1. Select a Plagiarism Checker:

You now need to pick an appropriate plagiarism checking software tool. Some of the options you will find include Turnitin, Grammarly, Copyscape, and Plagscan among others. Features promised by each one differs greatly: some offer full report options, while others can only make basic checks. Consider whether or not you want a free version or whether you would pay for a premium subscription that has more advanced capabilities.

2. Get Your Document Ready:

After you have settled on your choice of plagiarism checker, you can prepare your document for submission. This will involve some text editing and possibly reshaping your work to a compatible format. Most tools accept formats like .docx, .pdf, or .txt. It’s also a good time to review the clarity and coherence of your document, so it will produce even more satisfactory results when it runs the check.

3. Upload Or Copy-Paste the Text:

Now, upload your prepared document to the plagiarism checker. Most tools are designed with easy interfaces where you either upload files directly from your computer or copy the text from your document and paste it into the text box of the tool. Therefore, you use whatever suits you best.

4. Run the check:

Now that you have your text set, the second action would be to start checking for plagiarism. Locate a button that says “Check,” “Scan,” or “Analyze.” The moment you click the button, the tool will match your text against its massive database with sources in academic papers, articles, and web content.

5. Scan the Report:

You will get a plagiarism report after scanning. A plagiarism report indicates areas where your content has similarities with other sources. It can also provide links or references so you can see in what ways they are similar. If compared, you can see how far the extent of possible plagiarism is.

6. Revise:

Take some time to go through the report and make amendments on highlighted areas. Paraphrase or quote the areas clearly, while at the same time ensuring that you point out all your sources. This is an important aspect of maintaining academic integrity and at the same time striving to improve your writing skills.

7. Submission of Your Paper:

Only when you are confident that your work is genuine and of the right caliber do you approach your mentor or instructor to submit it. You will be confident to submit a piece of work when you have gone to an extent to ensure that its authenticity holds water.
