Compare detected matches with the original portion of the document.

Source-level evidence

Review where similar wording was found and examine each source separately.

Similarity Automatic plagiarism

A Similarity Score Needs Context

Matching text does not always mean plagiarism. Quotations, citations, references, common phrases, templates, and previously published material may all contribute to a similarity score.

Review the source, compare the surrounding context, and decide whether a passage needs quotation marks, attribution, rewriting, or further examination.

The score identifies material to review. The matching passages and their sources provide the context behind it.

01
Review the source context

Compare the matched passage with the surrounding source material instead of relying only on the percentage.

02
Check quotations

Confirm that directly copied wording is clearly marked as a quotation where required.

03
Confirm citations

Make sure referenced ideas and wording follow the required attribution or citation format.

04
Review close wording

Rewrite passages that follow the sentence structure or wording of the original source too closely.

Your Content Should Stay Under Your Control

Plagiachecker is designed to keep account activity and scan reports within the user workspace. Information about storage, retention, and third-party processing should always be reviewed through the current Privacy Policy.

Clear Controls Around Reports and Account Activity

Review scan history, return to completed reports, and manage your work through an account-protected application workspace.
