Learn what your similarity report is really showing, separate genuine overlap from harmless matches, correct citations and revise your own writing the right way.

A similarity score is a number, not a verdict. A report from Turnitin, DrillBit or Ouriginal shows where your text matches other sources, but it cannot tell whether the match is a properly cited quotation, a standard phrase, your own earlier paper or genuinely borrowed text. Similarity report support from Shodhyantri helps you read the report correctly and fix what actually needs fixing.
We go through matches with you, classify them, repair missing or incorrect citations, mark direct quotations properly, and guide you to rewrite borrowed passages in your own words with clear attribution. We do not use tricks such as character substitution, hidden text or automated spinning, which many checkers detect and which can lead to misconduct findings. Your thesis stays honest and defensible.
A similarity checker compares your document against web pages, journals, theses and submitted papers in its database, then highlights matching strings with their sources. The overall percentage combines all matches. Settings matter: excluding the bibliography, quoted material or small matches can change the figure, and institutions decide which exclusions are allowed.
In India, the UGC (Promotion of Academic Integrity and Prevention of Plagiarism in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations, 2018 set levels of similarity and consequences, and many universities use DrillBit through Shodhshuddhi or Turnitin for screening. Always read your university's current policy for the permitted level, exclusions and the process for thesis submission.
We walk you through each highlighted section and source, so you understand exactly why each match appears and how serious it is.
Many high scores come from missing citations or unmarked quotations. Fixing these is often the most important and honest step.
We guide you on paraphrasing and synthesis so revised passages reflect your understanding, not a machine's word swapping.
We never use hidden characters, image text or spinners. These methods can be flagged and may be treated as misconduct.
Guidance follows UGC 2018 regulations and your university's specific rules on permitted levels, exclusions and submission procedure.
We advise how to cite your own published papers in the thesis and when permission or disclosure is needed.
Ten stages, each with a clear output. Nothing moves to the next stage until you have reviewed the last one.
— You review every stage first, then decide —
Confirms the report uses settings and exclusions permitted by your university's similarity policy.
Checks every significant source match is labelled by type before any revision begins.
Verifies all borrowed ideas, data and quotations carry correct in-text citations and reference entries.
Confirms revised passages keep the original technical meaning and do not introduce factual errors.
Checks rewritten text reads clearly and consistently with your style, without awkward word substitutions.
Confirms the final document meets your institution's rules for submission and disclosure requirements.
Every stage is shared with notes explaining what was changed and why. You and your supervisor check it, and the next stage starts only after your go-ahead.
| Common problem | How Shodhyantri helps |
|---|---|
| Using synonym-swapping tools that turn sentences into unreadable text. | Rewrite from understanding. Read the source, close it, explain the idea in your own words, then cite the source. |
| Removing citations hoping the checker will not notice borrowed ideas. | Keep citations. Similarity is not plagiarism when properly attributed; removing them turns overlap into a real integrity problem. |
| Panicking over a high overall score without reading individual matches. | Open the source list. Often a few large matches, such as an uncited quotation or your own paper, explain most of the score. |
| Including the bibliography and quotations in a report when policy allows exclusion. | Check your university's rules. If exclusions are permitted, apply them consistently and record the settings used. |
| Copying long definitions and method descriptions directly from textbooks. | Quote short essential definitions with marks and citations, and describe your own procedure in your own words. |
| Reusing your published paper in the thesis without citation or disclosure. | Cite your own paper, follow the publisher's reuse policy and mention the publication in your thesis declaration as required. |
The summary percentage is not enough. Download the detailed report with highlighted text and source links before revising.
Address the top few sources, which usually contribute most of the score, before moving to small scattered matches.
In literature reviews, combine several studies into one point. Synthesis reduces overlap and improves your analysis at the same time.
Use direct quotations only for exact wording that matters, such as legal provisions or definitions, and keep them short.
Note the source of every idea while writing. Most accidental plagiarism comes from forgotten notes copied into drafts.
Run chapters through the checker as you complete them, so revision is calm rather than squeezed into the final week.
Standard terms and test names will match other sources. Do not distort them just to lower the number.
Some institutions now also review AI-writing indicators. Write in your own voice and keep drafts showing your process.
Your work is handled by people who read your field's literature, not by a single generalist.
A PhD-qualified specialist from your field who checks the research logic, gap and contribution.
Handles statistics, models and qualitative coding, and documents every analytical decision.
Improves structure, flow, clarity and academic tone without changing your meaning.
Builds and validates MATLAB, Python, ANSYS or COMSOL work where your study needs it.
Checks grammar, consistency, numbering, citations and the small errors examiners notice.
Applies your university or journal template, reference style and front matter exactly.
We cannot promise any specific percentage. Scores depend on the checker, its database and settings. What we do is help you fix citations, quote correctly and revise borrowed passages honestly, which usually reduces genuine overlap and makes your document defensible.
No. Similarity means matching text was found. Plagiarism means using others' words or ideas without proper credit. Properly quoted and cited text may still show as similar, while uncited paraphrase may be plagiarism even if similarity looks low.
We guide and edit, but the revision should be yours. We explain how to paraphrase and synthesise, edit your revised passages for clarity and accuracy, and correct citations, so the thesis remains your own work.
We regularly read reports from Turnitin, DrillBit and Ouriginal, and the principles apply to other checkers. Each shows matches and sources a little differently, and we explain the layout of yours.
The UGC Regulations of 2018 on academic integrity define levels of similarity and related consequences for theses and academic work, with certain exclusions. Universities apply them through their own policies, so always check your institution's current circular.
We advise against relying on them. Automated tools often distort meaning, produce unnatural sentences and may be flagged. Revising from understanding gives better text and protects you during viva questioning.
Yes. Files are used only for your work. We do not submit your thesis to any checker that stores it in a repository without your agreement, because that can cause matches against yourself later.
We provide research guidance, statistical analysis, editing, formatting and training support. All research content remains the scholar's own work, in line with UGC and university academic integrity norms. We do not guarantee publication, acceptance, indexing or academic outcomes: journals decide through peer review and universities award degrees.
Share your topic, draft or data. We will tell you honestly what it needs, and what it does not, before you pay anything.
