Request a plagiarism review

What a plagiarism review can tell you

A similarity report helps you locate wording that may overlap with other sources. The useful part is the context: which passages match, whether a quotation is marked correctly, and whether the source is acknowledged. A percentage on its own does not decide whether a piece of writing is plagiarism.

Students may request a review for an essay, report, presentation or dissertation draft. Upload the version you want reviewed and include any instructions from your university. Our team will discuss the appropriate review, its price and the expected return time before work begins.

How to prepare your document

Include the reference list and preserve quotation marks so the reviewer can distinguish your discussion from cited material. Remove student identification numbers and unrelated personal information. If your document is larger than the upload limit, contact the team through the request conversation to arrange the next step.

Use the report to improve your own work

Read each highlighted passage alongside the original source. A properly quoted definition, a standard technical phrase and an uncited copied paragraph need different responses. Correct missing attribution, distinguish direct quotations from paraphrases, and check that every in-text citation has a corresponding reference.

A low similarity score does not prove that all ideas are attributed, just as a higher score is not automatically evidence of misconduct. Your institution sets the relevant rules. Our team can help explain a report, but cannot guarantee a particular score or an institutional decision.

Keep the review with the right request

Your uploaded file, questions and returned report stay in the conversation for this requirement. If you are already discussing the document with our team, use that existing chat to avoid creating a duplicate order. Check the filename and version date when you send a revised draft.
