Summary of changes ( here )

Previous Service Terms ( here ).

Bartleby Student Brands and affiliated sites that link to and reference these service-specific terms (together the “Services”) are operated by Learneo and/or its subsidiaries (“We” or “Us”).

These service-specific terms (the “Service Terms”) and the Learneo Terms of Services (together the “Terms”) apply to your use and access to Services. Please read the Terms carefully. By agreeing to the Terms you expressly acknowledge that you understand the Terms and accept them all. The Terms govern any User regardless of whether you are a registered user or a guest. If you do not agree to all the Terms you may not use or access the Services in any manner.

In addition, by using or accessing the Services you also acknowledge that you have read and understand the data practices described in our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”).

IF YOU BECOME A PAID SUBSCRIBER AND PAY BY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD (OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH AN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION) YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME IF YOU DO NOT TAKE CERTAIN STEPS. SEE SECTION “AUTOMATIC RENEWALS” FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: THE TERMS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND US HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER CAN BE BROUGHT.

For the purposes of these Service Terms:

“User” means anyone who accesses, interacts with, uses, and/or registers for our Services including without limitation visitors, customers, students, other users and where applicable tutors/experts and/or educators. “User” shall include any free user, paid user and trial user.

"Tutor" or “Expert” means experts in a subject area and anyone who provides answers, online courses, instruction, tutoring, or other learning services through our Services.

“User Content” means the materials displayed, performed or available on or through the Services, including but not limited to text, audio, videos, graphics, data, articles, photos, images, illustrations, course materials, class notes, flash cards, questions, messages, comments, Tutor Answers or Expert Q&A (defined below) and other material and so forth that have been submitted, uploaded or posted by other Users.

“Our Content” means any material including text, images, videos, software, designs, documents and other media that is created or produced, owned and controlled by Us that We hold exclusive intellectual property and usage rights to. This may include but is not limited to literature guides, writing guides, concept explainers or textbook question explanations.

“Expert Answers” means, for the Services where offered and available, the explanations provided by a Tutor or Expert in response to a User’s submitted question.

a. Changes to the Terms.

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so the Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if We make any material changes, We will place a notice on the website where the applicable Services are provided, send you an email, and/or notify you by some other means. If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you continue to use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to and accept all the changes.

b. Changes to the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, We may in our sole discretion change, modify, suspend, make improvements to, or discontinue any aspect of the Services temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you, and We will not be liable for doing so.

i. Submitting User Content.

We may now or in the future offer Users the opportunity to create, build, post, upload, display, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, or otherwise make available on or submit through the Services, or on or in response to our pages or posts on any third-party platforms, or in connection with any of our promotions, by any media or manner, or otherwise submit to Us (e.g. on our Facebook or other social media pages, in response to our tweets, through a sweepstakes or contest, or by otherwise sending it to us) your User Content through your profile, forums, blogs, message boards, social networking environments, content creation and posting tools, subscription services, gameplay social communities, contact us tools, email, and other communications functionality.

If the system does not detect any obvious signs of a violation, the respective User Content will be available online.

iv. Content Recommendations.

To the extent that our Services provide any recommendations of content, including User Content or Learneo Content, our Services use machine learning algorithms to recommend the content to Users to help them study better. These recommendations are based on data about the content, e.g. the content’s engagement data (based on e.g. user traffic), relatedness of content (e.g. based on a User’s search terms), etc. Our Services may change how they recommend any content to Users. See section titled “ Changes to the Terms or Services ” for more information.

a. Expert Q&A Services.

We may facilitate, at our discretion, as part of our Services, access to Experts who teach online courses or provide instructional materials and/or tutoring (“Expert Q&A Services”). When applying, Experts go through a tutor screening process by Us as detailed ( here ) but are not employees or agents of Us and their performance is not guaranteed by Us. We solely facilitate the transaction between you and the Expert. We are not involved in the conversation between you and Expert and We do not refer you to, endorse, or recommend any particular Expert.

a. Artificial Intelligence Features on the Services.

We may use artificial intelligence (“AI”) services to provide some of the AI features as part of the Services. AI-generated output that appears in the Services is not created or reviewed by humans and may be provided via third-party services. Such output may be inaccurate or offensive and does not represent our view. In accordance with the Warranty Disclaimer section of the Learneo Terms of Service, We are not responsible for any AI-generated content that is inaccurate, false, or inappropriate. If you would like to flag inaccurate or offensive AI-generated content, you may do so directly through the relevant Service or by contacting Us. To report potentially infringing content, refer to the Section titled: “ Notice and Take Down Procedure for Claims of Infringement ”.

b. Category of Users: Free Users, Paid Users, and Trial Users.

We may offer access to our Services as a free user, a paid user, and in some limited cases, as a trial user.

i. Free User.

A free user is a User that uses or accesses the Services but has not purchased a subscription package or, if applicable and offered, other Service offerings made available by us. Free users will have limited and restricted access to the Services unless they purchase a subscription package or other Service Offering or, if offered as part of our Services, upload User Content for access limited to and in accordance with the level of access described at the point of upload.

ii. Paid User.

A paid user is a User that creates an account and purchases a subscription package or, if applicable and offered, other Service offering. The levels, benefits, and pricing of each offering or level of subscription may vary and are subject to change at any time, so please read the terms of any specific level of subscription or offering before accepting the terms and making the purchase.

iii. Trial User.

If offered as part of the Services, a trial user is a User that agrees to participate in a limited trial offer such as, but not limited to, a time-limited trial subscription period that grants the trial user temporary access to certain features of the Services, limited to and in accordance with the level of access described in the trial terms presented to the User when accepting the trial offer and starting the trial. At the end of the trial period, the trial user will either revert to free user status or become a paid user if they purchased a subscription package in accordance with the trial terms for each specific trial offered, so please carefully read the additional terms of any trial before accepting.

c. Subscriptions; Purchases; Refunds; and Taxes.

In order to access certain features of the Services, you may be required to make a purchase or enter into a paid subscription.

i. Additional Terms Related to Any Transaction.

Any deal terms or trial offer terms presented to you at the time of subscription, purchase, trial offer, or other transaction you conduct on or initiate on the Services (“Transaction”) shall be considered Additional Terms.

ii. Paid Subscriptions or Other Purchases.

If you decide to purchase a subscription or make any other purchase on the Services, you will be required to make an upfront payment and will be immediately charged to the credit or debit card (or other payment method you select on the Services as your primary payment method) the amount based on the purchase you elect to make. We will charge you online for any purchases you make through the account you created to use the Services. If you purchase a subscription package, you will be charged the full subscription package fee immediately upfront based on the subscription package you elect, unless otherwise provided in additional terms presented at the time you purchase the subscription package and subsequent payments will be automatically taken from the same payment method. If applicable, if you purchase a subscription package as part of a trial offer, you will be charged for your subscription package upfront on the first day that the paid subscription term begins unless otherwise stated in the applicable trial terms. The length of the subscription and the frequency at which payment will be made will be selected by you when you subscribe to paid access or, if applicable, as part of your trial.

iii. Changes to Subscription Prices.

We may change the subscription price from time to time, such as, but not limited to, by offering discounts or coupons for promotional purposes, at our sole discretion, but will notify you by email or some other means in the event of a price increase before your subscription renews.

iv. Online Payments For Your Purchases.

You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card or payment issuer and We are not responsible if your card or payment issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. Please note that it is possible that your card or payment issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this. You agree to make payment using the payment method you selected and will only provide Us information about payment methods that you are authorized to use. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information that We have on file and you consent to Us updating such stored information from time to time based on information provided by you, your bank, or payment service processors.

v. Automatic Renewals.

If you pay for a subscription by credit or debit card (or other payment method you select as your primary payment method on the Services as involving an automatically renewing subscription) and you do not cancel your subscription before the subscription term end date, your subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected (for example, unless you cancel, a one-month subscription will automatically renew on a monthly basis). Unless otherwise indicated in any applicable additional terms, such as, but not limited to, any applicable trial terms or the communications We send to your registered email address, such renewal will be at the same subscription fee as when you first subscribed, plus any applicable taxes, unless We notify you before the end of your current term that the subscription fee will increase. You acknowledge and agree that your payment method will be automatically charged for such subscription fees plus any applicable taxes upon each such automatic renewal. You acknowledge that your subscription is subject to automatic renewals and you consent to and accept responsibility for all recurring charges to your credit or debit card (or other payment method as applicable) based on this automatic renewal feature without further authorization from you and without further notice except as required by law. You further acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may change if the applicable tax rates change or if you are notified that there will be an increase in the applicable subscription fees.

vi. Refunds.

