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.

Text metrics

On the check results page, on the "Text Metrics" tab, you can see various semantic characteristics of the document.

Please, pay attention that Metrics are calculated only for new documents. For documents uploaded before enabling this functionality, the calculation is not performed.

The block of text metrics is divided into the following components:

• Document rubrication
• Semantic characteristics
• Named entities
• Phrase segmentation

Editing document rubrication codes

After uploading the document to the system, you will be able to edit the codes of the categories of universal classifiers that allows you to attribute the work to a particular field of knowledge.

Automatically defined codes for each category are grouped into collapsed lists.. To expand and view the list, click on the button on the right side of the field with the name of the category.

To confirm one of the codes automatically determined by the system, click the "Confirm" button to the right of the desired name.

If no code has been determined automatically or there is no necessary code among the proposed codes, add it manually using the "Select from the full list" field at the bottom of the rubricator list. To do this, start by entering the name of the category.

To confirm the selection, click the "Add" button to the right of the selected code.

The selected code is displayed next to the name of the category. To reset and change the selected code, click the "Reset" button to the right of the name of the previously selected category.

When the code is reset, you will be able to select the category again from the suggested list or specify it manually.

Semantic characteristics

The system calculates and displays of various semantic characteristics for each uploaded document. 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

To get a list of named entities, click the "View list" button in the "Named Entities" block.

A modal window opens, which displays a list of named entities as well as information about the number of named entities found in the document. Each named entity is located in a separate block.

For each named entity, entities are compared in various languages. To open a list with mapped entities, click on the arrow.

If an error occurs when forming a list with named entities, it will be displayed in the modal window.

Phrase segmentation

To view the list of segments and semantic units of the downloaded document, click on the "Download file" button. An XML file will be produced. Depending on your browser settings, the download will begin automatically, or a dialog box will open to allow you to download and save the file.

In the uploaded XML file, you will see your uploaded document presented as a list of segments. After the list of segments, a list of semantic units will be presented.

The report on the text reuse check result

Full report

After the document is loaded and checked, you may navigate to the report. To go to the full report view page, click the “See results” button located on the line with the checked document. After this click "Full report" button.

The full report includes:

• 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

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.
