Checking Your Own Work for Originality: What Plagiarism Checkers Do and Do Not Do

Plagiarism checkers can help you spot problems in your own writing. They are not a verdict on your work.

Published by ALFIRST CO.

What they do

Compare your text with other sources and report where it matches.

They cannot tell whether the ideas are yours, and a score is not a verdict. Properly quoted text can also be flagged.

Use a report to find places where you need to cite a source or put an idea in your own words.

We support your own original work. We do not help hide copied material.

We help you improve work you have written yourself: clearer language, correct formatting and a better final document.

These three words are often mixed up.

Tell us what you are working on. A short WhatsApp message is all it takes to begin.

What happens next: we read your message, ask a few questions and suggest the right support. Nothing is decided until you are ready.