All payments are final and no refunds will be issued except: (a) for those refunds issued under our Money Back Guarantee ; (b) as otherwise provided in the Terms; (c) as required by applicable law; or (d) as otherwise described by Us in additional terms when a User initially makes a purchase. Subject to the provisions herein, unused Tutor Questions, unused unlocks, and any other unused features or parts of the Services, including those that may be offered as part of a free trial or parts of the Services, if applicable, expire upon the expiration or cancellation of the applicable subscription package and cannot be redeemed for cash. For any billing related questions in regards to payment, please contact Customer Support Team.

vii. Taxes.

Some Transactions may be subject to taxes in certain jurisdictions. Depending on your location and the nature of the product or Services you receive from Us, this may be a sales tax and/or use tax. Tax rates are different based on jurisdiction. You are responsible for paying all such taxes.

For more details on pricing, payment, refunds, and what is included in the different levels of access, please see our Frequently Asked Questions.

d. Disputes and Chargebacks.

If you file a dispute or chargeback for a transaction made for our Services with your financial institution, We reserve the right to terminate the provision of the Services pending the resolution of the dispute or chargeback with the financial institution, and We will not be able to offer you a refund. If your account is terminated, you will be banned from subscribing again. If you have a concern about billing, you are encouraged to reach out to Us prior to filing a dispute or chargeback.

Certain Services provided by Learneo may offer text messaging programs. You may be given opportunities to subscribe to various text marketing or other text messaging programs and by doing so, you consent to receive ongoing text alerts (including by auto-dialers) from Us related to our various businesses and affiliates, which may include co-promotions with or about other parties, except that if the scope of your consent for a particular subscription is limited, that subscription will be so limited.

Standard carrier message and data rates may apply and carriers may deduct charges from pre-paid amounts or data allowances for which you are responsible. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Contact your carrier for details.

Alerts auto-renew unless otherwise specified when you consented. You understand that We will send mobile text messages using automated technology. If you subscribe to text messages, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older or have obtained parental consent. If we are charging a premium rate for text messages, that will be explained in the applicable subscription consent. Not all phones and/or carriers are supported.

We are the sponsor of our text messages and may be contacted regarding them at [email protected] .

We respect others’ intellectual property rights and We reserve the right to delete or disable access to content alleged to be infringing and to terminate accounts of repeat alleged infringers.

How Original is Your Text?

Our free online plagiarism checker compares your submitted text to over 10 billion documents on the Internet and in print. Because we do NOT check against previous submissions to Paper Rater, submitting your paper to our service will NOT cause it to get incorrectly flagged as plagiarized if your teacher checks it here later. For more information on our plagiarism detection process and how to interpret the originality score, click here .

What's Wrong with Plagiarizing?

Most of us feel that plagiarism is morally wrong and need no other deterrent than this. However, even for those who do not feel an ethical compulsion to avoid it, the consequences of plagiarism can be quite severe for those who take the risk. For students, getting caught may mean a failing grade, suspension, or even expulsion, and for professionals the stakes are even higher as one's reputation may not be so quickly mended.

Is This Really Free?

While other sites may charge to check plagiarism, it has always been part of our mission to offer services that are accessible to everyone, regardless of income. For users that demand greater speed and accuracy, we do offer a premium service that allows longer submissions as well. Nevertheless, 99.9% of our users are content with our free plagiarism test.

PLAGIARISM & AI DETECTION

How to use our plagiarism & ai checker.

Using the plagiarism and AI checker is easy. You paste your paper text or upload your writing and set the tool to check for plagiarism or AI produced text. Our AI already knows to eliminate commonly grouped together words or phrases to avoid highlighting these common terms as plagiarism. It then highlights material you submitted that is substantially similar to other writing found online. You can then compare what you have written with the original results. Is it a quotation that you neglected to properly site? Is it original writing that is uncomfortably close to source material? Is it accidental plagiarism? Whatever it is, once you are aware of the issue, you can fix it.

Fix Grammar Errors

You should be using a grammar checker before you turn in any academic writing. However, MS Word’s Editor and even basic word processing programs can miss some common errors. Give your paper a higher-level once-over by using our plagiarism checker.

Find Accidental Plagiarism

When we think of plagiarism, we think of someone intentionally using another’s work. Most plagiarism is accidental and the result of forgetting that you saw an idea, thought, or even a sentence in someone else’s work. Our plagiarism checker will let you know if your writing was properly cited, helping you avoid accidental academic dishonesty.

AI Text Detection

Our AI text detection tool harnesses advanced algorithms to accurately identify, analyze, and interpret textual data from various online sources. Ideal for improving your text, and making sure that all of your outside information is properly cited.

Become a Better Writer

Learning from all of your mistakes will help you become an improved writer, which will result in higher quality assignments. Great recommendations can make the difference between an "A" and an "F".

Introduction

One of the great things about the internet is that it puts thousands of resources about almost any topic at your fingertips. This greatly simplifies research, and searches that may have taken hours, days, or even weeks a few decades ago can now be accomplished in a matter of minutes. You can get access to quality academic writing about a variety of topics and use it as a resource in your own writing. This is great.

Well, except for when it is not. Having access to so many sources also makes it difficult to find sources that you professors have not encountered. Exposure to so many sources also makes it very difficult to write something that seems original. In fact, exposure to such a wide variety of sources makes it entirely possible that you will do all of your research and then sit down to write, accidentally incorporating someone else’s work as your own. The fact that your professors have the same access to the entire internet that you have means that plagiarism, whether accidental or intentional, is not going to be overlooked. Instead of getting back a decent grade for your hard work, you could be facing charges of academic dishonesty.

It does not have to be this way. Paperdue’s Plagiarism Checker allows you to upload your writing to check for plagiarism. Our algorithm looks for similarities between work you are submitting and other works that are available online. It will highlight the troubling section, so that you can paraphrase or appropriately quote material, depending on what is required. Even better, it does this without loading your writing into the existing plagiarism checker for your school.

Customizing your Plagiarism Checker Search

We think that the broader your plagiarism detector search, the more likely it is that you will check any instances of accidental plagiarism and keep yourself from being wrongly accused of academic dishonesty. What is accidental plagiarism? It is when you see someone else’s writing and inadvertently include that same writing, either exactly or very similarly, in your own writing, under the mistaken belief that it is your original material. While it is an impossible thing to defend, it is actually not uncommon, especially if your research has included a number of different resources. Broadly setting your search parameters allows you to detect instances of inadvertent plagiarism.

Plagiarism and AI Detection

If your social media looks like ours, you are getting tons of ads for AI essay-writing services. It can be tempting to use one of them, especially when you have an assignment due and a bad case of writer’s block. The problem is that schools know about AI, too. They are using AI detection tools to see if a person or a computer wrote your essay. Of course, these tools are imperfect. Sometimes, they detect AI, even when you wrote it all yourself. Use our AI detector to make sure that your essay is not going to trigger a false positive when you turn it in.  

Terms of Art and Common Phrases

One of the biggest problems with many plagiarism detectors is that they do not understand terms of art or other common phrases you are likely to find on a topic. For example, if you are writing a paper for law school it is going to feature legal terms that are sufficiently specific that they might require quotations in other contexts but are simply terms of art in the legal context. Likewise, if you are writing a paper about Romeo and Juliet, you are probably going to use the term “star-crossed lovers” somewhere in the paper. It is not original, but it is also not something that needs to be attributed to another writer.

Help from the Beginning

Some writers really struggle with how to turn great research into great writing. Assume that you have done the work and found several high-quality sources that can really contribute to your academic topic. How do you change that research into a great paper? How do you strike the balance between including enough research and writing your own original material for an academic paper? You can use our plagiarism checker to help you with the process. Instead of waiting until you have finished your entire paper to check your writing, write your first paragraph or two and then use the tool. It will help you determine whether or not you are including enough original content in your writing.

Help During the Writing Process

All writers struggle with balancing original content and properly cited resources. The struggle can even vary for writers from topic to topic. For many writers, the more familiar the topic, the easier it is to write original material. Conversely, if the topic is one with which a writer was unfamiliar before beginning the research project process, it can be difficult to incorporate the information you have learned into your paper in a fresh and original way.

