paper mills
Where newsprint originates
Paper mills are operations that produce academic essays, research papers, and other written work for students to submit as their own.
The term borrows from industrial paper manufacturing to describe assembly-line production of fraudulent schoolwork.
A student might buy a term paper from a paper mill rather than write it themselves.
The older sense—an actual factory that manufactures paper from wood pulp or recycled materials—remains in use but appears less frequently in contemporary discussion.
