Features
Accuracy: The power behind academicplagiarism’s algorithm is its accuracy. When uploading documents for a plagiarism scan, professors have two options
1- Exact sentence structure match. This option will only flag text as plagiarism if it exactly matches the source sentence. The advantage of this option is its detection accuracy as even the lowest plagiarism percentage is considered a red flag and requires further action. This option will not detect sentences and phrases that have been slightly modified using synonyms, passive/active voice alterations…etc.
2- Dynamic detection: This option can flag sentences and phrases that have been slightly modified to avoid being detected.
Intelligence: Unlike most plagiarism detection services, academicplagiarism’s algorithm will detect quotations in your students’ work and will not flag them as potential plagiarism. This significantly improves the accuracy of the reports.
Ease of use: Plagiarism reports are very easy to read and navigate. academicplagiarism uses a very simple color-coded system to flag potential instances of plagiarism. Once a report is generated, users can simply click on individual sentences to view the source. Reports include a plagiarism percentage indicating the amount of potential plagiarism that has been detected in each document. Instructors have the option to upload multiple files as a single batch. In addition, professors have the option to download and print plagiarism reports as PDF documents to keep for their records or to show as evidence when presenting an infraction report.