We suggest using two of our tools together to help you master more original writing. Use the Plagiarism Checker to highlight areas of your paper that are too familiar to works already in existence. Then, use the paraphrasing tool to help you change the way the paper is written and make it more original.

Definition of Plagiarism

But before checking for plagiarism everyone should know, What Is Plagiarism?

“The act of pretension where you take one’s words and make them your own it can include ideas, thoughts, or any material that you can see/hear and make a copy of.”

If we talk in a legalistic manner then taking someone’s copyright and claiming it to be yours is unintentional plagiarism.

Self-Plagiarism

The concept of thinking that, self-plagiarism is only copying some other's paintings or borrowing someone else's unique idea. In my thoughts like "copying" and "borrowing" can cover the seriousness of the offense.

According to the Oxford Dictionary Plagiarism is:

“The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own”

In precise words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's artwork and lying approximately it in a while.

Personalized Writing Help When You Need it

Unintentional plagiarism, grammar mistakes, and uncited sources  can turn what you thought was a good paper into a poor one. When you’re writing a paper the last thing you want is for your message to get lost due to incorrect punctuation or confusing sentence structure. You know that the great ideas in your head would make for a standout paper, if only you could get them written clearly on the page. If this struggle sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Great ideas may be an essential part of high-quality writing, but they’re not the only component. Excellent papers and essays clearly express strong ideas with good grammar, proper punctuation, spot-on spelling, and thorough, careful citations. While this may sound like a lot, your teachers and professors are grading you on your skills as both a writer and a researcher, which means your assignments will require an ethical and attentive approach. Luckily, there is no shortage of available tools to help you along your way.

You could use a plagiarism checker free, though, these tools often lack grammatical support. Given the high stakes and rigorous requirements, the aid of a plagiarism checker without the needed support of a grammar checker could mean the difference between an “A” paper and a “C” or even “D” paper.

Thankfully, the EasyBib Plus plagiarism tool provides all-in-one support to cover all your bases. Our premium essay checker is convenient, easy to use, and includes access to a grammar and spell checker, plus a plagiarism checker. With a single scan, you’ll receive personalized feedback to help identify potentially missing citations and help improve your sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, and more.

Not sure if that noun is spelled correctly, or if the preposition at the end of your sentence is grammatically correct? The EasyBib Plus plagiarism tool is your one-stop shop to help check plagiarism, get grammatical suggestions, correct spelling and punctuation errors, and help create polished papers you can be proud to turn in. And, we haven’t told you the best part yet: you can try our tool free and scan your work for grammar suggestions right now!

A Grammar Check for Peace of Mind

You know that grammar plays a significant role in your assignments. Not only does it factor into your overall grade, but without clear and precise language, your ideas can lose their impact or might even be misunderstood entirely. Still, with so many different parts of speech and rules to learn and apply, it’s not uncommon to get them mixed up and find yourself questioning your knowledge now and again:

Can you use an adverb to modify a noun? (No. You need an adjective for that.)

Well, can you use it to modify a pronoun ? (Still no.)

What do they modify, then? (Almost everything else. Fun, right?)

Ugh. (That was an interjection .)

Does this have to be so difficult? (Nope!)

Scanning your paper with the EasyBib Plus writing tool delivers more than the basic punctuation and spell check functions that come standard in word processing programs. You’ll receive immediate, targeted feedback that can help improve the sentence structure and style of your writing. Not only can this help ensure that you don’t lose points off your grade for grammatical errors such as mismatched verb tense, but it can also help to clarify your meaning and strengthen your arguments by eliminating confusing punctuation and run-on sentences that confuse readers.

Reviewing your work to correct errors and refine the flow of your writing is a critical part of the revision process for novices and novelists alike. Even the most conscientious of wordsmiths might make mistakes, such as using a conjunctive adverb in place of a coordinating conjunction or pairing a plural determiner with an uncountable word. They likely appreciate a subscription-based or free grammar check as much as a beginning writer. That’s why the EasyBib Plus writing tool is designed for all writers, from students who are still learning the fundamentals to published professionals who get paid by the word.

The EasyBib Plus writing tool provides quick, targeted feedback that you can use to help improve your writing immediately. Also, our free resource library is available 24/7, just like the rest of our tools, to help you brush up on the areas that challenge you the most (Conjunctive what? Uncountable who?) That means you can continue to sharpen your skills and improve your writing over time, which will help make finishing your next project easier.

Ready to give your paper a boost? Sign up for EasyBib Plus or scan a paper right now for a free spell check—it’s easy!Just upload or copy and paste your paper to the online grammar check tool and, in a matter of seconds, you’ll be able to receive up to 5 feedback cards so you can begin polishing your draft.

Why is Grammar So Important, Anyway?

Why is grammar important? As long as others know what you mean, does it really matter if you use proper grammar? These are age-old questions, but the answers remain unchanged. Grammar is important for many reasons:

Communication:  Communication is about more than merely listening and talking. We communicate in myriad ways: with our voices, our mannerisms, our facial expressions, our actions, and frequently, our written words. Written communication is just as important as all the other ways we broadcast our thoughts and feelings. Unlike our other communication methods, though, written communication leaves a record. While most of us relax our style when talking to or texting friends, the fact remains that more formal venues require a more formal tone. Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation are a necessary element of professional and academic writing, so running your work through a spelling and grammar check before you submit it is an absolute must.

Clarity:  Expressing your thoughts, ideas, and opinions is an uphill battle when you communicate them with less-than-stellar punctuation, spelling, and grammar. A missing or misplaced comma, for example, can entirely change your meaning:

• Call me Ishmael = My name is Ishmael.
• Call me, Ishmael = I want Ishmael to call me.

Spelling errors can result in similarly muddled meaning:

• Her shoes perfectly complemented her dress. = Her shoes and dress go well together.
• Her shoes perfectly complimented her dress. = Her shoes can both speak and engage in flattery.

Grammar deficiencies such as a dangling modifier yield similarly confusing results:

• I saw the girl’s purple backpack in the library. = The purple backpack belonging to the girl is in the library; I saw it.
• I saw the purple girl’s backpack in the library. = You know the girl who mysteriously turned purple? I saw her backpack in the library. This week has not been easy on her.

Credibility: Establishing your credibility is critical whether you’re writing for school or business. Proving that you can reliably communicate using proper grammar is essential to establishing and maintaining the trust of your teachers, professors, readers, customers, and colleagues.

What Happens After I Upload My Paper?

Once you upload a paper, the EasyBib Plus grammar checker scans your text and highlights grammar issues within your document so you can see it in context. For users running a grammar check and spell check using the grammar check free tool, up to the first 5 issues are shown. For subscription subscribers, all of the areas that require your review will be highlighted once the scan is complete.

No matter which version of the tool you’re using, your feedback will include detailed explanations so you can understand why the text was flagged. Other highlighted areas will include examples of how the issues can be fixed. Some will include a detailed explanation as to why the issue was flagged. This personalized feedback allows you to make an educated decision about whether to edit your text or dismiss the suggestion, so you’re always in control of your final draft.

Subscription users also have the plagiarism checker at their disposal when scanning their papers for style and grammar suggestions. Just as with our other writing tools, when you use the tool to check plagiarism, changes are never made without your review, so you are always in the driver’s seat. You can review each highlighted area as well as the sources of matching text and will always be given a choice to either accept or ignore both citation and grammar suggestions.

Whether you are a student or a professional, the EasyBib Plus tools are powerful allies that can help you improve your paper, establish credibility as a writer, and maintain an ethical writing process.

Check for Unintentional Plagiarism

Persistent use of the best grammar checker and spell checker you can find will help to shape up the style and substance of your composition. However, to ensure the integrity of your work and root out unintentional instances of academic dishonesty, you’ll also need to incorporate a subscription-based or free plagiarism checker for students.

The ability to scan your paper and check plagiarism and grammar before submitting your work is an invaluable tool for students. It’s so valuable, in fact, that students are not the only ones who consistently use this type of software.

Many teachers and professors use a service to ensure that student papers are original and include properly formatted and sourced citations for all reference materials. For some, this may be a consistent element of their grading process, while others may utilize one only when they feel there is a reason to do so.

What Exactly Does a Plagiarism Checker Do?

If you’ve used an online plagiarism checker before, you may be familiar with the process that these tools employ. For those who have never used one, it can be helpful to understand how these tools work and what you should expect as a result of using one.

