Use phrase matching as one originality check

This browser-based tool reviews phrases and possible duplication patterns. It does not search the entire live web, subscription journals, private academic databases, or institutional submission archives.

What this tool can help with

  • Flags phrases that deserve a closer manual review.
  • Helps you identify wording that may need a citation or rewrite.
  • Provides a starting point for an originality checklist.

Important limitations

  • No result can guarantee that a document is plagiarism-free.
  • Source coverage is not comparable to licensed academic databases.
  • A matching common phrase does not automatically mean plagiarism occurred.

A reliable three-step workflow

  1. 1. Add a useful sample. Use enough context for the result to be meaningful, but do not submit private or confidential information.
  2. 2. Compare the result. Keep the original visible and review changes, scores, or suggestions one at a time.
  3. 3. Verify before use. Check facts, names, numbers, meaning, sources, and any rules that apply to your work.
