C6.3 Plagiarism Detection Software

What Plagiarism Checker Software is Used in the UK? How to Check for Essay Plagiarism?
The consequences of being caught plagiarizing an essay in the UK are severe—usually, you will be unable to graduate, expelled from the university, or even repatriated in serious cases. For specific details, refer to the previous guide on writing References for UK essays, which includes detailed explanations of what constitutes plagiarism, how to avoid it, and what to do if accused of plagiarism by the university.
What is a plagiarism checker?A plagiarism checker scans your essay to compare its content with that of other essays, calculating the similarity percentage. A high similarity rate will lead to suspicion of plagiarism. For example, some UK universities require a similarity rate below 20%, while others set it at 30%. Requirements vary by university and even by instructor, so always follow your institution’s or teacher’s specific guidelines.
What are the common plagiarism checker tools?
