Plagiarism Check
What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism refers to representing another author’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one’s original work. While there is no standard definition for plagiarism and in the educational context its meaning differs depending on the institution, plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and journalistic ethics by all.

What are the types of plagiarism?

Plagiarism covers a range of cases, from accidental and unintentional copying to deliberate theft. Some of the most popular forms of plagiarism are copy-pasting, word-for-word usage of another’s work without citation, and plagiarism by copy and pasting words and simply changing only a few words. Well known types of plagiarism are:

1.Global Plagiarism refers to the act of passing off another’s work as your own.

2.Verbal plagiarism refers to the act of directly copying another’s words.

3.Essentially, Paraphrasing plagiarism is rephrasing someone else’s ideas so that they appear as your own.

4.The term Patchwork plagiarism refers to the practice of combining excerpts from different sources to form your own text.

Self-plagiarism: Publishing a part of your previous article as a new article is self-plagiarism. Because in this type of plagiarism, the person committing plagiarism has knowingly used his own previously printed text, the crime is much heavier. Therefore, one must refrain from including even a small part of the previous articles in the new article.

How to identify plagiarism?

Various software programs are available to detect and investigate plagiarism, some of which are online and free, while others charge a certain fee, usually between ten and one hundred dollars for each article.

The most important plagiarism detection software are as follows:

Free software to investigate plagiarism

The biggest weakness of the free software is its restricted access to resources to compare and detect similarities and plagiarism. In addition, free software compares your article only with free resources and articles available in cyberspace and does not compare your article with the huge and reputable databases of major publishers. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of free software at all.

Paid software plagiarism investigation

Among the paid software, iThenticate is undoubtedly the best software for checking the percentage of plagiarism, with access to information from more than 530 major publishers globally, 90,000 major journals through Cross Check, dissertations through ProQuest, and other scientific information sources. At UMR, we undertake plagiarism check using iThenticate.

The ability of this software to conduct such an in-depth analysis has led the world’s major publishers, including Elsevier, Springer, Wiley Blackwell, and Nature, which publish more than 90 percent of the world’s scientific journals, to use the iThenticate software to verify the authenticity or the possibility of plagiarism of the manuscripts submitted to them.

What percentage of plagiarism is allowed? What are the differences between plagiarism and the similarity of articles?

Before answering these questions, we need to know the difference between plagiarism and the similarity of articles. Similarity is when we use keywords, specialized words, materials and methods, specific names that have already been used frequently in published articles. Here, the software recognizes these items and calculates them as similar. However, if this number of same words in a row is more than three words, or the written sequence of your article is like that of other articles, the software will calculate these words as plagiarism.

UMR offers two services related to plagiarism:

Plagiarism check only

In this, we check the manuscript with iThenticate and send you the result.

Plagiarism check + paraphrasing and editing.

Paraphrasing
In general, it can be said that most journals consider the similarity between articles of up to about 15-20% to be acceptable, provided that each of the minor similarities is less than 2%. However, it should be noted that even a small percent of plagiarism is unacceptable and causes a quick rejection of the article even before judging.

How to fix plagiarism?

Paraphrasing, re-wording, and rewriting can be used to eliminate plagiarism.

To do this correctly, you must first read the sentences carefully and then, without copying them, write the new sentence in such a way that its scientific meaning does not change. The impossibility of changing specialized terms makes rewriting articles a complicated affair. In addition to mastering English, the editor must simultaneously know the keywords and specific terminology.

Step 2: To eliminate the problem of plagiarism, it is necessary to determine the sections of your manuscript with a similarity of more than 2%. There parts need to be carefully rewritten.

In the plagiarism report, various colors are used to highlight portions of the manuscript that contain plagiarism. Each color represents a specific source or paper from which the text was copied and pasted. The overall similarity of your manuscript should be less than 20%. With regards to each source or paper shown in the plagiarism report, the similarity between that document and your paper should not be more than 1-2% similarity.
