Terms and definitions

Term	Definition
System "Antiplagiat" (service)	Online tool for working with text documents with user interface on the web-site.
Text similarity	A fragment of the document text that contains the text or a fragment of the source text and is not formatted in accordance with quotation rules
Text recycling	A fragment of the document text that contains the text or a fragment of the source text, the author or co-author of which is the author of the checked document
Quotes	A fragment of the document text that contains the text or a fragment of the source text and formatted in accordance with the rules of quotation, with full bibliographic information about the source. Also quotes include common expressions, bibliography, fragments of text found in sources from the collections of regulatory documents.
Text similarity percentage	The proportion of all found similar text in relation to the total size of the checked document in characters
Text recycling percentage	The proportion of all found text recyclings in relation to the total size of the checked document in characters
Quotes percentage	The proportion of all found quotes in relation to the total size of the checked document in characters
Originality percentage	The proportion of all document text fragments that were not found in the sources used for check, in relation to the total size of the checked document in characters
Report	The result of checking the text for reuse: Brief report - is a percentage of originality, list of text sources. Full report - is a percentage of originality, list of text sources, the full text of the document, marked with found similarity text blocks.
Report share	The ratio of the volume of matches that is taken into account within this source to the total volume of the document. That is, if the same text was found in several sources, it is taken into account only in one of them. When summing up the shares in the reports for all sources, a percentage of "Similarity" is obtained.
Text share	The ratio of the volume of matches of the source text to the volume of the document. The shares in the text by sources are not summed up when calculating the total percentage of matches.
Report blocks	The number of text similarity blocks from the source, taking into account the intersections of all found sources.
Text blocks	The number of text similarity blocks from a source without regard to other found sources.
Collection (search module)	The software module of the corporate version of the system "Antiplagiat", implementing the search for text reuse. The module uses a search index or a special computational algorithm to build reports. The system can have several collection. Search modules may differ in purpose, for example: Internet search; Citations; Russian State Library (RSL) collection; GARANT collection; eLIBRARY collection; National Library of Belarus (NLB) collection. Once you have access to several search collections, you can build both individual reports and a single report for all search collections. Some collections perform searches across specialized databases with the casts of the texts of the source documents, but to obtain access to the selected search module doesn't mean getting access to the full texts of the documents it can find this collection. In the received reports, links to the documents will be indicated (their names will also be given), and when viewing the source text, it will contain fragments that coincide with the document being checked.
Browser	Software that allows users to view pages on Internet sites and access files and software associated with those pages. For example, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.
Text metrics	Semantic characteristics for each uploaded document.

Purpose and conditions of use

The service is designed to check text documents for plagiarism. As a result of the scan, users receive text reuse reports. The report contains information on the sources and indicators of text similar to source, as well as detailed information with the indication of those fragments of the checked document that have been identified as text similarity. The identification is accompanied by the presentation of the matching text fragment of the borrowing source and/or the reference to the original (URL). As a result of the document check, the user can determine which part of the document is written independently and which part is reused.

To use the service you need:

• Connect to the Internet;
• Install a browser or use the browser of one of the most common types built into your operating system (MS Edge version 97 and above, Mozilla Firefox version 90 and above, Opera version 78 and above, Chrome version 92 and above).

The results of work with the system "Antiplagiat" are not the basis for claims of copyright violations, the service is aimed at use only for information purposes. In other words, we do not declare that a particular text is plagiarism, but only inform you about the presence of the same or similar text fragment. It is possible that when working with the service, you will find the text copied from other sources, including the possibility that the downloaded document is the original source. In any case, when working with the service, be careful, try to be objective and do not rush to conclusions.

• Batch creation of users (after clicking the "Import" button on the administration page);
• Changing a user (after clicking the "Change" button on the page for changing a user);
• Sending a password to the user (after clicking "Send passwords" in the action confirmation window);
• Unblocking the user (after pressing the "Unblock" button in the action confirmation window);
• User recovery (after pressing the "Restore" button in the action confirmation window);
• Impersonating into a user (after clicking the "Log in" button on the "Administration" page).

