Introduction

This manual is intended to familiarize you with the means of work in the "Antiplagiat" .

The manual contains information about the purpose, capabilities, features of the system, as well as a description of the actions that provide check of text documents for the detecting reuse.

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. Remember that the service is only a tool of work, and only the user can give a real assessment to the document.

In the profile you can review your credentials. User's data can be changed only by the company administrator.

Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional security measure for an administrator's account. 2FA is implemented by linking your account to a 2FA application, which must be installed on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet).

You can install any 2FA application, but we recommend using Google.Authentificator (iOS, Android).

Applications generate one-time digital codes that will need to be entered before performing the following actions with users:

• User creation (after clicking the "Add" button on the user creation page);
• 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.

Customer Care Service

If you do not find answers to questions about the system, please contact Customer Care Service. To do this, click on the "Menu" in the upper right corner and select the "Customer Care Service" tab. The system opens a window with a form to send the case.

Enter your question in the "Message" field and click on the "Send" button. Our experts will respond to your request to the e-mail, which was used to log in.

Adding a website

Our Internet search module performs a check on the already indexed sites of the web. If you find an interesting site or resource that is not included in the Internet search module, you can add it to our search module. This will allow you to build more complete and reliable reports for check through the Internet search module.

To add a website for indexing, click on "Menu" and select "Add website". Copy the link in the URL field and click "Add". You can also leave a comment about the site to which this link leads, for example, that this site is an open e-library or abstracts site.

Please note that the new website will be placed in the Internet search Module according to the order of the indexing queue.

Administration

View the list of users

To view the list of users, click on "Menu" icon and select "Administration" section.

The list of company users appears with the information about them.

A user with the role "Structural subdivision administrator" can view the information only about those users who are attached to the structural subdivisions and subsidiary ones that this user is managing. The other system users are not available to him.

First time you log in, you will see two users with Administrator role (learn more about roles in the "User roles" section):

Support Service – an employee of "Antiplagiat" company, who is responsible for supervision over system efficiency, troubleshooting and assistance to users of the company.
• Root administrator - administrator of your company, created by "Antiplagiat" Customer Care Service during company activation.

Availability of these roles depends on your system configuration.

User search

For convenience of usage of the list of users, the system provides search for users by id, e-mail, name, registration date, login date, structural subdivision, role and status.

By default, list of users is sorted by registration date in descending order. You can change sorting order in the header of the table, the direction of the arrow will change, pointing to the sorting method, and the column, which is currently sorted, is highlighted in bold.

Impersonation of administrator into user's workspace

You can impersonate into account of any company's user. To do this, click on "Log in" button in row with the selected user. Page with user's workspace under his/her login will open in the new tab. Administrator can access all features and documents of this user.

You can impersonate in only one user. To exit the impersonation mode, click on "Log out" in the user menu. After that, the administration page will open, you can continue to work with the system on your own.

Creation of a new user

To add a user to the system, click on the "Add user" button in the top menu. Fill in the fields, select a role, attach the user to the structural subdivision and click the "Add" button. The new user will be displayed in the top row of the table.

Please note that "Structural subdivision administrator" can create all users, except for users with the "Administrator" role.

E-mail, password and role are the required fields.

Multiple roles can be assigned to a user in the system. Depending on the roles assigned, the user can switch between them and perform the activities that are specific to the role.

The created user will receive a link sent to the specified e-mail for setting the individual password. If you uncheck the "Send password by e-mail" checkbox, then the link for password setting after clicking the "Add" button will not be sent. To postpone or resend the link to the password setting page, use the Editing Users section.

Only one subdivision can be specified in the "Structural subdivision" field.

The Structural subdivision administrator can indicate here the subdivisions managed by him and subsidiary ones. The administrator can specify any structural subdivision.

Editing users

To change the information about a user, click on the "Edit" button in the row of the appropriate user. The edit user's account window will open.

You can change the e-mail, user information, oblige the user to change the password (send a link to the password setting page), attach the user to another structural subdivision, change or add another role to the user in the system.

