Using PlagTracker to Make Sure Your Writing is Unique
By on October 4th, 2012

Why would you need to use a plagiarism checker service?

Considering today’s writing technology, it’s only logical that a writer might be interested in protecting their written work by making sure that the content is completely plagiarism-free. PlagTracker uses an original algorithm that checks any given content for plagiarism. The site is fast, easy to use and free.

Any writer, student, teacher, or website owner who wants to be certain that his/her work is unique, can truly benefit from this software. The students can use it to double-check their essay writings and other assignments for unintentional plagiarism of over 5% in the plagiarism index. Instructors and publishers can benefit by uncovering subtle and hidden plagiarism that come from modifications made by replacing words with their synonyms and other alterations which are often missed by less sophisticated searches.

How PlagTracker Works?

The process of scanning for plagiarism is done in three simple steps. The first step is uploading the paper, or just copying the content into the given text box. Next the site will scan the writing against 14 billion web pages and 5 million academic papers from different university databases. Finally, you’ll receive a complete plagiarism report with a rate that shows how much of the work is plagiarized, a list of the sources of plagiarism, and highlighted portions to point out the plagiarized content.

For those who want to use the software for free, there’s a 5000 word limit to the size of the paper that can be uploaded, so it wouldn’t be a problem in most cases. On the other hand, those who have a Premium account can upload an unlimited amount of words and papers in .doc or .txt files. Their writing is additionally checked through their Publication Database, and they are able to exclude the list of references from their written work to get more accurate information. They’ll also have highest priority and get 3 times faster checking speed than the basic free users.

When the writing is finished scanning, a full plagiarism report is delivered. The report contains all the important information the writer needs. There’s a percentage of non-unique content present in the uploaded paper, number and links to the sources of plagiarism, and highlighted plagiarized parts of the text for easier access. By clicking on a particular source the writer is able to see all the sentences used from that source. The software is friendly, fast and very easy to use. There’s also a new feature for checking the writing for grammar errors.

It is essential for any type of writing to be unique and original. Plagiarism is considered a serious offence everywhere, even if it was unintentional. College and university students can fail on their assignment, lose their privileges, face academic probation, or even be expelled because of plagiarized work.  In more serious cases, plagarism can result in lawsuits, criminal charges or even imprisonment. For those who don’t want to take a risk on this important issue, the PlagTracker is a good solution.