The most basic free tools will scan your paper and provide you with a percentage that indicates how much of your work is original. This feature can be useful to a point, as some instructors and institutions set a percentage for the amount of similar text that is considered acceptable. This policy does not mean that they are lenient about academic dishonesty but, instead, that they recognize that similar or even matching word choice is not always an indicator of copying.

However, some schools do not tolerate any form of incremental plagiarism, period. In these institutions, “check paper for plagiarism” is likely a standard action when grading all papers.

With a free plagiarism checker, the percentage of word-for-word plagiarism in your text may be the only feedback you receive. Moreover, some of these providers may wade in unethical waters, and offer essay writing services in conjunction with their checking services. This is why many students and teachers prefer subscription-based checkers that focus on integrity, such as the EasyBib writing tools.

With our premium tools, you get more than just supporting proof that your paper is original and in your own words. Your writing is scanned for potentially matching text and areas that needs your attention is highlighted. We’ll provide you with the source of the matching text so you can review it and decide how to proceed. If you agree that a citation is needed, our citation tools and resources will provide you with the information you need to help format and insert the new sources in your text as well as your works cited page.

How Does the EasyBib Plus Online Plagiarism Checker Work?

The EasyBib Plus writing tool provides an all-in-one spell check, grammar review, and plagiarism checker that not only helps you with the paper you’re writing now but enables you to gain new knowledge and improve your writing for the future, too.

Our essay checker searches online for phrases, sentences, or passages that are similar to those in your paper. If it returns matching text, this may indicate that you have passages that are missing citations.

Just as with many checkers, our tool will tell you how many instances of matching text it finds in your paper. Our plagiarism tool is designed to do more than most free tools, however.

When a portion of your paper is flagged for review, we provide you with the source that it matches. As with our online spell check tool, you have the power to review each area and choose how to proceed. If you decide to cite the flagged text, you can review the suggested source and access our citation tools to help create a proper citation and start building a bibliography for your paper. Or, you may determine that no citation is needed, in which case it’s simple to dismiss the suggestion and continue to the next section.

If you’re unsure about how to proceed, our library of resources can help you learn more and make an educated decision. In this way, you gain more than just the ability to correct your work; over time, you can learn how to avoid plagiarism altogether.

Reasons Your Teacher May Run Your Paper Through a Plagiarism Detector

As stated previously, your teachers and professors grade papers with a fixed process that includes “check paper for plagiarism” as a standard, across-the-board action. Others may check for plagiarism only when they feel there is cause to do so. There are a few red flags that may stand out to them while reviewing a paper that would lead to their running a plagiarism check, including:

Style/Voice:  Most teachers are familiar with the style and voice that you use in your writing. While most will hope that the feedback they provide when grading your work will help you to improve problem areas over time, a paper or essay that has a dramatically different style or voice than the work you’ve previously submitted can be a red flag.

Inconsistency:  Changes in the font, font size, formality, formatting, and more may indicate that portions of a paper have been copied and pasted. If these inconsistent passages are not presented as quotations or don’t include citations, this may further indicate to your teacher that there’s plagiarism in the paper.

Old References:  Part of a well-researched paper is verifying the legitimacy and relevance of your sources. While some older references may be acceptable depending on the topic, if all of your sources are outdated, it may lead your teacher to believe that you’ve recycled your own work or someone else’s.

What is Plagiarism?

If you’re looking for a free online plagiarism checker , you’re already aware that it’s not something you want to be found in your papers. However, you may still be wondering: what does plagiarism mean? It’s a reasonable question and one that merits exploring. After all, some of the actions and circumstances that fall within the plagiarism definition come as a surprise to those who only learn that they’ve committed them after it’s too late.

So what is plagiarism? To define plagiarism in the most basic sense, you might say that it is taking someone else’s ideas and words and passing them off as your own.

If your goal is avoiding plagiarism entirely, you’ll need to go beyond the basics to thoroughly define plagiarism, recognize it, and keep clear of it. Some examples of plagiarism that students find surprising include forgotten citations, poor paraphrasing, and re-submitting your own work in whole or in part for more than one assignment. This useful article provides more help in recognizing and understanding the different forms that academic dishonesty can take.

Of course, using your own words and ideas does not count as plagiarism, nor does using common knowledge . Basically, common knowledge is information that is well known by the average person. Examples of common knowledge:

• there are 12 months in a year
• the freezing point of Celsius is zero degrees
• Socrates was a Greek philosopher

So should you only include your original thoughts and common knowledge in your papers? Of course not! Research-based assignments are meant to demonstrate your skills as a researcher, after all, as well as your ability to build upon the work of others to formulate new ideas. To avoid accidentally committing an act that falls within the plagiarism definition when you’re using another person’s words or ideas, though, you need to give them proper credit. This means you’ll need to clearly identify direct quotations or properly paraphrase them when including them in your paper.

Regardless of your approach, you’ll also need to cite your sources according to the style your professor specifies. Generally, you will use MLA format for the arts and humanities and APA format for the sciences, but it’s always best to check with your instructor when you’re unsure.

If you know what style to use but still aren’t sure how to create your citations, don’t fret! Our library of resources includes free guides to help you learn about various styles so you can properly structure and place them. And our premium tools not only help you check grammar, spelling, and originality in your papers, but subscribers also enjoy access to our citation creation tools!

What are the Different Types of Plagiarism?

In addition to the question “what is plagiarism,” you may also be wondering, “why do students plagiarize?” While some students do intentionally plagiarize because they believe they can pass off someone else’s work as their own to avoid spending time on their assignments, many others do so accidentally. They may not understand how broad the plagiarism definition is or they haven’t learned how to research and cite their sources properly. That is why it is vital to recognize plagiarism in all of its forms if you wish to ensure the integrity of your work.

Examples of plagiarism & How to prevent it

Direct plagiarism:

Intentionally copying another person’s work without including a citation that gives credit to the source. When most students are asked to identify potential plagiarism examples and behaviors, this direct and deliberate act is what they think of first.

• Prevention: If you use an idea or quote from another source, cite it in the text. Make it clear that it was not your own words. 

Incremental plagiarism:

Copying parts of another person’s work, such as phrases, sentences, or paragraphs without crediting the source. When deciding which tools to use to check a paper for plagiarism , instructors often seek out those that will identify incremental forms as well as instances of direct copying and similar phrasing.

• Prevention : Decide to either directly quote the phrases or sentences you want to use, or write a good paraphrase. In both cases, be sure to add a citation. Using a plagiarism checker could also help you identify problematic passages.

Self-plagiarism:

Academic self-plagiarism occurs when a student submits the same paper or parts of a paper for more than one assignment. When your instructors are grading your papers, they’re assessing your research and writing skills in the present. When you submit work that you completed in the past, they are both unable to evaluate your current skills and unaware that you haven’t completed the assignment.

• Prevention: Write a new paper for each assignment you’re assigned. If you feel strongly that your past work could enhance your new paper, speak to your instructor and ask for permission first.

Misleading citations:

Including a citation for a quote or idea that misrepresents the source material. This can occur if a student does not understand the reference they are citing; if a student includes a citation for a disreputable source; or the source material simply does not align with the idea or argument that the student has attributed to it.

• Prevention: Carefully review your assignment to understand it. As you research, take the time to evaluate each source notes . Remember, it’s better to have quality citations over an abundance of citations.

Invented sources:

If a reference in a student’s bibliography is found not to exist, it is considered an invented source. This may occur if a student couldn’t find a reputable source to back their argument, or if they needed to include additional references to meet the requirements of the assignment and chose to take an unethical shortcut rather than completing the required amount of research. No matter the reason, this behavior ultimately hurts them in the long run. Not only will they fail to gain the experience they need to conduct research in the future properly, but they’ll also experience significant consequences if they’re caught.

• Prevention: Set aside time to do proper research so you can find enough sources. Start creating a list of sources as you’re researching and take good notes. This will help you keep track of your sources so none are forgotten. If you do end up forgetting where a quote came from, a paper checker could help you pinpoint the original source. 

Patchwriting/Spinning:

Patchwriting is often confused with paraphrasing, but there’s a significant difference. When you paraphrase, you demonstrate that you understand the topic well enough to restate it in your own words. When you patchwrite or spin, it is more akin to a word-swapping game; there’s no need to understand the subject, merely to have access to a thesaurus so you can substitute enough synonyms to mask the source material. This can be intentional, but it may also be a result of having a poor understanding of how to paraphrase.

