1. Introduction

Academic integrity is the foundation of a thriving and hopeful learning environment. Without it, learning will be near impossible.

In creating the plagiarism checker, we set out to make an easy-to-use and very accurate tool to help students track their work. So in what follows, we would like to share with you just how our plagiarism checker can be of benefit to you.

2. Benefits of the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker

Understanding and learning from mistakes It is also an effective and simple way for students to understand and correct their own mistakes. Many students may have trouble understanding the concept of plagiarism and citation done in the academic world. With this program, students can visually see what text was copied and easily determine what should be cited. This will help students understand the concept of plagiarism and the importance of citing the work of others. Additionally, this program is able to serve as a deterrent to students who may consider plagiarizing. A teacher can make use of the plagiarism report to ensure that the student’s submitted work is indeed their own. If the report shows a high percentage of copied text, the student can be instructed to modify the work and resubmit it for a grade. This way, the student’s mistake can be addressed and corrected without consequences.

Simple and efficient The Scribbr plagiarism checker is very simple to use. The most appealing aspect is the efficiency. After a document has been checked, the system generates a report on the content. This report highlights any copied text and provides the sources. In addition to highlighting any copied text, the report indicates the percentage of copied and original text. With the features of this program, it is evident that it is able to satisfy those seeking originality in their own text, students, and faculty.

Confidence in the originality of a text This is the first and most important value when using the Scribbr plagiarism checker. There is never a concern with the originality of any text. This system easily, and in a matter of seconds, determines whether something written is original or copied from another source. If it is copied, this program will indeed find it and the necessary steps can be taken to change the document and make it original.

3. How to Use the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker

3.1 Uploading the Document The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker only requires an active internet connection. The document to be checked should be uploaded from a computer or mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones. The software is able to analyze many different file formats, including .doc, .docx, .pdf, .odt, .txt, and .rtf. However, the actual size of the document is limited to 2,000 words (this is approximately 10 pages). In the rare case that the Word Count in Microsoft Word: Doc is not accessible to you (due to the file format or because you do not have Microsoft Word), you can check a small region of text by pasting it into the provided text window. This is also useful for checking online sources. Finally, the amount of words that was checked minus those from referenced material, i.e., that counted in the final content from the References section of the document, represents the amount of words checked towards the 2,000-word limit.

There are basically three main steps that you must follow in using the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker, which include uploading the document, after which the software analyses it to detect any overlap with existing internet sources, after which the report is ready for your perusal. Now let’s discuss the three steps in detail:

4. Understanding the Plagiarism Report

The real substance behind this report is the use of the ‘Similarity index’. This is a simple percentage that indicates how much of the given text can be found elsewhere. This may be hard to find, but is the most effective way of tracking down and understanding an act of plagiarism. The percentage of unoriginal content is fundamental evidence for any kind of violation. Using this, it is also possible to click on an area of highlighted text and the source from which this text has been taken will be displayed. This again is further evidence, but also very useful information for making any necessary changes to the work.

Finally, understanding the plagiarism results is the most important part of this report. At a glance, the color of components is significant. Text that has been found somewhere else on the internet is highlighted in a clear red, making it easy to spot. In most cases, a color code is simply used to determine whether text is original or not; a green color is the simple method of indicating this. The differing shades of yellow are not too clear, but generally indicate that the writing is a potential mix of original and copied text to some extent. This is where the simplicity of Scribbr’s plagiarism report can be deceptive. Color coding is easy to understand, but it does not provide specific details of an infringement.

Upon submitting your document, it will provide you with a result of your originality of your work. The report is broken down into three parts, the first and second will be the most significant parts of evidence. The lowest part shows a listing of possible sources of unoriginal content; this is not recorded in a clear, understandable manner.

5. Conclusion

The free availability of online content has led to a shift in how students cite their sources. Traditional citation methods have become too error-prone for use alongside modern information sources. This makes it easy to accidentally misplace a citation or forget to add it at all. By checking the credibility of sources and using WriteCheck to compare the citations to the source in question, you can ensure that your paper has properly acknowledged all sources of information. With the increased use of paraphrasing to gather information, it is much easier to accidentally leave out a citation and claim the information as your own. Even when you can be certain that you have not intentionally plagiarized, paraphrased content can still be difficult to identify and contains a risk of unoriginal referencing. WriteCheck helps to resolve this issue by identifying similar text and giving paraphrasing suggestions to improve referencing.

Using Turnitin feedback studio compares your text against 14 billion web pages, 150 million academic journal articles, and 10 million other student papers. This is an invaluable resource as it will easily locate any potential sources of unoriginal content. The feedback studio shows you the percentage of your text that is unoriginal and produces a colour coded report. This highlights the unoriginal content and uses different colours to represent the amount of common content found between sources. Unfortunately, Turnitin is a system limited for use by students and only applies to certain types of assignments and file formats.

You should now be starting to recognize the importance of using a plagiarism checker. Only with an accurate score can you hope to improve it. It offers peace and responsibility. Above all, it gives you all the information you need to improve and succeed.