In order to set up 2FA, follow these steps:

1. Install the 2FA application on your mobile device (smartphone or tablet);
2. Scan the QR code using the application, or enter the text version of the code;
3. After the application generates a numeric code, enter it in the field at the bottom of the page and click the "Activate" button;
4. Click the "Close" button in the window that appears with a message about the successful connection of 2FA.

A window for entering 2FA will appear when performing actions with users. You will need to enter the numeric code from the application and click the "Confirm" button.

If you have not previously linked your account to the 2FA application, then a window will appear with a message about the need to configure 2FA when you perform an action with the user. The message will contain a link to the "2FA Settings" tab.

The 2FA functionality is enabled by default. 2FA is activated for free.

Important! If the administrator loses access to the 2FA application on a mobile device, then the 2FA settings can be reset by "Antiplagiat". employees.

To reset 2FA, contact your organization's root system administrator. If you are a root administrator and you need to reset the 2FA administrator, then write an email to our Customer Care Service support@antiplagiat.ru.

The figure below shows a General view of the full report.

In the top panel of the page you will see the icon buttons, allowing you to proceed to the next action:

• parameters for checking;
• export of the report;
• downloading the Certificate;
• save the edited report;
• report printing layout;
• view reports history;
• view text metrics;
• get a direct link to the report;
• link to the brief report;
• link to user manual.

Viewing the report

The report page consists of the text to be checked, in which the similar blocks are highlighted, the list of sources, the aggregated results of the check and navigation through the blocks of similarity (search by blocks).

To navigate through the text pages, use the paging panel located above and below the text box. To display all pages of the document at once, click on "Show all pages" at the bottom of the document page.

To return to the page-by-page display of the report text, click the "Show by page" button on the paging panel.

To see which text fragments were similar and to which specific source, all text similar blocks in the system are highlighted, and at the end of each block there is a label with the respective number of the source.

When viewing similar blocks in a report, you can use block navigation (block search). With its help you can go to the next or previous block by pressing the "Previous" or "Next". You can also choose which type of text blocks to use.

Viewing information about the source

To view information about the source, find the source in the list, expand the respective source and click on the icon.

The source information window displays various data on the source: a link to the source, the date of its publication, the author, etc. The list of fields may be different depending on the search module and the source itself. An annotation to the source is also displayed in the source information menu. Annotation is an automatically generated short piece of text from a document to form an idea of its content.

If the source is placed in index of approved by administrator of your company, then appropriate flag about the source appears. Text reuses from such source included in citing percentage and highlighted by green color.

Parameters such as text share, report blocks, text blocks are customizable. To do this, click on the "Menu", select the "Profile" section and go to the "Report settings" tab. You can choose which of the parameters will not be displayed in the report by unchecking one of them.

When analyzing sources, you can use both report share and text share. For a clear understanding of the difference between them, let's give an example: The report indicates two sources "Source A" and "Source B". According to the sources, the same paragraph of the text was found, which makes up 10% of the total volume of the document being checked. In this case, we will get the following data:

• Source A: text share is 10%, report share is 10%;
• Source B: text share is 10%, report share is 0% (because this text has already been taken into account from source A.)

Another way to view information about a source is to click on the source number in the full report text. A window will appear that contains basic information about the source.

External link to the source

For most sources in the list there is an external link to the location of the document or source text on the Internet. To go to the web page, click the icon next to the source name.

After clicking on the link, the web page on which the text of the block was found will be opened.

A situation may arise when the source is unavailable after clicking on the link. Perhaps the site administrators deleted the text, or the page "moved." But in any case, this text was available at the specified address when the site was added to the index of the search module of the system.

The fact that one or more of the report's links to the open sources on the Internet at the time of viewing the report do not work is not a reason to remove these links from the system's index. Texts at the links' addresses were indexed, before being deleted / moved, they were available to third parties, could be read, copied or otherwise used. Also, they could be stored in the cache of search engines and web archives, where they could still be found.