• Prevention: Using your own words, write down the key points of the phrase or idea, and put them together in a sentence. Be sure to include a citation as well. 

A good way to test if you’re patchwriting or paraphrasing is to remove your sources from view. If you can write about what you’ve read without looking at the source material, you likely understand it well enough to paraphrase it. If you have to review the source material with each new sentence or consult a thesaurus while writing about it (except when you’re adding direct quotations), you may be spinning your sources instead of paraphrasing them.

Academic Integrity Policies and Statements

If you’re still uncertain about what counts as plagiarism, look for your school’s/ organization’s policies on academic integrity and plagiarism. The policies of academic institutions usually cover what is considered plagiarism, the consequences of committing it, and how to avoid it. One great example is Purdue University’s Academic Integrity statement .

What are the Consequences of Plagiarism?

No matter the setting, plagiarism is not taken lightly, and the consequences can be significant. For a good reason, too! Whether in an academic or professional setting, the plagiarism consequences reflect the seriousness of the act, which is ultimately a form of theft that hurts everyone involved.

Just as with the theft of a tangible object, there can be legal punishments for plagiarism. It is, after all, a form of copyright infringement in many instances. A quick search for plagiarism articles will reveal that professional instances of intellectual theft have resulted in civil lawsuits and can even be criminally prosecuted under rare circumstances. In addition to the possible legal consequences, professionals may lose their jobs or have to start over in a new field after their acts of fraud are uncovered.

As a student, you’re likely to wonder what happens if you plagiarize in college or high school. While there will almost always be consequences for this behavior, there is no one-size-fits-all plagiarism sentence. Depending on the circumstances, academic dishonesty could result in outcomes such as:

• You might get a zero for the assignment in which the infringement occurred.
• You may receive a failing grade for the class. If it is a required course, this could leave you without enough credits to move on to the next level until you can repeat it and, in some instances, postpone graduation.
• You may be expelled from your school or university.

The academic dishonesty may be noted on your transcript, which can lead to you not getting into your preferred college, graduate school, or Ph.D. program in the future.

Nobody wants to be known as a fraud or to have a reputation for dishonesty follow them through their career. And, given the consequences that can extend beyond just their reputation, it’s no wonder that professional and academic writers who wish to avoid them take the time to understand the complete definition of plagiarism and run their work through a plagiarism checker before sending it out into the world.

Even the vigilant can fall prey to inferior tools, unfortunately. Before selecting a plagiarism checker, you should understand how they work and what they can (and cannot) detect.

How We Check for Plagiarism

When exploring how to check for plagiarism, most students and professionals conclude that including a checking tool in their revision process is not only helpful but necessary. When you consider the Herculean task of checking each line of your paper against the text of each of your resources, the benefits of a checker are clear. Moreover, this manual approach would only alert you to matching text in the sources you’re aware of, after all, and leaves the sources you haven’t reviewed untouched.

But, hang on. Why would sources you haven’t reviewed factor into your review? The answer to this lies in the plagiarism definition you learned above. What is plagiarism? It’s presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, intentionally or otherwise. It is not uncommon to uncover an idea while you’re researching a topic and later misremember it as your own. This might even occur years after you originally came across it.

You might wonder: how can plagiarism be avoided if you have to account for the source of every thought you include in your work? A few exceptions minimize the scope of this. Common knowledge about your topic does not need to be supported by a citation, nor does knowledge that you gained through your personal experience. Using a subscription-based or free plagiarism checker will help you locate any passages that may fall into these categories so you can review them and decide for yourself whether a citation is needed.

EasyBib Plus writing tools provide easy, convenient, and reliable support to help you find potentially missed citations and can help you improve your paper into a high-quality paper with integrity. Simply upload your paper, select the checker, then sit back and relax as the site scans your document. In mere moments, we’ll search the web for passages of similar text and highlight duplicate content for your review.

Regardless of the tools you use to help you revise and polish your work, it’s ultimately your responsibility to ensure that you’re writing and submitting ethical work. That’s why our tools go beyond the basics and require your participation. The tool never automatically makes changes to your paper, but only flags sections that may need your attention and provides you with the matching source so you can to make an educated decision.

If you find that a citation is needed, our citation tools can help you create properly formatted citations and develop a complete bibliography. And, if you review the passage and determine that the match is coincidental, you can dismiss the alert and move on to the next.

Seamless Citation Creation

Professional writers and students alike can find creating citations incredibly confusing. Nevertheless, they are an integral part of a well-written and researched paper and a requirement in almost all academic settings. But, have you ever wondered why they are so important? Citations really do have a purpose—other than driving us crazy— that make it necessary always to cite our sources.

We cite our sources for a few important reasons:

We need to give credit where credit is due. When you use a quote from someone else’s work, you need to give credit for using their words and ideas. Research is often based on the works and ideas of others. However, to include the words and ideas of another without giving them proper credit is to plagiarize, even if the act was unintentional.

In addition, showing that you’ve done proper research by including in text & parenthetical citations and a comprehensive list of sources to back up your arguments gives your work a layer of credibility that can help you earn the trust of your reader or teacher.

Readers can find the sources you used.  When you’re writing high school or undergraduate papers, your only readers may be your instructors and peers. However, including citations at every level of writing helps to ensure that anyone who reads your work can access your sources to check their accuracy, learn more about your topic, and further their own research.

Sources can take your research and learning to the next level, too. When you are conducting research on a topic, checking the works cited or annotated bibliographies prepared by your sources can lead you down new avenues in your research to further develop your ideas and help you write your papers.

Correctly utilizing citations gives strength to your thoughts and opinions. Understanding the value of citations does not, unfortunately, make them any easier to create. We know how confusing it can be, but don’t throw in the towel on learning how to cite websites in MLA , create your APA citation website references, or format your works cited —this is where we come in!

While a free online plagiarism detector may tell you how much of your work is unoriginal and may even identify the passages that meet their plagiarize definition, a premium EasyBib Plus plagiarism checker account also gives you access to our powerful citation resources and generator so you can:

Scan your papers with the plagiarism tool to check for plagiarism-free work before you submit.

How Does the Plagiarism Checker Work?

Before subscription-based and free plagiarism checkers became readily available, figuring out how to check for plagiarism efficiently and effectively was a vexing problem. After all, reviewing every sentence by hand and comparing it all with the entirety of the world’s published works for potential plagiarism would be an arduous and potentially impossible task. That’s why instructors across all levels of education often rely on automated scanning tools (like a paid or free online plagiarism checker)  to check for plagiarism and help them identify instances of academic dishonesty; and why students should, too.

A free plagiarism checker may scan your paper for matching text and merely highlight the problem areas and return a percentage that reflects the amount of unoriginal writing it uncovered. The BibMe Plus paper checker offers a lot more than a free plagiarism site and gives you the information you need to make fully informed and intelligent decisions. Our plagiarism detector reveals any passages that require your review and returns the results to you, along with links to the source that contains matching text.

The BibMe Plus grammar checker is available precisely when and where you need it. Conduct an on-demand spell check and grammar check at any time of day to validate the integrity of your work, and to generate any missing citations, all in a matter of seconds.

What is Plagiarism?

Committing academic dishonesty could lead to failing grades and even expulsion Knowing the potential consequences of plagiarism certainly makes it clear why you should avoid it. However, without a concrete definition, abstaining from it can prove challenging.

If you’re wondering, “What does plagiarism mean?” an easy to remember plagiarism definition is that it’s the act of using someone else’s work or ideas without giving them proper credit . It’s important to note that this definition is not bound by intention, and students may commit it both knowingly and unknowingly in a research paper .

Learning to define plagiarism is just the first step in developing the awareness necessary to avoid it. Identifying it in its various forms is the crucial next step, combined with consistently utilizing a subscription-based or free online plagiarism checker as a non-negotiable element of your paper-writing process.

Is your paper in need of a plagiarism check?  The BibMe Plus grammar check and plagiarism tool has got you covered! It’s designed to help spot those pesky places in your paper that may get red marks from your teacher, and it couldn’t be easier to use. Simply upload or paste your paper into the online plagiarism checker and, in no time at all, you’ll receive your results and can review any areas of concern. Try it now!

Not ready to check for plagiarism yet? Not to worry–the BibMe Plus plagiarism tool is available 24/7, so you can research, write, and revise when it’s best for your schedule.

