How Does Urkund Check for Plagiarism?

No, Urkund cannot properly identify text that has been paraphrased using QuillBot because it focuses mainly on detecting copy-paste plagiarism and could find it difficult to recognize changes in sentence structure made by AI paraphrasing tools such as QuillBot.

No, Urkund is not designed to specifically detect paraphrased text from tools like QuillBot. Urkund primarily focuses on detecting direct copy-paste plagiarism by comparing submitted documents with a vast database of online content.

Urkund is designed to utilize a wide database hence is able to detect matches accurately. It inputs from different LMSs making it easy to use for both students and their tutors. But just like any plagiarism detection software Urkund may report some properly cited references as being plagiarized.

To minimize the chances of being accused of plagiarism, it is essential to make sure all sources are properly cited and referenced. Use paraphrasing techniques rather than copying word-for-word. Enclose direct quotes within quotation marks. There is no concrete least percentage that everyone agrees is acceptable, it fluctuates depending on institutional policies. It is advisable to strive for the least rate of similarity that signifies original writing.

Document uploading methods in Urkund vary by institution. E-mail you the paper directly to the Urkund analysis address supplied by your institution. You can also upload through the Submit your Assignment feature if your institution has a Learning Management System integrated with Urkund.
