Avoiding accidental plagiarism

You don't need a plagiarism checker, right?

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.

Will Scribbr give the same result as my university’s plagiarism checker?

Scribbr uses similar plagiarism software to most universities, providing the same or very similar results.

However, universities may check your work against private student paper databases, which Scribbr can’t access, possibly leading to small differences.

To help, Scribbr offers a free Self-Plagiarism Checker add-on, allowing you to manually upload your source documents to ensure you haven’t accidentally plagiarized.

Can other plagiarism checkers see my submissions to Scribbr?

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.
