!!! How to INCREASE THE ORIGINALITY of a text?7 practical tips on “anti-plagiarism”

TIP #1. Formalize all borrowings as quotations

ALGORITHM:

4. Form all fragments as quotes.
CLUE. The Anti-Plagiarism system recognizes a fragment as a quotation if it is highlighted on both sides with quotation marks (Russian!!) and after the quotation marks there is a link to the source of literature in square brackets:
"...FRAGMENT..." [
A COMMENT. As experience shows, if borrowing comes from a textbook or a well-known monograph, then the Anti-Plagiarism system is highly likely to recognize this fragment as a “white” citation and thereby increases the final score of originality.
If the borrowing comes from someone else’s dissertation, then this technique does not help much.

TIP #2. Convert interlinear bibliographic references to references to the List of References

A COMMENT. This technique “kills” two birds with one stone in the pursuit of increasing originality.
1) The list of references is not included in the main text of the dissertation, which, in fact, is checked for “anti-plagiarism”, but the entire text of the footnotes is included.

And a bibliographic reference, especially to famous articles or books, is defined as borrowing. By removing these links from the text of the notes, we increase originality.
2) A link to a source of literature using a footnote, as experience shows, is not recognized by the Anti-Plagiarism system as a quotation. The quotation should be formatted:
"...FRAGMENT..." [
That is, refer to the number in the “Bibliography”

TIP #3. Convert large borrowings into dissertation appendices

REFERENCE. “Anti-plagiarism” checks the main text of the dissertation, which begins with the first words of the Introduction and ends with the last words of the Conclusion.

The list of references and appendices are not included in the main text.
COMMENT: If a large fragment of borrowing is placed in the Appendix (and there can be any number of Appendixes to the Dissertation), then we thereby remove the borrowing from the main text of the dissertation, and, accordingly, increase originality.

TIP #4. Provide all illustrative material as images

A COMMENT. Only the dissertation text is checked for anti-plagiarism.
The illustrative material of the dissertation includes: tables, formulas, drawings, diagrams.
Therefore, if text from tables/diagrams/figures is perceived by the Anti-Plagiarism system as borrowing, then it makes sense to provide them as an image.

TIP #5. Convert borrowings into tables/figures

A COMMENT. Literature review, links to results of other researchers, etc. is often perceived by the Anti-Plagiarism system as borrowing.
If you give this information in tabular form, and design the table as a picture, you can increase originality.
WARNING: Just don't use this technique on regular text!

ALGORITHM:
1. Send us your text.
2. We will check using the Anti-Plagiarism system.
3. We will send you a “colorized” text, where all fragments of borrowings are highlighted.
4. Replace all large fragments of borrowing 1-2 with your own sentences.
This technique will not only increase originality, but also make the text itself clearer and clearer for understanding.
Don’t be afraid to shorten your dissertation, especially other people’s paragraphs.
The Higher Attestation Commission only gives recommendations regarding the upper limit of a dissertation (150 pages for a candidate’s thesis, 300 pages for a doctoral dissertation), but says nothing about the minimum volume.
Brevity is the soul of wit!
And if you “got” beyond the limits recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission, then even more so, “truncating” the text is useful and beneficial!

TIP #7. Rewrite borrowings in your own words

A COMMENT. The Anti-Plagiarism system operates completely formally - it only looks for LITERAL matches of texts.
By rewriting a fragment of borrowing in your own words, you can easily increase originality.
It's labor-intensive, of course.
However, this skill, as experience shows, is a good help in life:
1) when you write reviews on your dissertation (few people now write reviews on other people’s dissertations), you will have to write the same thing several times in different words;
2) when writing website content, the process of rewriting texts in your own words is called rewriting, and there are always orders for it.

Now more DETAILS We will consider the issues of checking texts (dissertations, research work, diplomas, articles). look at it on this page.

Projects involved in the search for unfair borrowings can be divided into two types:
(1) Anti-plagiarism;
(2) “Dissertation grinders.”

In this article, we are interested in the Anti-Plagiarism system, since dissertation councils and the Higher Attestation Commission rely on it when assessing the uniqueness of the work.