Viewing the source report

To view the source report, click the link in the source name in the list of sources. A new tab in the browser will open with the text of the source with which there was a duplication. Instead of text that doesn't overlap with the source, you'll see the number of characters that were skipped.

If you want to view the full source text, open the source link by clicking on the "Go to the source website" button.

Click another source in the Sources pane on the left to view the report for that source immediately.

You can choose to view the report by source – page or solid text. By default, the source report is displayed page by page. To switch the view mode, click on "Show full text". When you switch to solid text view, the button changes to Show text page by page. Click it to go to page view.

Another way to view the source report is to go to the source report from the block in the text. Click on the source number at the end of the block, then click on the source name.

The page "Report on the source" will be opened with the selected block.

Viewing report history

When you recheck the document or edit the report, all previous versions of the reports are saved in the system. To view the report history, click the "More" button and select the "Report history" item in the top menu of the full report.

A separate window will open, where you will see a summary of all the reports made for this document. Reports in history are sorted in descending order by the build date.

To go to the detailed view or correction of one of the reports, click the "Open" button. The report opens on a new page.

You can also view all the corrections to the report, go to a specific correction and change it. The correction is created automatically when you edit the report.

Editing of the text blocks

You may adjust the check result not only by excluding or changing the source's type, but also by deactivating text blocks. This feature allows to not use the selected blocks when calculating the percentages.

To disable the necessary text block in the report, left-click on it. The “Deactivate” button will appear. After this the block will change color to gray. The system will automatically recalculate the percentages, but without accounting disabled text block.

To take the disabled text block into account again, find the disabled text block and click on it. The “Enable” button will appear. After clicking on it, the result will be recalculated again.

You may find out if there are the disabled text blocks and enable all the text blocks at once in the check results panel. To enable all text blocks, click on the “Enable All” button and the system will automatically recalculate the check result.

Also you may find out if there are any disabled text blocks in the workspace. In the list of documents a report that contains disabled text blocks has one more status : "The report contains disabled blocks".

Please note that text blocks of different sources may intersect with each other - one smaller block may be the part of the bigger block. After deactivating a large text block, the small text block will be deactivated with it.

You may use navigation on disabled blocks to the right of the report's text.

Comments to the report

On the full report page in the original view mode, you can make comments to the report. This functionality is not available in a text view mode. The comments button is located at the top panel of the page. The current number of comments to the report is shown in parentheses next to it.

Suspicious document

A suspicious document is a document that shows signs of technical ways to change the text or format, such as replacing characters, inserting invisible text, etc. Such signs may indicate that the author tried to cheat the system to hide text reuses and artificially increase the originality percentage. If such signs of cheating have been found in the document, a special flag will be put for it in the workspace and the list of documents of the company.

Please note that if you see a suspicious flag, we recommend that you carefully read the check report and the suspicious fragments found in the document. Detection of suspicious documents is an auxiliary tool for analysis. The final decision is always up to the verifier.

The information that the document shows signs of a cheating is displayed in the check reports, in the printable versions, and in the downloaded reports. In a brief report the page numbers with the detected potential cheating attempts are displayed.

The "On page" tab provides information about suspicious fragments on the selected page of the document. To display certain cheating methods, check them and uncheck the others. The selected cheating methods are highlighted in red on the page, the removed cheating methods are underlined with a red line. To select all suspicious fragments on the document page at once, click on "Display all". In order to remove the selection from all the suspicious fragments, click on "Hide all".

It is also possible to review the text of the cheating, if it was extracted during the document processing.

If the document does not contain cheating, you can disable the "Suspicious document" flag. To disable the flag, use the enable/disable button in the upper right corner of the "Suspicious document" page. You can leave a comment explaining why you disabled the "Suspicious document" flag. If you view the "Suspicious document" page through a direct link, you will not be able to disable the "Suspicious document" flag.
