The Plagiarism Finder is a tool for ensuring quality.
This tool evaluates the uniqueness of text created in the Content Editor by determining how much of it can also be found on other websites. It compares the text with those on websites that rank for similar topics on Google and categorizes similarities into three groups.
If 51 to 100 percent of your text matches content from other top-ranking websites, it is considered a severe duplication.
The Plagiarism Finder highlights this in red. For similarities between 6 and 50 percent, it shows a yellow warning for less severe duplicates. If similarities are 5 percent or less, the software indicates no significant plagiarism. Plagiarism may occur when external content is copied or when text from your own site is replicated elsewhere.
Plagiarism on a website can negatively impact its performance. Unique content, with minimal similarity to external texts, enhances the likelihood of achieving a better ranking. Therefore, checking for plagiarism is crucial to minimize external influence and create original content.
Plagiarism involves presenting someone else's intellectual property as your own, claiming sole creation of a work that includes external elements. This can involve using external texts, media like photos or videos, inventions, or melodies without acknowledging third-party ownership, thus violating copyright laws. The term "plagiarism" originates from the Latin "plagiārius," meaning "kidnapper" or "soul seller."
In academia, plagiarism is sometimes prevalent in university research. Final papers, such as dissertations, master’s theses, or bachelor theses, may contain plagiarized content or unattributed quotes due to time constraints. Many online services now provide plagiarism checkers to quickly and reliably verify documents.