Anti-plagiarism

Projects of the “anti-plagiarism” type include paid services that offer clients services to search for plagiarism in various types of documents.

In Russia, the leader in this service market is the Antiplagiat.Ru portal, which has been operating since 2005. It invites any user to upload a document through a special form and find out which pieces are not original and where they were most likely copied from.

The procedure for using the Anti-Plagiarism system

Instructions for using the Anti-Plagiarism system (download doc)

IMPORTANT! The largest verification base is the Russian State Library (RSL-Dissertations).
RSL specialists used it to check the originality of texts for the authors of dissertations (when this service was still available). Price in 2014 for individual was: 5000 rub. for 1 text (RUB 15,000 - urgent check, within 2 working days, not counting the day of application).
That is why the service of the EAC RAS “full check of your text for anti-plagiarism with the issuance of a Certificate of Originality” is popular, based on the use of algorithms of the Anti-Plagiarism system and 3 main checking databases:
1) "RSL-Dissertations",
2) "Internet (Anti-plagiarism)",
3) "Quoting"
since in fact not everyone has access to the Anti-Plagiarism system.

For universities, the “Antiplagiat.VUZ” package is offered, which is an extension of the website www.antiplagiat.ru, developed specifically for educational institutions. The package allows you to expand the number of search sources and organize educational institution a holistic process of checking student papers and dissertations for borrowings. The cost of the “Antiplagiarism.VUZ” package is, according to our data, 200 thousand rubles.

You also need to know that standard requirements to originality depend on the type of work. So, for a master's thesis the usual requirements are at least 70% originality, for candidate and doctoral dissertations - 80%, for an article - 90% originality.

What does this anti-plagiarism check look like?

Results of the analysis of text originality in the Antiplagat system

The results of the work of the Antiplagiat.Ru service are:
1) final table of borrowings (see Figure 1);
2) final assessment of originality (see Figure 1);
3) original text with highlighted individual pieces that were discovered somewhere (see Fig. 2), next to which are links to the original source.

Accordingly, based on this data, you have the opportunity to increase the originality of your text.

Increasing the originality of the text

So, let’s assume that 2-3 months before your defense you need to check your dissertation for anti-plagiarism and increase its uniqueness to a level that is acceptable in the Council where you are defending.

To solve the problem of increasing the originality of the text, the check at the RSL did not give anything, because as a result of the check, only a certificate was issued about the final value of originality, but a “colorized” text was NOT issued (with specific fragments of borrowings highlighted). Namely, it is needed for editing text. Therefore, the EAC RAS, in addition to the certificate of originality, if necessary, provides an extended report when checking using the Anti-Plagiarism system.

After checking, you get a list of pieces of text that are questionable, and you need to increase the originality of the entire text by rewriting these specific pieces. If at the same time you conduct an anti-plagiarism check yourself, then you need to understand that it is difficult to increase originality to the minimum required level in one day, and several iterations will be required during the process of rewriting the text to increase originality. Therefore, you have to pay for a week or even a month, cooperating with someone to reduce costs.

What to do if originality turns out to be low? There are 2 ways: technical and intellectual

1. Technical path .
We have removed from our website all recommendations for technical optimization of text originality.
we DO NOT RECOMMEND using this, it would seem in a simple way, because the Anti-Plagiarism system has learned to quickly identify artificial optimization techniques, including the use of macros to replace encodings.

2. Intelligent Path . It is more difficult because you have to think and be completely “in the know.”
The intellectual path allows you to increase the final score of originality and reduce the length of the dissertation
The recommended maximum volume of a candidate's dissertation is 150 pages, a doctor's dissertation is 300 pages.
Usually the dissertation author writes more, so you can safely cut down those parts of the dissertation work that are defined by Antiplagiarism as borrowing.
Namely:
a) take the extended Anti-Plagiarism report on your dissertation;
b) unlike the “technical path”, it is now more convenient to work with multi-color report visualization;
c) rewrite all large fragments of borrowings highlighted by Anti-Plagiarism in your own words, much shorter, or throw them out altogether (especially with regard to the 1st chapter, where an overview of work in your field is usually given).
The larger the volume of the dissertation, the more borrowings can be discarded.

