This is where Paperpal comes in to help safeguard your research.

How it Works: 4 Steps to Write More Responsibly with Paperpal

For those who are writing original content or using AI writing tools to polish their work, it’s important to note that the text could be flagged in a plagiarism check. This makes it important to run a similarity check and address any problem areas highlighted by the plagiarism detector. Here’s a simple step by step guide by Paperpal to help you write more responsibly. 

STEP 1: Check your writing for similarity 

Even when you’ve written original content and cited your sources, it’s recommended to run your work through the plagiarism check as a precaution. This can help pre-empt a situation where your institution or journal flags your paper for overlooked citations or similarity to certain sources. 

STEP 2: Review report for actionable items  

Once your paper is processed, carefully review the similarity report. Check the overall similarity score and review sentences with a high score against other sources. Examine each flagged source thoroughly to see if it is relevant to your work and identify all the problem areas that need to be addressed.  

STEP 3: Write in your own voice 

Some similarity is not unusual! Commonly used phrases, especially in the methods section, may bump up the similarity score. It’s important to add variety in your text, which is where Paperpal’s Rewrite features can help, but remember to refine AI-generated text to retain your unique style and authentic voice. 

STEP 4: Cite any overlooked sources 

Even when you’re writing on a novel topic, it’s prudent to contrast and validate your writing in the context of related published literature. If any publication is flagged as similar to your text, and it is relevant to your research work, you’ll need to address this. When using exact wording from another paper, use quotation marks and cite these works meaningfully in your paper.
