Identify the percentage of similarity of writing with any other resource on the internet and academic sources, including universities and data banks.

A plagiarism detector can help determine how similar writing is to other resources on the web and in academic sources such as universities or data banks. Software tools used to check for plagiarism include plagiarism checkers that can compare the text of webpages with a large database including journals, books, and other content. This software allows users to identify areas where phrases or words have been borrowed from other sources without proper attribution. These results can range from zero for 100% original work to 100% for exactly matching works found elsewhere.

It is essential to be familiar with how these tools work. Also, it helps to know what resources are searched when they verify plagiarized material. The majority of plagiarism scanners scan online databases and university libraries to find instances where there is copied material. To be used with these programs, users must submit full texts to be checked in order for them to match it against an extensive database.

Not all plagiarism checks are accurate. It is best to check for possible issues using multiple tools. The programs are not able to replace human judgment in determining the similarity of texts. However, they can provide useful information about how similar passages look but should not be used as a substitute for human judgment.⁽¹⁾. Utilizing one or more trusted plagiarism detection services can help to ensure that written works are correctly attributed and do not suffer from accidental copyright infringement.⁽²⁾.