ANSWERS to the most frequently asked questions about checking for anti-plagiarism (FAQ, FAQ)

What should be the level of originality of a dissertation?

The ideal case is originality over 90%.
Border (minimum level) of a sufficient degree of originality, in accordance with the recommendations of the Russian State Library, is 70%.
For a master's thesis or specialist's thesis, many universities set the lower bar at 85%.

The maximum value of the final originality score that the texts we checked showed is:
a) 95.75% - for candidate dissertations
b) 96.06% - for doctoral dissertations.
The minimum value of originality of a dissertation (and one that was successfully defended not so long ago), which we recorded, was 12.86%.

Is it possible to check a dissertation for anti-plagiarism? remotely without coming to Moscow?

Yes, we work with remote orders.
The following is sent:
a) a scanned color copy of the Conclusion on originality and all working materials (Report on the implementation, List of identified sources of borrowing, “colorized” text) - by email
b) the original of the Conclusion - by regular mail.
Payment - by electronic payment.

Is it possible to check text of the dissertation from previous years, which has long been protected?

Yes, if text from previous years is submitted for anti-plagiarism check, then after the initial analysis sources dating later than the date are removed publication of the analyzed text.
It should be taken into account that the “older” the text, the fewer sources of borrowing can be identified, because many scientific works of previous years did not reach the digitization stage.
Thus, in the oldest dissertation (dating back to 1992), which was sent to us for verification, only 2 sources of borrowing were identified.
The complexity of checking dissertations from previous years is higher than that of a “fresh” dissertation,
because for each source of borrowing it is necessary to determine the exact date publications
to remove publications with a later date than the analyzed text from the borrowing list.
Therefore, the cost of checking dissertations from previous years is higher than when checking “fresh” dissertations.

How to increase the originality of a text using technical means?

In general, we DO NOT RECOMMEND using technical (software) tools to increase the originality of texts.

Now the Anti-Plagiarism system has begun to take into account standard techniques that most text “optimization” programs use:

make part of the text invisible in the analyzed document
"glue" words
use "synonymizers"
insert extraneous letters into words
replace Russian letters with similar English ones
replace the letter encoding (with macros), etc.

As soon as the anti-plagiarism system detects such artificial methods of increasing originality, it issues a diagnostic message:
"The document contains features typical of artificially inflating the percentage of originality due to the peculiarities of document formats!!!"
And it refuses to issue a final assessment of originality, that is, it removes the text from the “anti-plagiarism check” with all the ensuing consequences.

Of course, there is a constant “struggle between shield and sword”; various people/groups come up with new ways to bypass the Anti-Plagiarism system.
In turn, the developers of the Anti-Plagiarism system are constantly improving their system, finding an “antidote” to the emerging methods of deceiving the system.
Particularly impressive was the March (2015) update of the Anti-Plagiarism system, which closed the popular bypass method by replacing the letter encoding with macros.

In addition, if at the moment it was possible to technically increase the originality of the text by deceiving the Anti-Plagiarism system, then there is absolutely no guarantee that such a result will be preserved by the time the dissertation is checked by the Higher Attestation Commission.
By this time, the Anti-Plagiarism system may well make changes that level out the technical methods used to increase originality, with all the sad ensuing consequences for the dissertation author.

Is it possible to send your dissertation for an anti-plagiarism check (with the issuance of a certificate) to a person other than the author of the work?

Yes, you can send it, the texts of dissertations are part of the common (public) space, so there is no legal violation in such a check.
When the RSL (Russian State Library) still issued anti-plagiarism certificates, it was issued only to the authors of works in order to limit the flow of applications for verification. We accept any texts for verification, with the exception of those classified as confidential.

Do the results of checking a dissertation “for anti-plagiarism” become outdated?

Yes, they become outdated.
Electronic libraries included in the “Internet Anti-Plagiarism” collection are now being intensively replenished, especially cyberleninka.ru.
Therefore, if you are going to defend yourself, then before posting (which has now become mandatory) the text of your dissertation on the website of your university/institute/Dissertation Council, be sure to CHECK!
According to the rules of the Higher Attestation Commission, the text of the dissertation cannot be changed after being posted on the website.
And, in our experience, authors experience a real shock when they learn about the low results of checking their texts “for anti-plagiarism”.
After all, when they checked their text 1-2 years ago, they were sincerely confident in their high originality.

