Plagiarism check

What it is

A plagiarism check is a comparative analysis of your text against academic databases, publications, and digital sources, carried out with a specialised tool. The output is a report showing the overall similarity percentage and pinpointing exactly which passages have potential overlaps.

A similarity score does not automatically mean plagiarism. Standard formulas, correctly cited definitions, and recurring technical expressions appear frequently in reports without representing a genuine problem. The value of this service lies precisely in interpretation: we read the report alongside you and distinguish harmless overlaps from passages that genuinely need attention.

Where the percentage exceeds the threshold accepted by your university or publication, we provide concrete rephrasing guidance — not a rewrite of your text, but specific direction on how to express the same idea in your own words while citing the source correctly.

How it works

1. You send the document. Upload your paper in Word or PDF format. If there are sections you want excluded from the analysis (appendices, questionnaires, deliberately quoted content), flag them.

2. We run the analysis. We process the document through the similarity-detection system and generate the detailed report with all identified sources and similarity percentages per chapter and per passage.

3. We interpret the report. We go through the results and distinguish passages that represent a genuine issue from neutral overlaps (definitions, technical terminology, standard formulas).

4. We provide rephrasing suggestions. For each problematic passage, we add a note in the document with clear guidance — what needs to be paraphrased, where a direct quotation with citation marks would be more appropriate, how to restructure the sentence.

5. 15-minute consultation. We arrange a short session (video call or phone) where you can ask questions about the report, how to interpret a particular percentage, or what a flagged source means in context.

Frequently asked questions

What similarity percentage is acceptable?

Thresholds vary by institution — typically between 15% and 25% for undergraduate and master’s theses, lower for doctoral work and publications. Before the analysis, check your faculty’s threshold and share it with us so we can evaluate the report against that specific standard.

Is the report you generate the same as what the committee will see?

Plagiarism detection systems used by universities differ (iThenticate, Turnitin, national systems). Our report gives a representative picture of the similarity level, but it cannot replicate exactly what your institution’s system will show. The purpose of our check is to help you prepare the document before the official submission.

Do you work with papers in English or other languages?

Yes. The analysis works for texts in Romanian and English. For other languages, contact us before sending the document.

If I rephrase the flagged passages, can you re-check the paper?

A second check after rephrasing is available at a reduced rate. Mention at the time of ordering that you want to include a re-check round.
