Plagiarism Detection

What does it scan?

What sources Pangram's plagiarism detection compares your text against.

Last reviewed Jul 24, 2026

Pangram's plagiarism feature scans your document against a third-party database of published work.

How it works

When you run a plagiarism scan, we compare your document against a third-party database of published work. Where your text matches that published work, we return the identical segments along with their associated source.

What you get back

  • The segments of your document that are matched to published work
  • The source associated with each matching segment
  • A summary of the number of matched segments in your input
