Plagiarism means copying someone’s work and making it look like you are the original author. It is a type of copyright infringement, and many institutions, especially educational settings, frown at it.

Plagiarism is a punishable offense with someone that has taken another person’s work. Educational institutions and publishers alike try to do what they can to prevent plagiarized work from being published.

Trying to check a writer’s work manually to see if it contains plagiarized content can be time-consuming and it hardly works out. This is why using tools to check plagiarism is quite important.

The plagiarism checker software is needed by anyone who engages in writing such as teachers, students, writers and business entrepreneurs. The software helps you find out whether the content is duplicated from other sources or written originally.

What Should You Look Out for in a Good Plagiarism Checker Tool?

There is so much plagiarism checker software available in the market; however, not all of them can be relied upon for quality checks. Some may be slow and unable to detect much similarity between the original content and duplicated work.

There are features you should watch out for as you make your choice of the plagiarism checker software.

I would never have thought of this Israel. I just assumed if I'm writing my own content that I wouldn't need something like this.

So, are you saying that even if I write my own content to double check still with a separate software e.g. Grammarly?

I really appreciate the training.

Exactly, Louise! Even if you originally wrote the article yourself, you still must run plagiarism checks thoroughly before hitting the Publish button; otherwise, you'll risk your site of getting penalized for duplicate content by Google. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you, Israel

I use Grammarly and it is very useful. I tried duplichecker, but ran back to Grammarly.

Writing content without a robust plagiarism checker is not the best
