What Should You Review?

Similarity vs. Plagiarism: What Is the Difference?
Textual similarity describes matches between texts. Determining whether plagiarism has occurred requires assessing how ideas or wording have been used and attributed. The two concepts are related, but they are not interchangeable.

A Similarity Percentage Is Not a Plagiarism Verdict
A report may highlight quotations, common expressions, legislative text or properly attributed passages. The overall percentage must therefore be reviewed alongside the sources and passages that contributed to it.
Interpreting Matches in Context
A thorough academic assessment examines the context of each match, rather than relying solely on the overall score. A Similarity Report is an analytical tool that supports this review. It is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute an official determination of plagiarism or an automatic judgment about the author's conduct.
