Why pay for plagiarism checking twice?
A one-minute story of plagiarism and AI detection built into your marking, on every plan. It plays by itself. No sound.
- Paid in EduMark Credits on every plan, with no separate subscription
- Plagiarism and AI content detection in one check
- Branded PDF report
- Results inside EduMark Studio
Checks are paid in EduMark Credits on every plan, so there is no separate plagiarism subscription to manage. See the rate card · See how it works
What gets checked
Four sources. Every check.
By default, every check searches the internet, academic publications, earlier work handed in at your own organisation and the course materials you teach from. Your organisation can switch individual sources off.
Academic publications
Journal articles, open-access repositories, theses and publisher abstract pages.
Your organisation's previous submissions
Consented submissions from your own organisation. They stay private to your organisation and are never pooled with other organisations.
Your course materials
Published course content linked to the assignment, so matches with your own teaching material show up too.
The report
A report your reviewers can act on.
Results appear alongside the submission in EduMark Studio, and every check produces a branded PDF report you can download, share and keep with the assessment record.
Overall similarity
One similarity figure for the submission, with overlapping sources counted once.
Identical text, minor changes and paraphrasing
Matches are split into word-for-word copying, lightly edited text and paraphrased passages that restate a source in different words. Paraphrase detection is on by default.
AI writing signals
An estimated share of writing that may be AI-generated, with flagged passages highlighted for human review.
Matched sources with links
Each source is listed with its share of the match and a link back to the original page.
Your organisation's branding
The PDF carries your organisation's name, colour and logo, ready to share with reviewers and moderators.
Methodology
How EduMark Integrity works.
Search finds possible sources. Verification decides what counts. Nothing appears in the report as a match unless the wording can be shown side by side with the source it came from.
- 01
The submission is prepared
Text is extracted from the submitted answer or document after the same malware checks every upload goes through.
- 02
Parallel AI search agents find candidate sources
Separate agents search the internet and academic publications at the same time, while EduMark compares the work directly with your organisation's consented submissions and linked course materials.
- 03
Every match is verified word for word
Each candidate source is retrieved and compared against the submission text. A search result on its own never counts as a match, and paraphrased matches are only kept when the exact wording on both sides can be found.
- 04
AI content is assessed passage by passage
Writing is analysed passage by passage. The report gives an AI-writing estimate and quotes flagged passages exactly from the submission. This signal cannot establish authorship or misconduct on its own.
Good to know
- Similarity figures are calculated from verified matches only, so search agents cannot change a score.
- Quotations and reference lists can be excluded from the similarity figure.
- Paraphrase detection is on by default, alongside identical text and minor changes.
- Web and academic searches use short passages from the submission as search queries.
- The report states its coverage, including any source that could not be reached.
Compared with a standalone checker
Why pay for plagiarism checking twice?
A standalone checker is another contract, another login and another report to cross-reference. EduMark Integrity is part of the workflow you already mark in.
| Feature | EduMark Integrity | Standalone plagiarism checker |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | EduMark Credits per check, from the same pool as your marking | Separate subscription, licence or per-page credits |
| Where results appear | Beside the submission in EduMark Studio | A separate portal or report to cross-check |
| When a limit is exceeded | Your organisation chooses: resubmission, supervisor hold, or flag and continue | Usually handled manually or in another system |
| Release control | Optionally require a report before results are released | Depends on how it is integrated |
| Report branding | Branded PDF with your organisation's name, colour and logo | Typically the vendor's branding |
| Getting started | Switch it on in Settings or per assignment | Separate contract, accounts and integration |
This compares how the service is bought and used. Standalone setups vary by vendor and integration.
Organisation controls
Your limits. Your outcomes.
Your organisation turns EduMark Integrity on in Settings or for individual assignments and sets its own similarity and AI content limits. When a submission goes over them, you decide what happens next.
- Set your own similarity limit
- Set your own AI content limit
- Require a report before release
- Retry or request a report at any time
Send back for resubmission
Return the attempt to the learner with your resubmission rules applied.
Hold for supervisor review
Pause the submission until a supervisor has looked at the report.
Flag and continue marking
Keep marking moving with the report flagged for the marker and reviewer.

Questions about EduMark Integrity
How is EduMark Integrity paid for?
In EduMark Credits, on every plan, including Free. A check of an assignment submission has a fixed credit cost, and standalone scans in the plagiarism scanner, for documents that are not assignment submissions, are charged by length. There is no separate plagiarism subscription. The pricing page shows the current credit costs and the requirements for connecting an external provider.
What does EduMark Integrity check submissions against?
By default, every check searches the internet and academic publications, including journals, open-access repositories, theses and publisher abstracts, using parallel AI search agents. It also compares the work with your organisation's consented previous submissions and the course materials linked to the assignment. Previous submissions stay private to your organisation and are never pooled with other organisations. Your organisation can switch individual sources off.
Does it detect paraphrasing and AI-generated text?
Yes. Paraphrase detection is on by default, so passages that restate a source in different words are reported alongside identical text and minor changes. AI writing analysis estimates how much text may be AI-generated and highlights passages for review. The estimate is a signal to investigate, not proof of authorship or misconduct.
What happens when a submission goes over our limits?
Your organisation sets its own similarity and AI limits and decides what happens when a submission goes over them: send it back to the learner for resubmission, hold it for supervisor review, or flag it and continue marking. You can also require a report before results are released.
Can we keep using Copyleaks or Turnitin?
Yes: connect your own Copyleaks or Turnitin account on any plan, billed by that provider. You can also use Copyleaks through EduMark, paid in credits. Your organisation turns EduMark Integrity on in Settings or for individual assignments, and it sits alongside the other connections. Turning on EduMark Integrity never switches an existing provider automatically.
