There is no need to distort facts and spoil the content.
Matches on common names, dates, terms, stable phrases, keywords, etc., which are necessary for the text to reveal the topic / are required by the assignment and which cannot be replaced with other words with the same meaning, are permissible. The customer should take this into account when drawing up the assignment and set adequate requirements for uniqueness. To the author — more carefully learn the assignment and not accept it if the requirements are not feasible.
Long nonunique, literally matching fragments, big fragments of superficial rewriting, etc. are unacceptable.
The method of copied content detection (w-shingling, with a shingle size of, for example, 3) means looking for similarity by 3 contiguous words, meaning not only should the words be the same, but so should their sequence.
If your article has almost no matches of three-word shingles, the method of copied content detection will find nothing.
As for the rewriting detection method, it’s based not on shingles. This method takes into consideration the fact that the word order or word endings may be changed. This is how it detects instances of rewriting (the same article may be unique according to w-shingling).
Yes, they can. Any plagiarism and rewriting checker is just a tool, and the use of third-party software products is allowed. The results obtained must be correct. The results of any plagiarism and rewriting detection software need to be analyzed (see the highlighted text fragments and links, follow the links and see the articles they lead to and compare them with what you have – occasionally, plagiarism and rewriting checkers give false results).
Starting November 16, 2015, all articles inside orders and offered in the article store (whether rewriting or copywriting) are checked for plagiarism using the method of rewriting detection. You need to check your articles using this method, too.
A screenshot of the settings to be used in the downloaded version of Antiplagiarism:
Too much identical content or a high concentration of identical text fragments at one address may be indicative of shallow rewriting.
Download it, install it on your computer and start it. To check an article for plagiarism, copy and paste it into the Editor textbox and press Check for Plagiarism. In the log in the lower field, you’ll see the percentage of copied content for each website the content has been taken from. Similar text fragments will be highlighted in color. To find out the percentage of similar content for a specific website, click …% of Similar Content Is Found in the log.
To check another article for plagiarism, click Erase and then copy and paste the next article into the plagiarism checker.
Each color means the source from where the content has been taken (next to the link to the corresponding website is a rectangle in the same color). The more sources are found, the more colors are used to highlight copied content. All colors but yellow are selected randomly. Yellow means that similar content has been found on multiple sources.
No, everything’s working. The program starts checking for plagiarism right after you click Check for Plagiarism. To view the report with detailed information on plagiarism checking, click Operations/Settings and then click on the Report tab at the top of the page.
The process of plagiarism detection is impacted by the following two parameters:
Settings / Other / Timeout Period for Uploading One Page – the slower the Internet connection, the greater this parameter should be (ideally, there should be no messages in the log that the page couldn’t be uploaded because the timeout period has expired)
Settings / Other / Maximum Number of Simultaneous Uploads – the slower the Internet connection, the fewer uploads should be (as little as 1-3 uploads)
Also, you can try to change the following settings:
Settings / Other / Timeout Period for Uploading One Page – set it to 180
Settings / Other / Minimum Time Interval Between Successive Requests – make it 2 seconds
Settings / Download / Use an Alternative Download Method – check
To view more detailed information about the process of plagiarism detection, check Settings / Report / Show Detailed Information in the Log (you’ll see the total number of errors, downloaded pages, etc. in the last but one line of the report)
Some pages can’t be uploaded for reasons that are beyond your control. These include a slow Internet connection speed, torrenting, overloaded servers from which the pages are being downloaded, etc. This happens rather often and to multiple users.
As for the fact that 90% of the messages are error messages, the log doesn’t show successful uploads by default. If you want, you can enable such logging. That way, the log will show all messages (Settings / Report / Show Detailed Information in the Log…)
To begin with, make sure you’ve checked Settings / Download / Use an Alternative Download Method. Perhaps, it has to do with the search engine blocking the requests (especially if it’s Yandex).
Enable detailed logging – Settings / Report / Show Detailed Information about the Checking Process in the Log. Start checking for plagiarism. If there are multiple errors in the log ( / messages about blocking the requests) from a specific search engine, it needs to be disabled temporarily in the Settings.
