You would never copy-and-paste someone else’s work, you’re great at paraphrasing, and you always keep a tidy list of your sources handy.
But what about accidental plagiarism? It’s more common than you think! Maybe you paraphrased a little too closely, or forgot that last citation or set of quotation marks.
Even if you did it by accident, plagiarism is still a serious offense. You may fail your course, or be placed on academic probation. The risks just aren’t worth it.
Scribbr is committed to protecting academic integrity. Our plagiarism checker software, Citation Generator, proofreading services, and free Knowledge Base content are designed to help educate and guide students in avoiding unintentional plagiarism.
We make every effort to prevent our software from being used for fraudulent or manipulative purposes.
The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker is powered by elements of Turnitin’s Similarity Checker, namely the plagiarism detection software and the Internet Archive and Premium Scholarly Publications content databases.
Extensive testing proves that Scribbr’s plagiarism checker is one of the most accurate plagiarism checkers on the market in 2022.
The software detects everything from exact word matches to synonym swapping. It also has access to a full range of source types, including open- and restricted-access journal articles, theses and dissertations, websites, PDFs, and news articles.
Your document will be compared to the world’s largest and fastest-growing content database, containing over:
Note: Scribbr does not have access to Turnitin’s global database with student papers. Only your university can add and compare submissions to this database.
If your university uses Turnitin, the result will be very similar to what you see at Scribbr.
The only possible difference is that your university may compare your submission to a private database containing previously submitted student papers. Scribbr does not have access to these private databases (and neither do other plagiarism checkers).
Luckily, many papers, theses, and dissertations are also published in public databases that Scribbr does have access to.
Your writing stays private. Your submissions to Scribbr are not published in any public database, so no other plagiarism checker (including those used by universities) will see them.
