How Your Plagiarism Scan Works
From upload to report in three simple steps. No technical knowledge required — just upload your document and we handle the rest.
1. Upload Your Document
Go to the order page, upload your file (PDF, DOCX, TXT and more), select your scan type, and complete the secure checkout. The whole process takes under two minutes.
2. Scan Runs Automatically
PlagAware splits your text into individual sentences and paragraphs, then compares every segment against 70+ billion sources including websites, journals, and academic databases — all in the background.
3. Receive Your PDF Report
Within 15 minutes, your detailed PDF report arrives by email. Every suspicious passage is color-coded and linked directly to the matching source. You can also review results interactively in your personal dashboard.
What the Plagiarism Scan Detects
Our scan goes far beyond simple copy-paste detection. It identifies multiple forms of academic dishonesty that could cost you your degree.
Direct Copy-Paste
Word-for-word text copied from any online or academic source without a citation. Even a single copied sentence can be flagged by university detection software during submission.
Paraphrasing Without Citation
Rewording someone else's ideas without crediting the original author is still plagiarism. Semantic analysis in our scan identifies paraphrases that simple keyword matching would miss entirely.
Self-Plagiarism
Reusing sections of your own previous papers without acknowledging the original work is considered self-plagiarism in most academic institutions and can lead to serious consequences.
Translated Plagiarism
Taking content from a foreign language source and translating it into English without attribution. This increasingly common practice is detected through cross-language analysis in the scan database.
Mosaic Plagiarism
Mixing phrases from multiple sources without citation — also called patch writing. Our scan cross-references the entire document simultaneously, so fragments from dozens of different sources are all identified.
Incorrect Citations
Content that is cited but where the quotation marks are missing around directly copied text may still constitute plagiarism. The scan flags high-similarity passages so you can verify correct citation formatting.
Understanding Your Plagiarism Scan Report
Once the scan is complete, you receive a professionally formatted PDF report that shows exactly which passages were flagged and where they came from. There is no guesswork — every finding is transparent.
In addition to the PDF, you can explore results interactively in your personal dashboard. Dismiss false positives with a click, review each source match individually, and export a clean version for your records.
- Red highlight = high-similarity match with a source

- Direct clickable links to every matching source

Plagiarism Scan — Frequently Asked Questions
During a plagiarism scan, your document is split into sentences and paragraphs. Each segment is compared against over 70 billion online and academic sources using PlagAware's detection engine. Matches are highlighted in your report and linked directly to the original source. You receive the completed report by email within 15 minutes.
Most plagiarism scans are completed within 15 minutes. In rare cases involving very long documents or high server load, it may take up to 24 hours. You will receive the report by email as soon as it is ready. There is no need to keep the browser open.
We accept PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, and ODT files. The document must contain machine-readable text — scanned images (picture PDFs) or handwritten documents cannot be processed. If your PDF is image-based, convert it to a text-based format first using OCR software.
The percentage shows how much of your text matched external sources. A percentage of 0–10% is generally considered acceptable in most academic contexts, though every institution sets its own threshold. Not all matches represent actual plagiarism — properly quoted and cited text may still appear highlighted, which is expected and acceptable. Always review each flagged passage individually.
Yes. Your document is processed securely and never added to any publicly searchable database. It is not shared with universities or third parties. All servers operate in Germany under strict EU GDPR data protection regulations. Your work remains completely private.