Also, you may increase the minimum time interval between successive requests (Settings / Other / Minimum Time Interval Between Successive Requests) to, let’s say, 10 (the more the better but also the slower), to reduce the load on the search engines. Also, click Settings / Other / Maximum Number of Attempts to Make Requests to Search Engines and make it 3 (for the same reason).
When you change search engines in the Settings, start checking for plagiarism by pressing Check for Plagiarism (a list of search engines is preset in a deep check).
Your IP has been banned by one of the search engines (probably Yandex, Rambler). If that’s the case, disable the search engine while checking for plagiarism. You need to wait and avoid using programs generating automatic requests to the search engine (including various SEO plugins for the browser) or, if possible, use a quality proxy server. To lower the risk of lockouts, increase the minimum time interval between successive requests (Settings / Other / Minimum Time Interval Between Successive Requests) to, let’s say, 10-15 to reduce the load on the search engine.
In response to each request (containing a fragment of the text checked for plagiarism) of the program, search engines generate some links (10-15) sorted out by relevance. The parameter “number of links per sampling” defines how many first links will be checked (downloaded and checked for similarities) by the program. The default value that is 3 can be increased to 5. For a more thorough check, increase the Number of Samplings value.
Actually, Antiplagiarism isn’t supposed to give such results. Perhaps, you have a slow Internet connection. Try to change the settings. The process of plagiarism detection is impacted by the following two parameters:
Settings / Other / Timeout Period for Uploading One Page – the slower the Internet connection, the greater this parameter should be (ideally, there should be no messages in the log that the page couldn’t be uploaded because the timeout period has expired)
Settings / Other / Maximum Number of Simultaneous Uploads – the slower the Internet connection, the fewer uploads should be (as little as 1-3 uploads).
The effectiveness of the process of plagiarism detection depends on the speed and quality of your Internet connection at the time the article is checked for plagiarism the ability to access the server of the website that is being checked, settings, etc.
We suggest the same settings as those used in our server version of Antiplagiarism which is used to check all texts for plagiarism (Settings / General):
Sampling size in words - 10
Number of samplings - 50 per 1,000 words (or 100 samplings for a more thorough check)
Number of links per sampling - 3
Number of words per shingle - 3
These settings ensure a more thorough check than a deep search.
This error may occur if the page size is too big (for example, if it’s 9Mb). To avoid such errors in the future, change the settings as indicated in the question on “The page from your request couldn’t be uploaded and, consequently, 100% of unique content”.
The browser, too, gives an error message while trying to access this page.
Yes, this ensures that the search engines don’t ignore your requests and don’t block the program. By entering captchas, you confirm that you’re a human, but not a bot or some computer program.
Change the settings (Operations -> Settings -> Other). You need to increase the timeout period for uploading each page and reduce the maximum number of simultaneous uploads.
A discrepancy of 3-5% is a statistical error that may be caused by many factors, meaning 97% and 100% are the same results.
This error occurs when you don’t have enough memory on your computer. If you have large files to check, save the following settings in Antiplagiarism:
1) Settings / Report / Maximum Number of Search Operations – 1
2) Settings / Download / Memory Saving – check
Set the fipsalgorithmpolicy registry subkey to zero: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
This removes the ban of the Windows security policy to use a number of cryptographic algorithms which aren’t FIPS compliant (when two texts are compared, the program computes the md5-hash of the shingles, md5 isn’t FIPS-compatible).
The number of free online checks varies depending on the load on the servers, as well as the number of users currently using the program and the user’s rating.
Free online checks are available only to users whose rating is 20 or more scores.
Our system version of Antiplagiarism checks articles for both plagiarism and rewriting, and so does the downloaded version. If you want to check an article for plagiarism (content copied word-for-word), select Copied Content Detection Method. If you want to check an article for rewriting (semantic resemblance), select the Rewriting Detection Method. Both options are also available under the Online Check section.
