CiteRight — Plagiarism & AI Detector
Built for ND, HND, BSc, MSc & PhD Scholars

Submit Your Project Dissertation with Absolute Confidence

Avoid last-minute project defense rejections. Check your chapters for similarity, accidental plagiarism, and AI writing patterns before your supervisor reviews them.

Why Project Pre-Checking is Essential Before Defense

Supervisors and departmental defense panels are stricter than ever. Don't risk delayed graduation over avoidable citation errors.

Accidental Plagiarism

Writing literature reviews often leads to paraphrasing too closely to the original source. CiteRight flags strings of matching text so you can rewrite them in your own voice before your supervisor sees them.

AI False Positive Protection

Even if you wrote every word yourself, rigid academic phrasing can sometimes trigger generic AI detectors. CiteRight shows sentence-by-sentence perplexity heatmaps so you can vary your sentence structures naturally.

Safe Pre-Checking

Unlike some foreign services that index your work into internet repositories, CiteRight never adds your work to public databases. Your defense manuscript stays 100% private.

Student FAQ & Pre-Defense Guidance

Common questions answered about checking research documents before supervisor review.

Will my project paper be stored in a database where my school can see it as a duplicate?

No! This is one of the biggest dangers of unauthorized free tools. CiteRight maintains a strict non-indexing policy for pre-defense checks. Your draft will never be added to a public repository, so when your supervisor runs it through official institutional software, it will not flag against your own previous check.

What similarity percentage is acceptable for final year project defense?

Most Nigerian tertiary institutions, including polytechnics and universities following NUC/NBTE guidelines, consider an overall similarity score below 15%–20% acceptable (excluding standard bibliography, title page, and preliminary pages). Always check your departmental handbook for exact guidelines.

How do I fix highlighted similarities before final submission?

CiteRight highlights matching sentences side-by-side with original source links. If you borrowed an idea, synthesize it in your own words (paraphrase) and provide an accurate in-text citation (e.g., 'Adeyemi, 2023'). If you quoted word-for-word, place the phrase in quotation marks and add the exact page number.

Can I pay with my regular Nigerian bank card or transfer?