Examples of Plagiarism

While it’s critical to understand the plagiarism definition as it’s broadly defined, it’s just as vital to learn the various ways it can occur if proactively preventing plagiarism is your goal.

Direct Plagiar ism:

Direct plagiarism is the deliberate act of copying another individual’s work or idea into an assignment without providing any type of acknowledgment. An example of this would be a student copying and pasting text from a source into their project, without using quotation marks or any kind of attribution.

Incremental Plagiarism : 

Copying bits and pieces from a single sentence and adding them into a project without attribution is a form of literary theft called incremental plagiarism . Just as with direct plagiarism, the incremental form attempts to disguise when a student or writer is taking credit for words and ideas that are not their own.

Patchwriting:

When a writer rephrases another author’s words (and it remains similar to the original words) and includes them without attribution in their work, it is known as patchwriting or mosaic writing .

How does it happen? Perhaps the writer rearranged words in the sentence, subbed out a few adjectives with synonyms, or used bits and pieces of the original wording and mixed it with their own. No matter the method, the original wording is often easy to spot as it peeks through its patchwork disguise.

Self-Plagiarism:

Plagiarizing another author’s words or ideas is an issue that most students recognize as wrong, but many are shocked to learn that reusing their own words can also fit the plagiarism definition. After all, they ask, how can I steal from myself?

Self-plagiarism is less about stealing and more about deceiving. When a student refurbishes or reuses work they completed in the past and turns it in a second time instead of completing new, original work, they are not honest with their teacher. Even reusing portions or paragraphs of your previous work without disclosing it is dishonest.

Do you have a paper you want to evaluate so you can confirm you’ve completed your research responsibly without plagiarizing (by accident)? A quick scan with the BibMe Plus plagiarism tool will help highlight phrases, sentences, or paragraphs in your paper that are found elsewhere on the internet. Each highlighted section has a prompt that will also ask you if you need a reference for it. Even better? If you review the source and determine that you need to add a citation, the plagiarism check tool will guide you through the steps of creating and inserting your reference. Pretty awesome, right? We think so too.

Lesser-Known Examples of Plagiarism

There are quite a few acts of intentional or unintentional dishonesty that students are surprised to learn also meet the definition of plagiarism.

Misleading Citations:

Including misleading citations is a form of academic dishonesty that is just as serious as direct infringement.

To understand how this fits into the plagiarize definition, consider the final result. If this type of plagiarism is undetected, the writer has deceived their audience and created a false belief about the words and ideas in the source material and its author. Whether it occurs intentionally or unintentionally, misleading citations draw a false link between an idea and a source and harm a student’s credibility.

Invented Sources:

While misleading references can occur as a result of not understanding your research, invented sources are more often the result of insufficient research or intentional deception. A student who can’t find a source to back up a point they want to make or who doesn’t want to commit the necessary time to ethically complete a paper might resort to including one or more invented sources in their bibliography. Whatever the cause, an invented source creates an illusion of credibility by tying an idea to a source that doesn’t exist.

An invented source can also be the result of poor note-taking. Perhaps you found the perfect quote to include in your introduction but forgot to write down the source. You know it’s wrong to plagiarize, but unless you invent a source you’ll have to remove the quote, right?

Wrong! Rather than choosing between removing the quote or inventing a reference, let the BibMe Plus plagiarism tool free up some time by helping you find the source and create an accurate citation. It’s quick and easy to scan your paper for plagiarism and, most importantly, it’s the ethical thing to do.

What Is Not Plagiarism

With the definition of plagiarism covering so much ground, it’s easy to raise the alarms and wonder if even the most innocent of acts might be construed as plagiarizing. Our advice? Don’t panic. Instead, sit back, relax, and check out these times when you can write your heart out, worry-free:

Common Knowledge:

Information that is widely known and accepted as fact is considered common knowledge. This can either be information that is known to most people in the world, in your country, in your state, or even just in your field of study, depending on the audience for your work. For example:

J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter series.

This is a fact that is known widely enough that it is considered common knowledge and does not require a citation.

If your statement is considered common knowledge, you can include it in your paper without creating a citation. Keep in mind, though, that research papers showcase new ideas and analysis. Common knowledge is acceptable to include, but make sure you mix in information from outside sources as well.

Attributed Quote or Idea:

To include the ideas of others in your papers, you need only to attribute them to the original author to ensure you safely stay on the side of academic integrity. A proper paraphrase or direct quote with a citation is an excellent way to promote a point in your paper, while also demonstrating that you fully understand the author’s idea and have completed your research responsibly.

While most writers remember to add references for direct quotes, they can sometimes forget to include references when adding paraphrases into papers. A free plagiarism site may only help these writers pinpoint passages, but the BibMe Plus tool also helps you develop accurate references, in Chicago citation style and many others, in all types of situations. Quotes, paraphrases, full references: you name it, our plagiarism checker does it, and does it well.

Now that we’ve learned what is and isn’t plagiarism, let’s look at how to avoid it entirely.

How to Avoid Plagiarism

When you first learn to define plagiarism and realize how expansive the definition is, it can be intimidating to think about all the information you have to cite. That’s where the BibMe Plus online plagiarism tool comes in by helping to spot intentional and accidental plagiarism and flagging any matching text for your review.

When you use the plagiarism tool, or any of our resources, your paper always stays in your control. You’ll be given the potential source for each flagged passage so you can review it and decide whether to create a citation or dismiss the alert.

Free plagiarism checker for you to enjoy

Essay plagiarism checker free with accurate percentage.

When dealing with an academic task, a student often needs to check essay for plagiarism before submitting it to their professor. Many colleges and high schools set a certain limit on plagiarised content in essays, research papers, theses, and other academic papers. So, it's crucial to know the exact percentage of unique content to avoid any issues with your educator.

Unfortunately, a typical plagiarism checker free for students doesn't show the precise ratio of the original text in an essay. It simply states whether the whole text has any traces of plagiarism. This is utterly misleading and unhelpful. Even the simplest citation will make your text not 100% original, not to mention improper quotes and self-plagiarism. So, you'll be left with only one choice - to rewrite your essay from scratch in an attempt to get fully original content. Considering how complex and lengthy formatting rules for scholars are, crafting a 100% unique text without making a single citation or self-plagiarism mistake becomes a nearly impossible task.

The 5 Types of Plagiarism | Explanations & Examples

Published on January 10, 2022 by Raimo Streefkerk . Revised on November 21, 2023 by Jack Caulfield.

Plagiarism comes in many forms, some more severe than others—from rephrasing someone’s ideas without acknowledgement to stealing a whole essay. These are the five most common types of plagiarism:

• Global plagiarism means passing off an entire text by someone else as your own work.
• Verbatim plagiarism means directly copying someone else’s words.
• Paraphrasing plagiarism means rephrasing someone else’s ideas to present them as your own.
• Patchwork plagiarism means stitching together parts of different sources to create your text.
• Self-plagiarism means recycling your own past work.

Except for global plagiarism, these types of plagiarism are often accidental, resulting from failure to understand how to properly quote, paraphrase, and cite your sources. If you’re concerned about accidental plagiarism, a plagiarism checker , like the one from Scribbr, can help.

Table of contents

Global plagiarism: plagiarizing an entire text, verbatim plagiarism: copying words directly, paraphrasing plagiarism: rephrasing ideas, patchwork plagiarism: stitching together sources, self-plagiarism: plagiarizing your own work, frequently asked questions about plagiarism.

Global plagiarism means taking an entire text by someone else and passing it off as your own.

For example, if you get someone else to write an essay or assignment for you, or if you find a text online and submit it as your own work, you are committing global plagiarism.

Because it involves deliberately and directly lying about the authorship of a work, this is the most serious type of plagiarism, and it can have severe consequences .

Avoiding this kind of plagiarism is straightforward: just write your own essays!

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

Verbatim plagiarism, also called direct plagiarism, means copying and pasting someone else’s words into your own work without attribution.

This could be text that’s completely identical to the original or slightly altered. If the structure and the majority of the words are the same as in the original, this counts as verbatim plagiarism, even if you delete or change a couple of words.

In academic writing, you can and should refer to the words of others. To avoid verbatim plagiarism, you just need to quote the original source by putting the copied text in quotation marks and including an in-text citation . You can use the free Scribbr Citation Generator to create correctly formatted citations in MLA or APA Style .