Please note that "Structural subdivision administrator" cannot assign a user the "Administrator" role. And for users with the "Administrator" role, the "Structural subdivision administrator" can only change the attachment to a structural subdivision.

To send a password setting link to the user's e-mail, flag the box "Send password to e-mail" in the edit tab of the user’s account and click on the button "Save changes".

Please note that after sending a link to the user for setting a new password, the login using the user's current password is blocked. The user must independently set a new password to continue working in the system.

You can send links to the password setting page to multiple users at the same time. To do this, flag those users in the list who need to set a new password (if necessary, select all users) at once), and in the top menu click on the button "Send password by e-mail".

After confirmation, an informational message will appear about the successful sending of letters with links to the users’ e-mails with an indication of their number.

Please note that passwords for some system users cannot be changed (root administrator, system support service).

Mass change of user attachment

To change the attachment to a structural subdivision for several users at once, select these users in the list of users by check marks and click on "Edit structural subdivision". A special form will open for selection the structural subdivision to attach the selected users to.

For a user with the "Structural subdivision administrator" role, the drop-down list displays the structural subdivisions that he manages and the subsidiary ones. For a user with the "Administrator" role - all structural subdivisions of the company.

Assignment of managed subdivisions to the Structural subdivision administrator

A separate parameter is provided for a user with the "Structural subdivision administrator" role - "Structural subdivision management". This parameter determines which subdivisions the Structural subdivision administrator can manage.

There are two ways to assign managed subdivisions to a user with the Structural subdivision administrator role:

• through the Structural subdivision management page (see "Management of the organizational structure of the company");
• when editing a user.

To assign managed subdivisions when editing the Structural subdivision administrator, specify the required subdivisions in the "Structural subdivision management" field. In this field, you can specify several subdivisions - the user will manage each of them.

Only users with the "Structural subdivision administrator" role have a managed subdivision. There is no such parameter for users with the "Administrator" role, and they have access to the entire structure of the company at once.

If the Structural subdivision administrator is not assigned with a structural subdivision (he does not manage any structural subdivision), then he sees the message on the Administration, Collections, Company structures page:

Blocking and deleting users

Management of the organizational structure of the company

For the best correspondence of the "Antiplagiat" system to the hierarchical structure, it provides for the "Management of structural subdivisions" functionality. This tool allows you to:

• enter the information about the organizational structure of the company into the system;
• attach system users to various structural subdivisions;
• delimit access and appoint responsible persons for structural subdivisions.

As part of this functionality, all users are linked to structural subdivisions. In this case, the role "Structural subdivision administrator" (SS Administrator) is provided, which is responsible for managing a specific structural subdivision. Such a subdivision is called managed. A subdivision can have subsidiary subdivisions, in this case it is called the parent subdivision.

To go to the management of structural subdivisions, click on the menu item "Company structure". The structural subdivisions management page is used to display the organizational structure of your company. Here you can create, edit and delete structural subdivisions.

When the structure has not yet been created in the system, the page looks like this:

To proceed to creating a scheme, click on "Create a scheme" - the site will display a form for creating structural subdivisions in the following form:

The structural subdivisions are displayed on the page with the already created structure. If the SS Administrator is viewing the page, then he sees only the structural subdivisions managed by him and subsidiary ones.

For the convenience of displaying the entire scheme of structural subdivisions on this page there are arrow icons near the name of the subdivisions on the scheme and the buttons "Collapse all", "Expand all". To hide / show all subdivisions in the scheme, click on "Collapse all", "Expand all". To hide / show subsidiary subdivisions, click on the arrow icons next to the subdivision name on the scheme.

If a Structural subdivision administrator is assigned to a subdivision, the icon to the right of the subdivision name on the scheme will be orange. For subdivisions that do not have SS Administrators managing them, the icon is gray.