How is self-citation taken into account when checking for anti-plagiarism?

Many questions are raised by the identification of borrowings from the author’s own, earlier works of the text being examined for “anti-plagiarism”.

Formally speaking, the text of the dissertation work must be original in itself.
But what to do, say, when, for example, a doctoral work is a continuation of a candidate's dissertation?
Or when the dissertation author refers to his own monograph, published on the topic of the dissertation before the dissertation itself?

The current consensus is:
are excluded from the list of sources of borrowings after the initial check for “anti-plagiarism” own works author (but not more than 15% of the text), if:
1) these works were made without co-authorship (or in the cited article/monograph there is a distinction between authorship);
2) the citation is correctly formatted (clearly, in quotation marks, highlighted; the exact names of the authors and works are given).

The described actions help make borrowings “white” and correct.
The most important thing is that the assessment of the degree of originality of the text, issued by the Anti-Plagiarism system, INCREASES.

Are references to used sources considered borrowing?

Standard wording contained in the issued Certificate of Originality
"The analysis of these sources showed that in the text under study there are correct matches in the form of names of publications, conferences, physical and legal entities, a standard description of the structure of dissertations and information about the dissertation, terminology and stable phrases adopted in this field of science, normative and legal acts, etc.
essentially means, mainly, that “The list of sources used in the anti-plagiarism analysis” is usually not included.

Candidate's/doctoral dissertations/Research reports analyze body text only, without applications and a list of used sources.
Theses (bachelor/master/specialist) are analyzed entirely due to the practice adopted in universities.

Can your assessment of originality after checking the text “for anti-plagiarism” differ from a similar check in the “anti-plagiarism-university” system of our university?

Yes, our assessment of originality may be higher than the assessment of the originality of the same text given by the “anti-plagiarism-university” system of a particular university.
However, not by much (in our experience - no more than 1%).
The fact is that we use exactly the same “Antiplagiarism” system (collections of the RSL EDB and “Internet Antiplagiarism”) as the Higher Attestation Commission.
And a university can add internal documents, sources from its library, and sources from partner universities to the anti-plagiarism-university system.
For example, master's theses or specialist's theses.

To pass the dissertation check for anti-plagiarism, do you need to fill out the “Order a paper” form on your website or register somehow?

The "Order work" questionnaire is intended for more complex tasks such as research, assessment investment projects and so on.
To check for anti-plagiarism, we only need:
a) send your coordinates (mail, telephone number for communication)
b) send the text of the dissertation to in electronic format.
Payment for work - upon receipt of the Conclusion (by courier or electronic payment).

How long does it take to check a dissertation for anti-plagiarism?

Typically the entire verification process takes 2 business days.
For example, if you send the text of your dissertation electronically today, then tomorrow afternoon the certificate will be ready (ready certificates are delivered free of charge by our courier).
If you send the text of your dissertation in PDF format or some image format (JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, etc.), then an additional 1 working day is required.
If you provide the text of your dissertation in paper form, an additional 1 working day is required.

Anti-plagiarism online The site allows you to check the text completely free of charge.

When registering for the service, you will automatically have the verification restrictions intended for guests removed, and you will be able to check a much larger number of texts using our online plagiarism service.

New algorithm for checking for plagiarism

The website service uses an algorithm for checking texts for uniqueness, which analyzes texts using an improved technique. To make your work with the verification service transparent and comfortable, we will give some recommendations for interacting with the current algorithm.

What texts does the algorithm not like?

This algorithm for checking text for plagiarism online is fundamentally different from checking using the shingle method. What implications does this have for working with texts?

The technique of low-quality rewriting is a thing of the past changing every fifth or fourth word. In texts written in this way, a high percentage of matches with the source will be found.
We are also pleased to announce that our the algorithm detects plagiarism even after rearranging words, phrases and sentences in places.
When working with anti-plagiarism uniqueness will not increase from changes in cases, tenses and other grammatical categories of words.
“Adding” new words to the original sentence, the rewriter will also not get rid of plagiarism.

