 * "WriteCheck is intended to check papers for plagiarism that have not yet been submitted to Turnitin. If your paper has previously been submitted to Turnitin, it resides in the student paper database. In this situation, you should not use WriteCheck because the analysis will result in a very high number of matches, due to the paper being compared against itself. You will not be able to distinguish between these self-matches and those against other sources. If you have questions, please contact Help through the link at the bottom of the page."