Generate accurate citations with Scribbr

Most plagiarism checkers can easily detect verbatim plagiarism.

Example of verbatim plagiarism

Paraphrasing means putting a piece of text into your own words. Paraphrasing without citation is the most common type of plagiarism.

Paraphrasing, like quoting, is a legitimate way to incorporate the ideas of others into your writing. It only becomes plagiarism when you rewrite a source’s points as if they were your own. To avoid plagiarism when paraphrasing, cite your sources just as you would when quoting.

If you translate a piece of text from another language without citation, this is also a type of paraphrasing plagiarism. Translated text should always be cited; you’re still using someone else’s ideas, even if they’re in a different language.

Example of paraphrasing

Patchwork plagiarism, also called mosaic plagiarism, means copying phrases, passages, and ideas from different sources and putting them together to create a new text.

This can involve slightly rephrasing passages while keeping many of the same words and the same basic structure as the original, and inserting your own words here and there to stitch the plagiarized text together. Make sure to cite your sources whenever you quote or paraphrase to avoid plagiarism.

This type of plagiarism requires more effort and is more insidious than just copying and pasting from one source, but plagiarism checkers like Turnitin can still easily detect it.

Example of patchwork plagiarism

Self-plagiarism means reusing work that you’ve previously submitted or published. It amounts to academic dishonesty to present a paper or a piece of data as brand new when you’ve already gotten credit for the work.

The most serious form of self-plagiarism is to turn in a paper you already submitted for a grade to another class. Unless you have explicit permission to do so, this is always considered self-plagiarism.

Self-plagiarism can also occur when you reuse ideas, phrases or data from your previous assignments. Reworking old ideas and passages is not plagiarism as long as you have permission to do so and you cite your previous work to make their origins clear.

Scribbr’s Self-Plagiarism Checker

Online plagiarism scanners don’t have access to internal university databases and therefore can’t check your document for self-plagiarism.

Using Scribbr’s Self-Plagiarism Checker , you can upload your previous work and compare it to your current document. The checker will scan the texts for similarities and flag any passages where you might have self-plagiarized.

Global plagiarism means taking an entire work written by someone else and passing it off as your own. This can mean getting someone else to write an essay or assignment for you, or submitting a text you found online as your own work.

Global plagiarism is the most serious type of plagiarism because it involves deliberately and directly lying about the authorship of a work. It can have severe consequences .

To ensure you aren’t accidentally plagiarizing, consider running your work through plagiarism checker tool prior to submission. These tools work by using advanced database software to scan for matches between your text and existing texts.

Scribbr’s Plagiarism Checker takes less than 10 minutes and can help you turn in your paper with confidence.

Verbatim plagiarism means copying text from a source and pasting it directly into your own document without giving proper credit.

Even if you delete a few words or replace them with synonyms, it still counts as verbatim plagiarism.

To use an author’s exact words, quote the original source by putting the copied text in quotation marks and including an in-text citation .

If you’re worried about plagiarism, consider running your work through a plagiarism checker tool prior to submission, which work by using advanced database software to scan for matches between your text and existing texts.

Paraphrasing without crediting the original author is a form of plagiarism , because you’re presenting someone else’s ideas as if they were your own.

However, paraphrasing is not plagiarism if you correctly cite the source . This means including an in-text citation and a full reference, formatted according to your required citation style .

As well as citing, make sure that any paraphrased text is completely rewritten in your own words.

Patchwork plagiarism (aka mosaic plagiarism) means copying phrases, passages, or ideas from various existing sources and combining them to create a new text. While this type of plagiarism is more insidious than simply copy-pasting directly from a source, plagiarism checkers like Turnitin’s can still easily detect it.

To avoid plagiarism in any form, remember to cite your sources . Also consider running your work through a plagiarism checker tool prior to submission, which work by using advanced database software to scan for matches between your text and existing texts.

Yes, reusing your own work without acknowledgment is considered self-plagiarism . This can range from re-submitting an entire assignment to reusing passages or data from something you’ve turned in previously without citing them.

Self-plagiarism often has the same consequences as other types of plagiarism . If you want to reuse content you wrote in the past, make sure to check your university’s policy or consult your professor.

• 1 What Is A Plagiarism Lawsuit Case?
• 2 Consequences of Plagiarism Lawsuits
• 3 List of the Most Famous Plagiarism Lawsuit Cases
• 4 Let’s Make A Change!

The purpose of this text is to explain illegal copying of other people’s words and ideas and list the nine most famous plagiarism lawsuit cases.

What Is A Plagiarism Lawsuit Case?

When we say that we have a case of plagiarism, we mean that a particular person used another individual’s intellectual property like research, text, or idea and presented them as their own. Naturally, the person who plagiarizes doesn’t give any credit to the rightful owner.

Such cases can happen in different spheres of education and culture, such as writing and poetry, music, cinematography, scientific research, etc. Sometimes, there are even plagiarism cases where a country plagiarizes a national flag or another country’s national anthem.

Consequences of Plagiarism Lawsuits

Numerous countries have strict policies and laws on illegal copying in their legislative systems, so some cases become plagiarism lawsuit cases. After the plagiarism court case ends, the person who plagiarized has to bear a particular punishment.

These consequences will depend on the type of appropriation in question, the volume of plagiarized content, the country’s attitude towards borrowings and originality, and the status of the “author.” Copying among undergraduates can lead to a serious warning or a notice.

Sometimes, a student may get expelled, but plagiarism in dissertation theses or government officials’ speeches may lead to severe consequences such as dismissal from the designated position or a bad reputation.

In line with this, when a famous person gets accused of plagiarism, the case will usually end in a lawsuit and reach court. The consequences of such cases can lead to the destruction of careers and lives. For example, in cases that involve famous writers, politicians, compositors, artists, and filmmakers.

A lot of celebrities were involved in appropriation that ended in a scandal. Some cases are so high-profile that they are interesting for each individual who digs a little deeper into plagiarism. Let’s see the nine most famous examples of such cases of “borrowing”.

List of the Most Famous Plagiarism Lawsuit Cases

Here’s a list of nine famous copying cases where each incident was reached and resolved in court. You’ll also be able to see what the plagiarism consequences in such cases can be.

• “Blurred Lines” uses blurred sources.

Marvin Gaye’s children accused the duo that created the song “Blurred Lines” in 2013 of plagiarism. The children claimed that the duo copied parts for “Blurred Lines” from Gaye’s original “Got to Give Up.” They requested an astounding $7.3 million.

The members of the duo, Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams, admitted that there were certain similarities between the two songs but stated that those were coincidental rather than a case of plagiarizing. Whatever the case, $7.3 million is a lot of money to pay for a coincidence.

• Taylor Swift to “Shake it Off” plagiarism.

Taylor Swift’s case is one of the most ridiculous ones in the history of music. She was accused of allegedly plagiarizing the lyrics of Jesse Brahan, an R&B singer. He accuses Swift of using parts from his song called “Haters Gonna Hate” in her hit “Shake it Off.”

For this coincidence, Braham wanted Swift to pay the enormous $42 million. However, after numerous reviews, the board concluded that some phrases in the song were not the case of stolen intellectual property and are often used in rhyme. The case was a ridiculous attempt to make money.

• Joseph Biden’s self-plagiarism.

Senator Joe Biden was accused of plagiarism, proclaimed guilty, and forced to remove himself from the 1988 presidential election campaign. He admitted that he plagiarized his text from an introductory methodology class and failed to provide the right citations.

The case reached the Delaware Supreme Court, where the court dismissed all allegations. However, Biden was again accused of appropriation later in his career. This time, copying was detected in his public speech where he didn’t give credit to Senator Kennedy. Because of that, the court removed Biden from the Presidential Campaign.

• Karl-Theodor Zu Guttenberg and his dissertation scam.

Karl-Theodor Zu Guttenberg was the German Minister of Defense and was accused of copying the greater part of his doctoral dissertation. When an analytical review took place, it was apparent that he plagiarized 63% of his work without giving credits. He was removed from his position instantly and lost his Doctoral title.

• Annette Shcavan’s Ph.D. thesis plagiarism.

As the German Minister of Education and Research, the University of Dusseldorf accused Annette Schavan of plagiarizing her Ph.D. thesis. When an investigation led by the University of Dusseldorf took place, it was apparent that Schavan used 60 secondary sources in her work without ever citing or giving credit to the original authors.

