Scribbr

Scribbr is an online academic support platform that provides a suite of tools and services designed to help students, researchers, and academics improve their written work and ensure it meets formal standards. The platform is centered around four primary offerings: proofreading and editing services, a plagiarism checker, a citation generator, and an AI detection tool. Each component serves a distinct purpose in the academic writing process, from initial drafting to final submission. The proofreading and editing service connects users with professional academic editors who review essays, research papers, theses, dissertations, and other scholarly documents. Editors focus on grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and overall clarity, but they also provide feedback on argument flow, logical coherence, and adherence to academic style guides such as APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard. Users can upload their documents directly to the platform, select a turnaround time, and receive a fully annotated version along with a summary of changes. This service is particularly useful for non-native English speakers who need language refinement, as well as for any student seeking a second set of eyes before submission. The plagiarism checker scans documents against a vast database of academic papers, journals, books, and web content to identify potential instances of uncredited borrowing or unintentional paraphrasing. It generates a detailed similarity report that highlights matched text, provides original source links, and gives a percentage score of copied content. This tool helps users understand where citations may be missing or where rewriting is needed, supporting academic integrity and reducing the risk of plagiarism penalties. It is compatible with multiple file formats
