Great Tool For Checking Plagrithm: Copyscape

This tool has helped me find plagiarism in my work, which was very helpful to know that what I am writing isn't just copy pasted from other sources. It helps keep you aware of your own mistakes as well. There are some features that could be improved but overall it's been great for finding duplicated text within an article or document. The ability to see where there might have been any copying without actually having access to the original source material would also help improve this product even further! We use Copyscape daily at our office to make sure we're not using others' words/ideas when creating new articles. In addition, with all these different tools available nowadays (Copyscape included), many writers feel more comfortable knowing their ideas aren't being stolen than they did before. Also, if someone else writes something similar to yours, then chances are.

Pros
  • The ability to enter a word, sentence or even an entire paragraph and have it find any copied passages in other places
Cons
  • I think it is very easy to accidentally click the wrong thing in the box of the copy of the text I'm comparing it against.
  • If the text I'm searching for (a portion of a website/book) is long enough, I have to scroll the screen to continue
