Source Overlap & Attribution Checker
Unlike a database plagiarism checker, this source-overlap and attribution checker compares your draft only with source text or earlier work you paste. It finds exact phrase overlap and supports attribution and prior-work review, but it cannot determine plagiarism.
Compare a draft with source text, notes, or earlier work you paste, then review exact phrase overlap and attribution risks before submission. This browser-based check does not scan the internet, journals, or proprietary databases. Use it as a planning or review aid, then choose a defined paid review when your prompt, rubric, formatting, or citations need deeper attention.

FAQ
Questions about this tool
Does this checker scan the internet or academic databases?
No. It compares your draft only with the source text, notes, or earlier work you paste. A full web or publisher-corpus scan requires a licensed external database.
Can this determine whether plagiarism occurred?
No. Text overlap is not a plagiarism verdict, and a low overlap result is not a guarantee. Review matched passages, quotations, paraphrases, and citations against your instructor's policy.
Can I use it to check self-plagiarism?
Yes. Paste the current draft and your earlier paper as the comparison text. The report will identify exact phrase overlap that may need rewriting, quotation, citation, or instructor approval.
Does Academic Wizard store the text I paste?
No. The comparison runs in your browser. Academic Wizard only receives a result if you intentionally email/save it or start an order.