After all this information came to light, the university revoked Annette’s doctoral dissertation and permanently removed Schavan from the minister of education and research position. If the University of Dusseldorf hadn’t performed a check for plagiarism, the issue would never have been discovered and resolved.

• Victor Ponta and his copy-paste Ph.D. thesis.

Victor Ponta, the Romanian Prime Minister, was accused of plagiarism regarding his Ph.D. thesis, where, according to reviews, 27% of the thesis was an account of copy-paste. Ponta denied all accusations and said that his political enemies wanted to crush him.

However, later on, Victor admitted that some parts of his doctoral dissertation were a case of copied content. The most surprising moment of this case of plagiarism was the Ministry of Education’s reaction. They disapproved of the allegations, took back the claim, and dissolved the committee working on the case.

• Florida Times and plagiarized content.

Florida Times led an investigation in 2021, claiming that there was plagiarism in the editorial content. The paper found numerous cases of paraphrasing and copying in this investigation. One of the most respected editors of the Florida Times, Lloyd Brown, admitted there was copying in the editorial content.

However, he mentioned that this type of plagiarism was never intentional. Because he came clean in this case, feeling shame, he resigned from the position as the content editor of Florida Times.

• The New York Times and plagiarized content.

A content editor at New York Times, Jayson Blair, went an extra mile than Florida Times’ Lloyd Brown. He was engaged in intellectual fraud daily, and what’s even worse, he did it intentionally. When the investigators reviewed his work, they discovered counterfeit info, photos, facts, etc.

The board of editors at the New York Times characterized this issue due to bad coordination among the paper’s staff. In any case, this unqualified content that entered the NYT was colossal damage to the company.

• The Hungarian Deputy Prime Minister and his plagiarized Ph.D. thesis content.

According to a news portal in Hungary, Zsolt Semjen, a Hungarian Deputy Prime Minister, plagiarized around 40% of his Ph.D. thesis. He didn’t cite any of the content he plagiarized. However, the university where he received his doctoral degree couldn’t decide upon the original authors of the content Semjen plagiarized and attribute it to them.

For this reason, even though the board revoked his Ph.D. degree, Semjen continued to hold his original position as the Deputy Prime Minister. Not only did he continue to hold his political status, but he continued to hold his Ph.D. status as well.

Let’s Make A Change!

As academic individuals, we can all do our part and help prevent plagiarism. First and foremost, it’s essential to keep notes and track all references citing the original authors. When a sentence is used word-for-word from another source, quotation marks are a must.

Most importantly, when we write essays, any thesis, or a Ph.D. work, it’s vital to make sure that we never copy-paste any material from other authors and always check for plagiarism before submitting your final work. We should always focus on making original arguments, and the cited statements from others can only help support our claims.

Tim Walz's military record: What to know about potential VP's National Guard service

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday, choosing a progressive yet plain-spoken VP candidate from America’s heartland to help her win over rural, white voters.

“I’m pleased to share that I’ve made my decision: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will join our campaign as my running mate,” Harris said via text to supporters. “Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families. I know that he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign, and to the office of the vice president.”

We look at Walz, a 60-year-old U.S. Army National Guard veteran, and his military career over the years.

How long was Walz in the military?

Walz served in the military for 24 years, enlisting in the Nebraska National Guard at 17 in 1981 and then transferring to the Minnesota National Guard in 1996. He retired in 2005 to begin his successful run for the U.S. House, representing Minnesota as command sergeant major, among the highest ranks for enlisted soldiers. His battalion went on to deploy to Iraq shortly after Walz's retirement.

Walz specialized in heavy artillery and had proficiency ribbons in sharpshooting and hand grenades.

But during the 21 years that Walz spent working with large artillery pieces, he suffered hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears, Minnesota Public Radio reported. He was allowed to continue his service after undergoing surgery, which partially resolved his hearing loss.

Where did Walz serve, and what did he do in the National Guard?

During his service, Walz responded to natural disasters, including floods and tornadoes in Minnesota and Nebraska, and was deployed overseas for months at a time, according to MPR.

In 2003, he was sent to Italy, where he served with the European Security Force to support the war in Afghanistan. He was also stationed in Norway for joint training with other NATO militaries.

Walz told MPR that he reenlisted in the National Guard after the September 11 attacks but never saw active combat in his years in the military.

Stars and Stripes reported in 2020 that Walz credited his Army experience with helping him steer Minnesota through the COVID-19 pandemic as governor.

As governor of Minnesota, Walz is commander in chief of the 13,000-soldier Minnesota National Guard. “I’m certainly proud of my military service, but it’s one piece of me,” he told Minnesota Public Radio in 2018. “It doesn’t define me.”

'Squad' member Cori Bush loses congressional primary

Democratic congresswoman and "Squad" member Cori Bush has lost her primary race in Missouri, according to US media projections.

Wesley Bell, a St Louis prosecutor, will instead be the party's candidate in the state's first congressional district this November.

Ms Bush, a nurse, came to prominence as an organiser in the Black Lives Matter movement and, after taking office in 2021, as one of the Democratic members of the "Squad", who are known to support progressive causes.

She has been a vocal critic of Israel's war in Gaza, with pro-Israel groups spending more than $10m (£7.9m) on efforts to unseat her in the primary.

Projections from both the Associated Press news agency and NBC News suggest Mr Bell is on track to win the vote with 51% of ballots cast, compared to Ms Bush's 46%.

The district is a strongly Democratic area and Mr Bell is expected to hold it in the November general election.

Almost all the money spent in campaigning against Ms Bush reportedly came from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac). Aipac is a pro-Israel lobbying group and has vowed to spend over $100m to unseat progressive lawmakers who have spoken out against the war in Gaza, Politico reported.

In her concession speech, Ms Bush declared: "All they did was radicalise me, so now they need to be afraid."

"Aipac, I'm coming to tear your kingdom down," she added.

It marks the second loss for the Squad - a group of nine progressive Democrats in the US House of Representatives - during the 2024 election cycle.

In June, more than $15m was put into a successful bid to oust Jamaal Bowman , another critic of Israel, from his seat in New York. The figure was the most spent in any House primary in history. Mr Bowman was ousted just weeks after he was censured for pulling a fire alarm while the House was in session.

Speaking to CBS News, the BBC's US news partner, ahead of the vote, Mr Bell accused Ms Bush of "not doing her job".

"She is not working with others, and it's hurting our district."

Ms Bush defended her record to the outlet: "My community knows who I am. They know that I am going to fight for the people in the streets."

Less than two weeks after the 7 October attacks, Ms Bush introduced a resolution calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid.

The attacks, carried out by Hamas and other armed militant groups saw around 1,200 people killed in Israel and another 251 taken to Gaza as hostages.

In response, Israel declared a "complete siege" on Gaza, cutting off supplies of electricity, food, fuel, and water. To date, more than 39,600 people have been killed during Israel's military campaign in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Ms Bush also boycotted a joint address to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July, calling him a war criminal and saying he was at the forefront of a genocide. Dozens of House and Senate Democrats boycotted Mr Netanyahu's address.

In a statement ahead of the vote Ms Bush accused Mr Netanyahu of perpetrating a "genocide" in Gaza and claimed Congress was "actively celebrating" his actions.

Ms Bush has also been investigated by the justice department, House ethics committee and Federal Elections Commission for her campaign spending, mostly over allegations that she improperly paid her husband, a security guard, for protection.

She previously said any claims she had misused federal funds were "simply false".

Three other US states - Kansas, Michigan and Washington - also held primary elections on Tuesday.

Dan Newhouse, one of the last remaining Republicans to have voted to impeach Donald Trump, appeared to have scraped through in his primary election.

Washington state holds what is known as a jungle primary, allowing the top two finishers - regardless of party - to advance to the general election.

Mr Newhouse, an agricultural scientist who has represented a central Washington district since 2015, faced off against two Trump-endorsed candidates - Navy veteran Jerrod Sessler and ex-nurse Tiffany Smiley.

Early projections of the race show Mr Sessler leading Mr Newhouse, with Ms Smiley close behind them - meaning that the incumbent could face a difficult challenge in November.

Of the so-called "Impeachment 10" - Republicans who voted in favour of Trump's impeachment - only Mr Newhouse and California's David Valadao remain in the House.

All other pro-impeachment Republicans have either left Congress since their 2021 vote or been defeated in primary races.
