Plagiarism
Checker
02
These days, all documents submitted to a university or journal
are automatically checked for plagiarism using software
like Turnitin. Turnitin is the leading company in
plagiarism detection software.
Institutions make use of plagiarism checkers, and
you can too!

How do plagiarism checkers work?
Plagiarism checkers compare your document to a
database of existing texts. The plagiarism software searches
for similarities and highlights passages that contain
potential plagiarism.
Not all plagiarism checkers are reliable. Where one
plagiarism checker detects 2% plagiarism, another might
detect 45% plagiarism.
Back Next
The accuracy of plagiarism checkers
depends on two things:
Database Size
Plagiarism
ALgorithm
Back Next
Most plagiarism checkers
are only capable of detecting
exact similarities. However,
if the sentence
structure is changed, if
synonyms are used or if two
sources are combined, most
plagiarism checkers
won’t detect the
plagiarism.
Some plagiarism
checkers only compare
the uploaded document
with web pages, while
others also check
books, publications and
papers from other
students.
