The Unplag online plagiarism detection engine is created for teachers or professors to check students’ papers for possible duplications. Particularly, the “Doc vs My Library” option scans a paper against all the files you store in the personal account. To check one-page text takes only 4 seconds, enabling you to scan a huge amount of papers, saving your time for other tasks.

To run plagiarism scans accurately, Unplag uses indexed web-pages in Yahoo and Google. That allows you to find all the original sources used by possible cheaters across billion web pages and documents.

To start using the tool, create a personal account by filling out a brief registration form.  Once registered, access your account and check unlimited number of words for free to make sure Unplag fits your needs.

Here is a step-by-step guide to check student papers for plagiarism with Unplag.

Step 1:  Enter your email address and password to access your account.

First click the “Log in” button in the right top corner of the website and then enter your email address and password.

Step 2:  Upload a student’s paper in the file format most convenient for you.

After logging in, you find yourself in your personal  account where all submitted and scanned student papers are. In your account you can also see how many texts were checked, dates when they were uploaded, their originality and similarity percentage, and the number of plagiarized sources.

To scan student papers, either copy and paste the text into the appropriate box or upload documents in .doc, .docx, .pdf, or .odt file formats.

Step 3:  Choose any type of scan offered by Unplag.

  • Select “Doc vs Doc” check if you want to scan a student’s paper against a previously submitted one;
  • Upload texts used by cheaters to your database and scan newly remitted student papers against your personal database (“Doc vs My Files” check);
  • Detect all plagiarized sources used by students by clicking “Doc vs Internet” to compare and identify even the slightest similarities among the uploaded papers and billions of pages and documents across the Internet.

In addition, you can scan several documents simultaneously in background mode without a glitch or decrease in the speed.

Step 4: Download an automatically generated report or send it from your account straight to your students' emails.

Once you complete the checks, you will get similarity reports, which cover all the duplicated sources. All the results are neatly displayed.  Click on the original source link and the plagiarized text is highlighted.  No need spending hours searching for this paragraph or sentence lifted from the whole original source web page. You can easily see text in the smallest font, even at the very bottom of the site.

Plagiarism reports may also be downloaded in .pdf format for offline use. You may also send a report to your students' or colleagues' email addresses. To send the plagiarism report just enter a student’s email and send the report without logging out of your account.

Unplag offers three different subscription plans: one month, three months or a full year.  Do you want more details about the Unplag tool? Just query the dedicated support team who work 40 hours a week. They will gladly help you in a timely manner.
