Eight habits that keep your papers original and reviewer-ready.
- 1
Understand, then write
Read the source, close it, and write the idea in your own words from memory. Copying while looking at the text is how most accidental plagiarism happens.
- 2
Paraphrase properly
Change both the sentence structure and the wording — not just a few synonyms. Then still cite the source: a paraphrase without a citation is still plagiarism.
- 3
Cite every borrowed idea
Any fact, statistic, figure or claim that isn't your own or common knowledge needs a reference (AMA / Vancouver style for most medical journals).
- 4
Quote sparingly and mark it
When exact wording matters, use quotation marks and cite the page. Keep direct quotes short — reviewers expect analysis in your own voice.
- 5
Avoid self-plagiarism
Reusing your own previously published text without citing it counts as plagiarism too. Cite your earlier papers just like any other source.
- 6
Track sources as you go
Use a reference manager (Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote) from the first draft so every borrowed idea already has its citation attached.
- 7
Attribute figures and tables
Don't reuse copyrighted figures or tables without permission and credit. Redraw or recreate data with a clear source line.
- 8
Run the official checker last
Before you submit, run your institution's licensed tool (Turnitin / iThenticate). This page helps you clean up first — it is not a substitute for that database check.
Educational tool only. The AI assessment is a heuristic guide, not a database match, and does not guarantee your work will pass any institutional plagiarism checker. Your drafts are sent to the AI provider only when you press “Check” or “Rewrite”; the source-comparison runs entirely in your browser.
