Why is Quetext flagging unique content as plagiarised?

Suppose the Quetext report does not generate each time you upload a document; there can be several reasons for that. The factors that cause the problems most often include issues such as a free account upload size exceeding the particular document, unsupported documents, and system issues on the platform. Aside from that, please ascertain that your document is in an acceptable file type i.e. .docx, .pdf, and .txt among others and then re-upload. On the other hand, rule out any maintenance or server problems on the Quetext site and if the issue continues, reach out to their helpdesk.

The plagiarism detection service provided by Quetext Pro allows users to exclude the reference section. You will be able to do this as long as you have the correct citation styles (e.g., MLA, APA, etc.), incorporated in your work. This is because when the system then finds a citation that is correctly cited within the text, the system can be programmed not to scan that area. This is beneficial in academic essays or many other kinds of papers that have footnotes or endnotes with long lists of references to avoid unwarranted plagiarism accusations.

With Quetext, Pro comes with several features including no limit on the word counts for plagiarism checking, a more advanced DeepSearch feature that accesses additional databases, and the capability to print out detailed reports. It even comes with functionalities like exclusion of citations and checking of larger scopes of texts for possible instances of plagiarism which is perfect for business or scholarly purposes.

Some false positives in the Quetext report stem from the fact that common phrases and properly cited text passages are detected as plagiarism by the underlying engine. The other frequent reason is the tool marking the low-risk section of borrowed language that spans across many documents including but not limited to literature reviews or background information. To remedy this, check the content of the stated sections and use common sense to evaluate if they are plagiarized or are just coincidences. Certain phrases or paragraphs may also be flagged as improper use of outside sources if the relevant format is not adhered to.

Getting a plagiarism report from Quetext cannot be performed unless you finish a document scan. After the scanning process is over, go to the page where results are available and you will see a Download Report option, which allows you to download the report. This feature is only accessible to Pro users. The report contains a similarity percentage, a list of highlighted text sections that are plagiarized and their respective sources which are made available for posting or further studies.
