check-originality

From the author

Checks a draft for plagiarism, self-plagiarism, text recycling, and uncited near-quotes using several detection methods, and reports overlapping passages so the author can fix them before reviewers or an integrity check do. Use when a researcher says "check for plagiarism", "plagiarism check", "did I copy too much", "self-plagiarism", "text recycling", "am I reusing too much of my own paper", "check originality", "is this too close to the source", or "did I paraphrase closely enough". Compares the draft against sources the user provides (their own prior papers, co-author drafts, suspected sources, or papers fetched on demand), detects internal duplication, and surfaces distinctive phrases to search externally. Honest about scope - it is not iThenticate/Turnitin and has no private publisher corpus; it catches overlap against given sources and publicly findable phrases. Trigger words - plagiarism, self-plagiarism, text recycling, originality, copied, overlap, too close to source, duplicate text.