Creation of structural subdivisions

To create a new structural subdivision, click on "Add subdivision" or on the "+" icon. On the right side of the screen, the “Subdivision parameters” block will become editable. Here you can specify the parent subdivision, the names of the subdivisions to be created and their Administrators.

Parent subdivision. This field is required. The selection of the parent subdivision is carried out from the subdivisions available to you. If you are a Structural subdivision administrator, then the choice is made from the subdivisions that you manage, and subsidiary ones. If you are an Administrator, then you can specify any subdivision here or leave this field blank.

Subdivision name. This field is required. You can specify several names in it - each on a new line. Then the system will create a separate subdivision for each of the specified names.

Names cannot contain *; and \ characters. The name of the subdivision must contain letters.

Important! A parent subdivision cannot have two subsidiary subdivisions with the same name. The case does not affect the uniqueness of the subdivision name.

Administrator. To assign an Administrator for the structural subdivision being created, start entering his full name or e-mail in this field. Select the desired users found by your request. The search is carried out only for users with the "Active" status with the "Structural subdivision administrator" role. If the user has been assigned several roles, the role "Structural subdivision administrator" must be among them.

To create a subdivision, click on "Save".

Editing structural subdivisions

As a user with the "Structural subdivision administrator" role, you cannot edit the organizational subdivisions that you manage - only those that are subsidiary ones inside them. If you are a user with the "Administrator" role, then you can edit subdivisions without restrictions.

In order to change any subdivision, first click on it, and then on the "Edit" button - the fields in the "Subdivision parameters" block will become available for editing.

For a subdivision, you can change the parent one, change its name and the list of its Administrators. After you have made the changes you want, click on "Save".

Deleting structural subdivisions

To delete a structural subdivision, select it on the diagram and click on "Delete".

Depending on whether it contains users and documents, the system will offer various options:

1. if users and documents are not attached to the subdivision, then the system will delete the subdivision and automatically detach the "Structural subdivision administrator" from the management;
2. if there are documents attached to a subdivision in the system, then when deleted, all documents from this subdivision will be automatically transferred to its parent one. If the subdivision does not have a parent one, then the documents will not be attached to any subdivision.
3. if users are attached to the subdivision, the system will offer to move all users from the deleted subdivision, and only then delete it. To do this, click on "Delete manually" - you will find yourself on the administration page. For more information on how to assign users to an organizational subdivision, see the "Administration" section. You can simply delete a subdivision by clicking on "Reassign and delete" - in this case, the system will automatically transfer all users from the deleted subdivision to its parent. If the organizational subdivision does not have a parent, then users will not be assigned to any organizational subdivision.

As a user with the “Structural subdivision administrator” role, you cannot delete organizational subdivisions that you manage - only those that are subsidiary inside them. If you are a user with the “Administrator” role, then deleting organizational subdivisions is available to you without restrictions.

Batch mode of editing of users

The administrator has the ability to edit the users of the company in batch mode. Batch editing of users is carried out through editing of a csv-file with a list of users.

Format of the file:

• each line of the file contains information about one user;
• the line consists of fields, separated by semicolons;
• order of fields: ID, last name, first name, middle name, role, e-mail, delete.

Batch editing allows you to:

• create a new user (field for ID must be empty);
• delete a user (in the "Delete" column you need to put "1", otherwise this field must be left empty);
• change user’s data (full name, e-mail);
• change user’s role or add another role. Roles should be listed via slash «/».

We recommend to edit the file in csv format in text editors ("Notepad"," Notepad++", etc.). To save the edited file in Excel, use the "Save as" button and select the format *.csv (separated with comma).

During batch editing of users, the System subdivision administrator in the exported csv-file sees only those who are in the structural subdivisions he manages and subsidiary ones. At the same time, users with the "Administrator" role will not be exported. Using batch editing, the System subdivision administrator cannot assign this role to anyone and create users with this role.

To batch edit the list of users, you need to do the following actions:

• Click on "Export" in the top menu of the "Administration" section and save/open the file on your computer.
• Make the necessary changes without changing the first line of the file, and save the modified file in the format *.csv.
• Click on "Import" and select the corrected file in the top menu of the "Administration" section.