Thus our free anti-plagiarism online highlights matches most accurately and completely.

What texts does the algorithm like?

To achieve 100% uniqueness when rewriting, you must complete high-quality text processing.

Please contact Special attention on densely illuminated areas- by getting rid of them, you will increase the uniqueness of the text.
It is recommended to do deeper rewriting: replacing words with synonyms, reformulating phrases, etc.

Let's make the algorithm even more careful!

If in the results of the check you find an extraneous link, in your opinion, where the matches are random, or, on the contrary, the results do not display a link to a page where there are matches with the text being checked, then write to support@site (be sure to include a link to the check result ).

The manual contains information about the purpose, capabilities, features of the system, as well as a description of actions that ensure checking text documents for the presence of borrowings.

Terms and Definitions

	Definition
	An online tool for working with text documents with a user interface on a website.
Borrowing	A fragment of the text of the document being checked that coincides or almost coincides with a fragment of the text of the source and is not formatted in accordance with the rules of citation, without providing complete bibliographic information about the source.
Citation	A fragment of the text of the document being checked, coinciding or almost coinciding with a fragment of the text of the source and formatted in accordance with the rules of citation, with complete bibliographic information about the source. Citations also include commonly used expressions, bibliographic lists, and fragments of text found in sources from collections of normative and legal documentation.
Borrowing percentage	The share of all borrowings found in relation to the total volume of the document in characters.
Citation percentage	The share of citations found relative to the total length of the document in characters.
Percentage of originality	The share of text fragments of the document being checked that were not found in any source used for checking, in relation to the total volume of the document in characters.
	The result of checking the text for borrowings: Brief report - represents the percentage of originality, a list of sources of borrowing. Full report - represents the percentage of originality, a list of borrowing sources, the downloaded document text, marked with the borrowing blocks found.
Share in the report	The ratio of the volume of borrowings, which is taken into account within this source, to the total volume of the document. If the same text was found in several sources, it is taken into account only in one of them.
Share in text	The ratio of the volume of borrowed text from a given source to the total volume of the document. Shares in the text according to sources are not summed up.
Blocks in the report	The number of borrowing blocks from a source, taking into account the intersections of all found sources.
Blocks in text	The number of borrowing blocks from the source, excluding other found sources.
Search module	A software module that implements the search for borrowings. The module uses a search index or a special computational algorithm to generate reports. The system may have several modules. After gaining access to several search modules, you are given the opportunity to conduct checks, build both separate reports and a single report for all search modules. Some modules perform searches in specialized databases with snapshots of the texts of source documents, but gaining access to the selected search module does not mean gaining access to the full texts of documents that this module can find. The received reports will contain links to documents (their names will also be given), and when viewing the source text, it will contain fragments that match the document being checked.
	Software that allows users to browse Internet sites, as well as access files and software linked to these pages. For example, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.
Text metrics	Semantic characteristics for each downloaded document.

Purpose and conditions of use

The service is designed to check text documents for borrowings. As a result of the scan, users receive scan reports. The report contains information about the sources and indicators of borrowing by source, as well as detailed information indicating those fragments of the document being checked that were identified as borrowing. Identification is accompanied by the presentation of a matching fragment of text from the borrowing source and/or a link to the original (URL). As a result of document verification, the user is provided with information that helps to determine which part of the document was written independently and which part was borrowed.

To use the service you need:

Connect to the Internet.
Install a browser or use one of the most common types of browser built into your operating system (MS Internet Explorer version 11 and higher, Mozilla Firefox version 58 and higher, Opera version 51 and higher, Chrome version 64 and higher).

The results of working with the Anti-Plagiarism system are not the basis for claims of copyright infringement; the service is intended for use exclusively in informational purposes. In other words, we do not declare that a particular text is plagiarized, but only inform you that the same or similar fragment of text exists. It is possible that when working with the service you will find text with a copied fragment from other sources, including the possibility that the document you downloaded is the original source. In any case, when working with the service, be careful, try to be objective and do not rush to conclusions. Remember that the service is only a work tool, and only the system user himself can give a real assessment of the document.

