Plagiarism Finder | Frequently Asked Questions
The finder compares your document with public sources. According to PlagAware, that's about 70 billion texts. When a passage matches a source, it's highlighted in your report and linked to the original source URL. It has no access to paywalled or subscription journals or to non-public databases.
Yes. Every highlighted passage in the report is linked to the source where the matching content was found. You can click through to the source to verify the match and assess whether it's a genuine problem.
The finder is built to find text that matches a public source. Heavily reworded passages or translated text may not be found, so read your paper critically as well and treat the report as a pre-check.
The colors only identify the source. Each color is tied to one source, so passages from the same source share a color. The colors don't rate how serious a match is. Use the source link to judge each match yourself.
Review each highlighted passage using the source link. If the content is correctly cited, check that quotation marks are present for direct quotes. If a citation is missing, add one. If the passage is paraphrased too closely, rewrite it in your own words and add a citation.
