Cross-checked against the published scholarly record — indexed journals, conference proceedings, patents, and dissertations. Read by a senior editor before send. Built for manuscripts going out to Springer, Elsevier, IEEE, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, and MDPI.
A standard plagiarism check is built around the student-submission database — the right tool for thesis and assignment work. A journal editor doesn't run that. They run a check against the published literature: indexed journals, proceedings, patents, dissertations. So do we — for this report.
Roughly seventy-four million articles across ~2,000 publishers — the spine of the published record. Includes Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, IEEE, Taylor & Francis, MDPI, Nature Portfolio, Oxford and Cambridge journals.
IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ACL Anthology, Springer LNCS, plus society proceedings. Critical for engineering, computer science, and applied work — where the citation may be a proceedings paper rather than a journal article.
ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, Shodhganga (UGC), and DART-Europe. Catches self-plagiarism from your own earlier MPhil or PhD work — the single most common source flagged on a journal pre-submission check.
USPTO / EPO / WIPO patent filings, plus arXiv, bioRxiv, SSRN, and PubMed Central. The scholarly open web — preprints, university working papers — is included; the consumer web is not.
The report header, sources overview, and page-by-page breakdown match the layout journal desks see every day. No re-formatting, no explaining what they are looking at.
A free check counts your bibliography as plagiarism. We don't. Direct quotes, the reference list, equations, and figure captions are excluded before scoring — the way the publisher's own check does it.
Indexed journals, conference proceedings, patents, and ETD theses — not a student-submission database. The same scholarly index your manuscript will be measured against on the editor's desk.
A senior editor reads every report before it leaves. If the score looks wrong — say a self-citation overweighted the number — we add a one-line note on the cover or re-run before billing.
Drop your manuscript. Pick the page slab. Submit. Takes a minute.
Price appears the moment you pick the slab. One payment, one queue, one confirmation email.
PDF report, sent to the email on file. Cover page, sources overview, page-by-page breakdown. ETA emailed when our editor opens the file.
Got a question on a matched source — or a flagged self-citation? Reply to the report email. A senior editor reads it. No additional fee for clarifications.
If your manuscript also needs to match the journal's house style — page setup, headings, IEEE / Vancouver / APA references — see Document Formatting. Same desk, journal templates already on file. If the similarity comes back high, we'll point you to Plagiarism Removal — manual paraphrasing, no software. The check itself never auto-converts. That's your call.
For a Springer Nature submission I needed an iThenticate-style report ahead of the editor's desk check. Got it back in nineteen minutes, with the bibliography correctly excluded and a one-line note about a self-citation. The editor accepted it at face value.
I had three Elsevier manuscripts go through pre-submission checks here over a year. Each report came with the sources overview my journal editor expected. Twice I caught self-similarity from my own thesis I would have missed.
IEEE Xplore is brutal on conference paper duplicates from earlier proceedings. This report flagged a paragraph I had reused from my 2022 ICASSP submission. Saved me a desk-rejection.
Honest reading. They told me my similarity was 7% — well within Wiley's threshold — and that I didn't need their paraphrasing service. I will use them again for that reason alone.
Submitted at midnight for a Taylor & Francis special-issue deadline. Report at 12:24 AM with sources overview. The cover note pointed out two citations I had forgotten to enclose in quotation marks. Resubmitted clean.
Our research office sends batch checks for every postdoc manuscript before journal submission now. Two years running. SLAs hold even during conference season. Their phone actually picks up.
Yes — the cover page, sources overview, and page-by-page breakdown match the format journal desks see every day. Editors at Springer, Elsevier, IEEE, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, and MDPI all use a check of this kind on receipt; the report we deliver mirrors what they will be looking at, with the same exclusion conventions for quotations, references, and equations. If your editor returns a request to re-run, we will do it free of charge.
It depends on whether your earlier work was deposited in an indexed thesis database (Shodhganga, ProQuest, DART-Europe). If it was, yes — the paragraph will match. This is by design; the editor's desk will see the same match. We add a one-line cover note when the highest-matching source is your own earlier work, so the desk knows it is self-citation, not external plagiarism. You can then either rephrase or add an explicit citation to the earlier work.
Most reports are delivered in 15 to 30 minutes from payment. The check itself runs against a much larger index than a standard plagiarism check, so it takes a few minutes longer than the Plagiarism Check service. The moment our editor opens your file we will email you the ETA — usually well within that window. During journal-deadline season (typically the last week of each month) the queue runs longer; we will tell you before you wonder.
No. Your manuscript is checked against the global scholarly index but is never added to it. We do not archive submissions, never share files with third parties, and delete the document from our servers within 30 days of report delivery. The report itself stays in your account for as long as you keep it. This is the single most-asked question by faculty preparing for journal submission, and the answer is the same it has been since 2013.
Three things. (1) A cover page with the overall similarity percentage and the top matched sources, formatted the way a journal editor expects to read it. (2) A sources overview — the full list of matches by publisher, journal, or proceedings, with the percentage each contributes. (3) Page-by-page highlighting with each matched passage cited inline. Quotations, references, equations, and figure captions are excluded before scoring. You will also get a one-line editorial note from the senior editor who reviewed the file before send.
Yes. The submission form takes the corresponding author's email — that is where the report goes. We do not contact co-authors, do not retain co-author details beyond the report header, and the report itself can be forwarded freely. If your journal requires the report to be uploaded as a supplementary file at submission, the PDF we deliver is in the format they accept.
You have three options. (1) Rewrite the flagged sections yourself using the page-by-page breakdown — most authors do this. (2) Use our Plagiarism Removal service — manual paraphrasing by PhD editors, no software, usually returned within a day, with the meaning and citations preserved. (3) Submit as-is if the matches are mostly methods boilerplate or self-citation that the editor will recognise. We will not auto-convert your check into a removal — the choice is yours.