To prove the uniqueness of the text, sometimes certain difficulties arise, which help from Anti-Plagiarism can help solve. Next we will talk about what kind of “certificate” this is and how you can get it.

Currently, writing texts is very important for many companies. Of particular importance is that the finished text must be unique (not similar to other texts on the entire Internet).

You can check the uniqueness of any text (document or picture) using special services designed to search for similar texts. Among such services: Text.ru, Content-Watch, AntiPlagiatus, ETXT, etc.

The concept of anti-plagiarism

What is anti-plagiarism? Anti-plagiarism is a thorough online check of your text against a copy on the Internet. If, when checking the text, the system finds a matching part or the entire text is identical on another site, the Anti-Plagiarism system will notify you about this.

Today, Anti-Plagiarism has become a truly national program that can evaluate the uniqueness and quality of written works. To check your work, you need to register on any service convenient for you - this will allow you to check the uniqueness as many times as you need.

But you need to take into account that each service has its own number of verification attempts. First of all, you need to learn how to work with such services. It’s worth understanding the algorithm of the service you choose.

After your work has been polished, the verification system offers you the percentage of uniqueness of your text. Most often, such services are used by students to write coursework, diplomas or dissertations, or by copywriters, whose texts they transfer to companies/employers.

In some situations, users need confirmation that their robot has passed uniqueness. This confirmation is also called a certificate from Anti-Plagiarism. Such a certificate can be ordered from companies that themselves check your work, after which they will provide you with an official conclusion on originality.

Of course, this service may not be free. But you can do such a certificate yourself - it is a fairly simple procedure, and it consists of several steps.

Structure of creating help from Antiplagiarism

First you need to register on the Antiplagiat website (antiplagiat.ru). But if you have another program, then you just need to download and install it on your PC, and you don’t need to register;
Next you need to upload your work;
after which it needs to be checked (run the check);
when the robot has already been checked, you receive a detailed report (number of words, total number of characters, number of characters without spaces, presence of spelling errors).

In the Antiplagiat.ru system you can take a screenshot of this report. If you have paid according to the tariff, then you have additional opportunity download the report in pdf format. Other services may offer you to save the file in docx format.

Paid or free

Please note that in order to receive a full inspection report, you will need to make a payment. Payment can be per day, week or month. It is important to remember that Antiplagiat.ru checks texts exclusively in Russian.

If you need to check the text, for example, in Ukrainian, then it is best to use other services, for example, ETXT. If you need a certificate for Antiplagiarism.university, you can check the document only at the university, and only with the teacher.

If you need an official certificate from Anti-Plagiarism, then you can order such a document from companies that specialize in this. Their task is not only to check your work for uniqueness, but upon your request they will also be able to issue you a certificate of uniqueness.

The letterhead will contain complete information about the robot, as well as a stamp and signature. This is what the official Aniplagiarism certificate looks like.

Many students don't know how make a certificate for anti-plagiarism on one's own. We will tell you and show you, with examples, the entire procedure for creating this certificate. To get an anti-plagiarism certificate, you need to do everything as shown below.

2. To download a help report from free version antiplagiat.ru you need to select "Print version" in the window that opens "File" - "Print" - Microsoft Print to PDF printing tool and your help report will be saved in PDF format.

Sample inspection report Antiplagiat.ru

The anti-plagiarism system, after checking your work, issues inspection report.

This report will contain all the information: originality in %, borrowing %, citation %, date of verification (for example: 04/04/2017), sources.

Let's decipher each value separately.

1. Originality is the percentage of original text in your work. The higher it is, the better. Each university may have different requirements. But more than 65% originality of the text is recommended.

2. Borrowing- this is the percentage of text in the work that you borrowed from any sources. In simple terms, what you took and copied into your work. The lower the borrowing percentage, the better.

3. Quoting- This direct use text from some source, i.e. conveying the author's thoughts without distortion.

4. Date– this is the day, month and year when the system was checked. (For example, 04/04/2017).

5. Sources– these are the sources where the system found matches with your text. Here also, the fewer there are, the better.
