If your report shows similarity above 10%, we'll point you to Plagiarism Removal — manual paraphrasing by PhD editors, usually returned within a day. No software. No tricks. The check itself never auto-converts to a removal — that's your call.
Yes, it can. Turnitin, iThenticate and Drillbit keep adding newly submitted student work, journal articles and newly indexed web pages to their databases. A report is a snapshot of that database at the moment of the check, so the same document checked again later can come back with a different score — even though the document itself has not changed. This is normal and is not an error in the report.
Turnitin is an industry-standard tool that checks your document for textual similarity against a large database of published journals, web pages, books, and previously submitted student work. It produces a similarity report that shows which parts of your document match existing sources and by how much. A plagiarism check helps you identify problem areas before submitting your work to your university or journal, giving you the opportunity to revise and improve originality before the official submission.
Turnitin is a widely used international plagiarism detection tool preferred by most global universities, research institutions, and academic journals. It has an extensive database of academic publications and web sources. Drillbit is a plagiarism detection tool more commonly mandated by Indian universities and institutions. Both tools check for textual similarity, but their databases and usage vary. The choice of tool depends on which one your university or journal specifically requires. We provide reports from both platforms based on your requirement.
Submit your document on our website at https://www.researchexperts.in/plagiarism-check/ or in the Research Experts mobile app — those are the two routes that create your order automatically, so it starts processing straight away. Upload your file, choose whether you need a Turnitin or a DrillBit report, and set your deadline. You can also send the file to us on WhatsApp or by email if you prefer, but a counsellor has to set that up manually, so it is slower — the site and the app are quicker.
Plagiarism reports are typically delivered within a few minutes to a few hours, depending on document size and current workload. Larger documents may take slightly longer. For urgent requests, you can contact our team for priority handling. We confirm the delivery timeline at the time of submission.
No. We use non-repository settings, which means your document is not saved in the Turnitin database and will not be used for future comparisons. Your file is handled securely and deleted from our systems within 2 to 3 days after the report is delivered. This protects your work from future false matches.
The similarity index is a percentage that shows how much of your document's text matches content found in Turnitin's database. A higher percentage indicates more overlap with existing sources. However, not all similarity is problematic — properly cited quotes and references will also appear in the report. What matters is how your institution interprets the result. We can help you understand your report and identify which sections need attention.
Turnitin uses color coding to indicate the similarity percentage at a glance: Blue (0%) means no matching text was found. Green (1–24%) indicates a low similarity level, generally acceptable. Yellow (25–49%) suggests moderate similarity that may need review. Orange (50–74%) indicates high similarity and likely requires revision. Red (75–100%) means very high similarity, which almost always needs significant rewriting. These are general guidelines — your university or journal may have a different acceptable threshold. Always confirm the required limit with your supervisor before submitting.
Most universities accept a similarity level below 10% to 15%, though this varies by institution, department, and document type. Some universities are more lenient with theses and dissertations due to mandatory inclusion of citations and standard academic phrasing. It is always best to confirm the acceptable limit with your supervisor, guide, or academic department before submitting.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, we strongly recommend getting a plagiarism check done before your official university submission. This allows you to identify and correct any similarity issues in advance, giving you the best chance of meeting your institution's requirements. It is a proactive step that can prevent rejection or required revisions after submission.
Yes. If your previously submitted work has been added to the Turnitin database, it can match against your new document and appear as similarity. This is known as self-plagiarism — reusing your own earlier work without proper acknowledgment. If you are reusing sections from previous papers or reports, we recommend properly citing the earlier work or rewriting those sections to reduce similarity.
Yes. Turnitin now includes an AI detection feature in addition to its traditional similarity check. These are two separate analyses — one shows similarity with existing sources, and the other estimates the likelihood of AI-generated content. Both results are shown in the same report. If your AI score is high, you may need our AI Reduction service in addition to or instead of plagiarism removal.
You can share the report or a screenshot with our team. We will help you understand the specific matches — including whether they are citations, common phrases, or genuinely problematic content. If you believe the report is incorrect or misidentified, we can explain the possible reasons. For disputes with your institution, you can refer to the acceptable matches (like properly cited sources) and present your case to your supervisor or department.
False positives are similarity matches that appear in the report but are not actual plagiarism — for example, properly cited quotes, reference lists, university cover page templates, or commonly used academic phrases. These matches are generally acceptable. We help you review your report and distinguish between genuine problem areas and acceptable similarity. Turnitin's exclusion settings can also help filter out references and quoted text from the similarity percentage.
We accept DOC, DOCX, and PDF formats for plagiarism checking. Note that the PDF must be text-based and not a scanned or image-based file, as Turnitin cannot process image-based content. For best results, DOCX format is recommended. If you are unsure about your file format, contact our team before submitting.
Yes. After making changes to reduce similarity, you can resubmit your updated document for a fresh plagiarism check. Each submission is treated as a separate request and may involve an additional fee. This helps you track your improvement and ensure the similarity level is within the acceptable range before final submission.
Yes, properly cited content can still appear in the similarity report because Turnitin detects textual overlap regardless of citation. However, institutions generally consider correctly cited matches acceptable. Turnitin also offers exclusion settings for references and quoted text, which can help lower the reported percentage. We can advise you on which matches are acceptable and which genuinely need rewriting.
A high similarity score means a significant portion of your document matches existing sources and likely requires revision. Depending on your institution's threshold, it may lead to rejection or a request for major changes. In this case, our Plagiarism Removal service can help. We will manually rewrite the flagged sections to reduce similarity while preserving your original meaning and academic integrity. You can then resubmit a fresh check to verify the improvement.
Yes. We convert the LaTeX file into a suitable format for plagiarism checking and generate the Turnitin report. The report reflects the similarity level of the compiled textual content. This helps you verify the current state of your document before or after the plagiarism removal process.
No. Tools like Turnitin analyze editable text only. Content embedded within images, scanned figures, or image-based tables is not processed. However, if the same content exists elsewhere in text form — for example, in the body of the document — it may still be detected there. For this reason, always ensure that important text is in editable format rather than embedded in images.
No. We use non-repository settings when running plagiarism checks, which means your document is not stored in the Turnitin database and will not be compared against future submissions by other users. This protects your work from being flagged in subsequent submissions of the same content.
