Did You Know?
What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. It can include copying text verbatim, paraphrasing without attribution, or using someone's ideas without giving credit.
Common Types of Plagiarism
Direct plagiarism (copying word-for-word), self-plagiarism (reusing your own work), mosaic plagiarism (patching together different sources), and accidental plagiarism (forgetting to cite sources) are all forms of academic dishonesty.
Consequences of Plagiarism
Plagiarism can result in failing grades, academic probation, or even expulsion from educational institutions. In professional settings, it can damage reputations, lead to legal issues, and result in job loss.
How Plagiarism Checkers Work
Plagiarism checkers use algorithms to compare your text against databases of published content. They identify matching phrases, sentences, or paragraphs and calculate a similarity percentage. Advanced checkers can also detect paraphrased content and cross-reference multiple sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a simulated plagiarism checker for demonstration purposes. For actual plagiarism detection, we recommend using professional plagiarism checking services that have access to extensive databases of academic papers, books, and web content. Professional services typically offer more accurate results and detailed reports.
Generally, a plagiarism percentage below 15% is considered acceptable in most academic and professional contexts, but this varies by institution and field. Some common elements like quotes, references, and standard phrases may be flagged as matches but are not considered plagiarism when properly cited. Always check with your specific institution or publication for their guidelines on acceptable plagiarism percentages.
In this simulated version, you can select different categories of sources to check against (web content, academic sources, your own content). For more advanced features like checking against specific documents or websites, you would need to use a professional plagiarism checking service that offers those capabilities.
The plagiarism report shows the overall similarity percentage and highlights specific sections that match other sources. Each match is color-coded and linked to its source. You can click on the highlighted text to see the original source. The report also provides a list of all sources with links to view the original content. Use this information to revise your text and properly cite any sources you've referenced.
In this simulated version, all processing happens in your browser and your text is not sent to any servers. For actual plagiarism checking services, most reputable providers have privacy policies that protect your content. However, it's always good practice to review the privacy policy of any service you use to ensure your content remains confidential.
