How can I remove plagiarism from my work?

Removing plagiarism isn't about hiding matches - it's about rewriting your work so that all borrowed material is clearly credited and genuinely your own.

To reduce or remove plagiarism:

• Quote and cite properly. Use quotation marks and full references when copying someone's exact words.
• Paraphrase correctly. Rewrite ideas in your own words rather than swapping a few terms.
• Add your own analysis. Show understanding by explaining or evaluating what you've read.
• Reference all sources. Include every book, article, or website you used.
• Re-scan your work. After revising, run a new plagiarism check to confirm the changes.

Plagiarism detection should be part of your editing process - not the last step before submission.
