Scribbr Information

When should I use the Own Sources Checker instead of the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker? The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker compares your document against the largest plagiarism database in the world. It will detect any similarities with documents in that database. However, you might be unsure if all of the sources you used are in that database for example, because some of your sources are unpublished. In this case, you can make use of our Own Sources Checker. Here you can add all the sources you want to a private database and compare them with your own document. How long does the Scribbr Plagiarism Check take? The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker needs approximately 10 minutes to process your document. This time is needed to compare your paper with a massive database with billions of web pages and publications. Documents larger than 35.000 words can take a bit longer. We will send you an e-mail when the check is finished! Can I check my document for plagiarism multiple times? The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker will only check your document for plagiarism once. Dont worry if you have followed our guide , as well as our articles on preventing plagiarism and citing sources , there is no need to perform a second plagiarism check. Keep in mind that if you try to avoid plagiarism by paraphrasing , you still need to include a reference to the original source. If you still want to perform a second plagiarism check, youll have to buy a new check at the regular price. Will I get a 100% match at my school when I use the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker? We understand this concern. However, since the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker does not store any documents that it checks in a shared database, its impossible for this to happen. As an added precaution, you can also personally delete your details and documents from Scribbrs own server as soon as youve received the results of your Plagiarism Check.
