internet information. The academic paper information detection method based on the free internet information comprises the following steps that whether network linking is normal or not is detected, if the network linking is normal, a paper to be detected is acquired and saved, and if the network linking is abnormal, network linking is conducted; a baidu interface is called, the paper is searched on a network in sentences, whether the paper is copied or not is judged according to a threshold value, if the paper is copied, a copying source and original text sentences are recorded, and if the paper is not copied, a google interface is called, the paper is searched on the network in sentences; whether the paper is copied or not is judged according to the threshold value, if the paper is copied, a copying source and original text sentences are recorded, and if the paper is not copied, a single paper inspection and confiscation report is generated and output according to a detection result; detection of a plurality of papers is finished and an inspection and confiscation summary sheet is generated and output. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of being simple in algorithm, low in cost, capable of being independent of a detection platform, free of building a huge paper data base, and capable of ensuring that the papers can be detected through a single machine and capable of being detected in batch.
