Anti-Plagiarism Check Before Submission
Check your paper against public sources (about 70 billion texts, per PlagAware) before your examiner does. Powered by PlagAware.
The draft discusses the relationship between evidence and interpretation. It then considers how research questions shape an argument.
Illustrative example, not an actual report or vendor interface. Highlights distinguish source excerpts, not severity. Similarity is not a plagiarism verdict.
Why Protection Is Essential
Academic institutions classify plagiarism as academic misconduct. An anti-plagiarism check before submission helps you review source matches and correct missing citations. It does not guarantee an academic outcome.
Accidental Plagiarism Is Real
Missing citations, overly close paraphrases, or undisclosed reuse of earlier work can raise academic integrity concerns. Our scan searches public sources, not a private database of earlier assignments.
Universities Run Their Own Checks
Many universities run submitted papers through plagiarism detection software. Their tool may search other sources than ours, so treat our report as a pre-check, not a guarantee.
AI Analysis Has Limits
Our combo check includes source matching and AI-typicality analysis. Neither result alone establishes misconduct or proves who wrote a passage.
A Proactive Approach to Academic Integrity
The most effective anti-plagiarism approach isn't reactive. It's proactive. Rather than hoping your paper passes the institutional check, you run your own check first and address any issues on your terms.
Here's how that looks in practice:
- Draft stage: Run a partial check on sections you're unsure about. Identify problem areas early.
- Pre-submission stage: Run a full document check once your paper is complete. Review the similarity report, add missing citations, and rephrase flagged passages.
- Final submission: Review source attribution and follow your institution's submission rules.
This three-stage process is especially important for longer academic works like theses and dissertations, where the volume of content makes accidental matches more likely.

Three simple steps. No account needed. A PDF report in about 15 minutes.
Upload Your Document
Submit your paper as PDF, DOCX, DOC, or TXT. Matches are found when the public source is in the same language as your paper.
PlagAware Scans Public Sources
PlagAware compares your document with publicly available sources, such as web pages and open-access publications (about 70 billion texts, per PlagAware). Paywalled and subscription journals aren't included.
Receive Your Report by Email
In about 15 minutes you receive a detailed PDF report. It shows your overall similarity score, the highlighted passages, and links back to the matching sources.
What Your Report Shows
A report you can use to improve your paper, not just a pass/fail number.
Overall Similarity Score
The percentage of your text that matches existing sources. Shown prominently at the top of the report so you can compare it against your institution's threshold.
Highlighted Matches
Matching passages are highlighted directly in the body of your document. Each color is tied to one source. The colors don't rate how serious a match is.
Source Links
Each match is linked to its original source. You can click through, verify whether it's a legitimate citation or an oversight, and decide how to act.
Source Overview
A list of the matching sources with links, so you can see at a glance where your matches come from and check each one yourself.
AI Detection Score (Combo)
With the combo check, your report also includes an AI-typicality score and highlights AI-typical wording. This is not an authorship probability or proof of AI use.
Upload and Scan Privacy
Your document is used only to run the scan. It isn't added to a plagiarism pool and PlagAware deletes its scan text after report creation. Our upload download tokens expire after 48 hours; this is not a maximum physical file-retention deadline. See our privacy policy.
Review Similarity in Context
A similarity score is not a pass/fail result. Review the matches and follow your institution's policy.
Turnitin explains that quoted and referenced text can still match. A low score does not rule out plagiarism, and a high score does not establish it. Read Turnitin's explanation.
