The same originality report your journal editor will run — delivered to your inbox before you submit.

It depends on whether your earlier work was deposited in an indexed thesis database (Shodhganga, ProQuest, DART-Europe). If it was, yes — the paragraph will match. This is by design; the editor's desk will see the same match. We add a one-line cover note when the highest-matching source is your own earlier work, so the desk knows it is self-citation, not external plagiarism. You can then either rephrase or add an explicit citation to the earlier work.

Most reports are delivered in 15 to 30 minutes from payment. The check itself runs against a much larger index than a standard plagiarism check, so it takes a few minutes longer than the Plagiarism Check service. The moment our editor opens your file we will email you the ETA — usually well within that window. During journal-deadline season (typically the last week of each month) the queue runs longer; we will tell you before you wonder.

No. Your manuscript is checked against the global scholarly index but is never added to it. We do not archive submissions, never share files with third parties, and delete the document from our servers within 30 days of report delivery. The report itself stays in your account for as long as you keep it. This is the single most-asked question by faculty preparing for journal submission, and the answer is the same it has been since 2013.

Three things. (1) A cover page with the overall similarity percentage and the top matched sources, formatted the way a journal editor expects to read it. (2) A sources overview — the full list of matches by publisher, journal, or proceedings, with the percentage each contributes. (3) Page-by-page highlighting with each matched passage cited inline. Quotations and references, equations, and figure captions are excluded before scoring. You will also get a one-line editorial note from the senior editor who reviewed the file before send.

Yes. The submission form takes the corresponding author's email — that is where the report goes. We do not contact co-authors, do not retain co-author details beyond the report header, and the report itself can be forwarded freely. If your journal requires the report to be uploaded as a supplementary file at submission, the PDF we deliver is in the format they accept.

You have three options. (1) Rewrite the flagged sections yourself using the page-by-page breakdown — most authors do this. (2) Use our Paraphrasing & Editing service — manual rewriting for originality by PhD editors, no software, usually returned within a day, with the meaning and citations preserved. (3) Submit as-is if the matches are mostly methods boilerplate or self-citation that the editor will recognise. We will not auto-convert your check into editing work — the choice is yours.
