Plagiarism Checker by The Word Counter

Plagiarism Checking

The Word Counter’s plagiarism checker can detect plagiarism from billions of web pages as well as from ProQuest’s academic databases. Our free plagiarism check will tell you whether or not your text contains duplicate content. Our Premium plagiarism check highlights passages that require citations and gives you the resources you need to properly credit your sources.

Writing Enhancements

The plagiarism checker is part of a robust writing app that offers advanced feedback on writing mechanics like grammar and spelling as well as more complex stylistic issues like word choice, conciseness, tone, and more.

Why Use a Plagiarism Checker?

You’re working on a paper and you’ve just written a line that seems kind of familiar. Did you read it somewhere while you were researching the topic? If you did, does that count as plagiarism? Now that you’re looking at it, there are a couple of other lines that you know you borrowed from somewhere. You didn’t bother with a citation at the time because you weren’t planning to keep them. But now they’re an important part of your paper. Is it still plagiarism if you’re using less than a paragraph?

Using someone else’s text without attribution is plagiarism, whether you meant to do it or not. Unintentional plagiarism of even a sentence or two can have serious consequences. For students, plagiarism often means a failing grade, academic probation, or worse. Fortunately, there is a tool that can help. The Word Counter’s online plagiarism checker can help you ensure that you have properly identified and cited anything in your text that isn’t 100 percent original.

We originally designed our online plagiarism checker for students, but it’s a useful tool for writers in any field who want to create fresh, original, plagiarism-free work.

How Does The Word Counter’s Plagiarism Checker Work?

Our online plagiarism checker compares your text to over 16 billion web pages and academic papers stored in ProQuest’s databases. When part of your text matches something written online or in a database, you’ll get a
plagiarism alert.

When you use The Word Counter’s free online plagiarism check to detect
plagiarism, you’ll see an instant report that tells you whether or not
plagiarism was found and how many grammar and writving issues are present in your document. The Word Counter’s Premium plagiarism checker flags specific sentences and provides reference information about the source,
calculates an overall originality score for your document, and offers
advanced writing feedback and corrections across several dimensions.

Rest assured, your writing will stay private. Our plagiarism checker will not make your writing searchable publicly or in any other database. No other
plagiarism checkers will see your text.