When exporting a csv-file with changes, a window will open for selecting a subdivision for attaching users who will be created using this file. A user with the "System subdivision administrator" role can select only from the structural subdivisions managed by him and subsidiary ones. A user with the "Administrator" role - from all divisions of the company.

After importing of the modified csv-file under the list of users, the information about correctly filled users will be updated.

In batch editing mode, you may encounter an error if:

• field E-mail is empty;
• there is no id field for the user, which has been edited by you;
• user’s role is entered incorrectly;
• the "Delete" column has an incorrect value (an incorrect value is all values except "1").

Company documents management

The administrator of the company can view all the documents of the company. To do this, click on the "Menu" and select the "Collection" section. A list of company documents opens, displaying documents uploaded by all users of the company.

The Structural subdivision administrator can view documents attached to his managed structural subdivision and subsidiary ones in the "Collection" section. A user with the "Administrator" role has access to all company documents without any restrictions on structural subdivisions.

To which structural subdivision the document will be assigned depends on how and by whom it was uploaded to the system. When uploading a document to the system, it is attached:

• to the structural subdivision of the user who uploads, if the document is uploaded to the user’s workplace;
• to the structural subdivision of the Teacher, to whose task the document is uploaded;
• to the structural subdivision that was selected when uploading the document into the Storage (see below).

Documents uploaded by the user to his workplace are automatically attached to the structural subdivision to which the user belongs. When you change the attachment of a user to a structural subdivision, all previously uploaded documents are still related to his old structural subdivision. The user has access to all his documents, regardless of which department they belong to.

Documents uploaded as student papers are automatically attached to the structural subdivision of the Teacher who created the task. If the Teacher changes the structural subdivision to which he is attached, then after such an update the documents uploaded to his tasks are attached to the new structural subdivision of the Teacher.

If the Teacher's structural subdivision changes, then the documents uploaded to his tasks before the change of subdivision are still available to the Administrator of his old structural subdivision. The documents uploaded to the task after changing the subdivision are visible to the Administrators of the new structural subdivision of the Teacher. The Teacher retains access to student papers, regardless of how his assignment to structural subdivisions changes.

Company documents revision

On the left side of the "Folders" panel you will see the sections where all uploaded company documents are stored.

The Structural subdivision administrator sees all existing folders, but inside them he sees only documents belonging to users of his structural subdivision. If it is necessary to create a new folder, edit or delete an existing one, the Structural subdivision administrator must contact the Company administrator.

The "Storage" section is available and is displayed only if you have your own collection maintenance connected.

Please note that "Company documents", "Storage" and "User documents" are system folders. You cannot delete, move, or rename system folders. You can add, delete, and rename documents and folders only in the “Storage” folder.

The section "Company documents" contains a list of all company documents uploaded by users and administrators, both in their personal accounts and in the storage. Additional information, including author, upload time, and status, is displayed for the documents.

Sorting, filtering and searching by table columns is similar to the "Administration" section.

"Storage" is the company's own collection, which used to check the documents of the company's users. The structure of this section is similar to the section "Company documents". There are two types of placing in index for the documents in the "Storage" - in index of approved and in index of text similarity. Duplications, which was founded via documents from index of approved, relate to citing percentage. If the document is placed in index of text similarity in the "Storage", then duplications relates to text similarity percentage in text reuse reports.

Section "User documents" contains documents uploaded by users of the company to their offices. The structure of this section is the same as in the section "Company documents".

Adding and deleting the documents from the index

If you want to search for reuse in the system "Antiplagiat" carried out on the documents uploaded by your organization, add the document to the indexation. Check the documents box and select the appropriate action from the top menu. Similarly, the process of extracting from the index.

User documents are placed in the similarity index. Only documents from the company's storage may be in the index of approved. To place documents in the index of approved, open the "Storage" section, tick the documents with checkmarks and click on the "To Index" button in the top menu. In the drop-down menu, select the "To approved index" button.

