Plagiarism Checkers

(Below are just a few of many online methods available that have been set up to check for plagiarism.)

http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/ - Plagiarism checker - "To use this plagiarism checker, copy and paste your content in the large white box, enter the "Captcha Code" (the numbers and letters that you are supposed to identify and type into a box to prove that it is a human being using the site), and then click on the big green button that says “Check for plagiarism!”

- How the Plagiarism Check Tool Works: The article you entered is scanned carefully, and so is the world wide web. It’s very likely you’ll see some red in your results as common phrases may trigger red flags. If there are complete sentences that aren’t original, this tool will identify the original source of any unoriginal or plagiarized content that was copied from the internet."
