What plagiarism detection software is available in the UK? How can I check for plagiarism in a research paper?

 

Plagiarism in research papers has serious consequences in the UK, such as being unable to graduate, expulsion from the institution, and in severe cases, potential deportation. For specific information, please refer to the previous article on how to write references in a UK research paper, which provides detailed explanations on what constitutes plagiarism, how to avoid it in your paper, and what to do if your school detects plagiarism.

 

Now, what is plagiarism detection software?

Plagiarism detection software examines the similarity between the content of your paper and other papers, calculating the percentage of similarity. If the similarity is significantly high, it raises suspicions of plagiarism. For example, some UK universities require a similarity score of no more than 20%, while others may set the limit at 30%. The exact requirements depend on your school or instructor, as each institution and faculty member may have different guidelines.

 

What are some plagiarism detection software options for research papers?

Turnitin

This is the most commonly used plagiarism detection software in UK universities. Basically, almost all UK universities use it. Usually, students are provided with a certain number of free plagiarism checks. Please inquire with your school for specific details. At Coventry University, for example, it appears below the system for submitting paper assignments. Before formally submitting the paper, there is one free trial plagiarism check opportunity.

There is a paid app available for 30 RMB that can be used to check grammar, spelling, provide synonyms, translations, sentence rephrasing, and even read the content aloud. However, it does not offer plagiarism detection. This can be considered as a software that helps you revise your research paper.