Deletion and restoring of company documents

To delete documents, check the documents checkbox and click the Delete button in the top menu.

To restore previously deleted documents, click the filter icon next to the status column name, select the deleted status, and then click Apply. Now check the box documents and click on the "Restore" button in the top menu. Once recovered, the documents will appear in the root folder of the users who previously downloaded them.

Adding the document to the "Storage"

If you have a set of documents and you want to check users' documents by them, you need to add these documents to the "Storage". To do this, select the appropriate folder in the "Storage" and click "Add document".

Documents are added to the "Storage" without checking and reporting. Documents uploaded to the Vault are added to the index of their own collection as soon as they are loaded, but they can be removed from the index once they are loaded.

In Storage, you can create, delete, rename, and move subfolders.

For placing documents in index of approved at the moment of uploading in "Storage", click on "Approved for citing" button on uploading to "Storage" form.

When adding documents to the Storage, you can choose which structural subdivision they will be attached to. To do this, indicate the required structural subdivision in the form for adding a document.

Loading of documents in batch mode

The administrator of the company has the ability to batch download documents in the "Storage" of the company. To do this, select "Batch upload" in the "Storage" section.

To batch download documents to "Storage", you need to prepare documents for loading and a file with attributes of the loaded documents. A file with attributes will allow you to search by standard attributes in the future, also you can create your own attributes that will be assigned to the document. They will be displayed in the information about source during the search for reuses.

Main fields (file's name) and additional fields (all other fields) include in a composition of the file with attributes in the format .csv. You can edit the headers for all attributes except the attribute "Name of file".

Manual for filling of the file with the attributes is situated inside a template file. The template is available for loading in the top panel of the "Batch upload" page.

Loading of a file with attributes is optional, and you can choose not to use it in the batch loading of documents. Then the loaded files will be assigned standard attributes, as during the loading of a single document. If you do not want to use the file with attributes, you can skip the first 3 paragraphs from the following procedure for batch loading of documents.

Note: A text layer in a PDF is directly text data from a file that can be selected and transferred to another area for further processing as a set of characters, not as an image. A text layer in a PDF can be placed on top of other layers of the file, for example, on top of images. Please note that scans, photos and other images that depict printed characters are not a text layer. To check files containing images with printed characters, but not containing a text layer, you need to enable the Text Recognition (OCR) service

In addition to uploading individual files, it is possible to upload the archive in the format RAR, ZIP or 7z. In this case, all documents from the archive are processed separately.

Please note that it is prohibited to use ;<>=+&%#@[]{}~`®*\ symbols in the name of the document.

If you do not enter the parameters, the following default values will be applied to the document: the folder that was opened when viewing the user's Workspace is selected, the document type is not specified, the name is the file name, all possible check options will be set for the search modules (depending on the services connected by the company).

This functionality allows you to evaluate the scientific nature of the text, determine the presence of special sections in the document, and calculate some indicators. The calculation takes place automatically when the document is loaded.

List of calculated semantic characteristics:

• The share of scientific vocabulary. The indicator is from 0% to 100%, where 100% corresponds to a completely scientific text, and 0% corresponds to a completely unscientific text. The indicator is the ratio of words and phrases, included in «the dictionary of scientific terms and constructions»to the total number of words and phrases in the text being checked.
• The share of the general vocabulary. The indicator is from 0% to 100%. The formula used to calculate is (100% - [Share of scientific vocabulary]).
• The presence of an annotation.
• The presence of conclusions.
• The presence of an introduction.
• The presence of a research method description.
• The presence of a study results description.
• Assessment of the coherence of the text. The indicator is from 0% to 100%, where 100% corresponds to perfectly connected text, and 0% corresponds to completely disconnected text. The coherence of the text is characterized by the syntactic and semantic coherence of its sentences. When determining the coherence of the text, an error may occur due to the document being checked using OCR and the presence of images in the document being checked.

Named entities

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.

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.
