How to Avoid Plagiarism : PaperRater.com

Would you like a way to check your paper for plagiarism before you turn it in to your teacher?  How about getting it proofread and graded before you give it to her or him?

PaperRater.com allows you to submit your research paper, and also your works cited page and it will analyze your paper for writing style, correct grammar and plagiarism mistakes.  It will also give you a grade.  Keep in mind that it is grading your sentence structure, spelling and writing style, not so much the content and your arguments in the paper.

If you would like to improve the grade PaperRater gives you, make the suggested corrections and resubmit your paper to see if you have improved your writing.  Then turn in that revised research paper to your teacher with confidence!

Don't forget to tell them what school grade you are in before you submit. PaperRater will also make suggestions for essays, speeches and book reports among other types of writing.  See the tools listed at the bottom of their page if you would only like to check for plagiarism.

There is a permanent link to PaperRater.com in the right-hand column of this webpage and also on the Research Guidelines page.  A link to Easybib has also been added directly under it.

Also check out the link to Vocabulary Builder every day to help improve your writing.  They give a number of new words used in real sentences, so that you can learn them by association besides definition.
