Why VERITAS
What Does a Similarity Report Show?
A Similarity Report highlights passages in your document that match identified sources. The overall percentage is only a starting point: a meaningful assessment requires examining the sources, the length of matching passages and the context in which they appear.
Recognising Quotations
Attributed quotations and translated quotations are distinguished from passages flagged for potential plagiarism review.
Word-for-Word Translations
The system can identify Romanian passages translated from English, even when the wording does not appear directly in Romanian-language sources.
Automatic Source Classification
The system automatically distinguishes scholarly publications, legislation, standards and official documentation to support more precise similarity analysis.
A Professional PDF Report
Receive a clear PDF report with similarity percentages, sources, explanations and colour-coded text.
Email Notification
The check continues in the background, and your report is sent automatically when it is complete.
Academic Similarity Checking
Why Does the Similarity Percentage Need Context?
A document may contain properly attributed quotations, common expressions, legislative text or other legitimate passages that contribute to its similarity percentage. The results should therefore be assessed passage by passage, rather than judged solely by a single figure.
VERITAS highlights sources and classifies the passages identified, helping you use the report to review your document before submission.

Understanding Your Results
How Do You Interpret a Similarity Report?
A Similarity Report should not be reduced to the overall percentage displayed when the check is complete. To interpret the results properly, examine the identified sources, the length of matching passages and the context in which they appear.
The similarity percentage may include properly attributed quotations, common expressions, legislative text or passages that legitimately refer to the same source. Textual similarity does not automatically establish plagiarism: what matters is how the identified passages are used and attributed. The report is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute an official determination of plagiarism.
The VERITAS report lets you review passages and their associated sources individually, helping you identify text that needs checking or revision before you submit your document.
