Urkund is a text-matching tool intended to be used for monitoring plagiarism primarily in academic submissions by students. Academic writing is a craft in itself, and something that students need to learn in order to avoid the accusation of plagiarism. Our mission is to provide a fast, easy, and accurate tool for educators to detect plagiarism. Our software not only shows potential text matches and points of suspicion, but also enables a conversation around the correct methods of academic writing.
When a document is submitted to Urkund, it is compared to sources online, alongside our multiple academic databases, and also previously submitted documents. The most relevant sources are then singled out and presented in the analysis report, which will show a detailed view of how many paragraphs that could be matched against these sources, as well as how significant these similarities are.
By using our software you can dramatically improve the academic value of the documents produced by your students, and educate them on the correct methods of academic writing.
