Citation and Plagiarism Risk Audit of Your Own Draft

Find passages that need citation or rewording before you submit.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Audit my draft for citation and plagiarism risk. The draft text: [DRAFT_TEXT]. My sources with the passages I used: [SOURCES_AND_PASSAGES]. The citation style: [CITATION_STYLE]. The institution's rules, if I have them: [INSTITUTION_RULES].

Identify sentences that closely follow a source without quotation marks or citation, ideas that need a citation, quotes without page numbers, citations without a matching reference, and references not cited. Make a table with Passage, Possible source, Issue, and Fix (quote and cite, paraphrase with citation, add citation, remove). Calculate the share of the draft that is directly quoted with the arithmetic. Show two corrected examples. Provide a final checklist and a reminder to check the institution's policy on collaboration, AI use and acceptable assistance [VERIFY].

You are helping me fix my own work. Do not suggest ways to avoid detection.

Add a worked example with an original source sentence, a too-close paraphrase, and a better paraphrase with citation, and a share-of-quotation calculation (320 quoted words out of 2,400 is 13.3 percent). Remind me to check how my institution treats quotation limits [VERIFY].

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Passage | Possible source | Issue | Fix
'Retrieval practice improves long-term retention across ages.' | Source B p.14 | close paraphrase, no citation | add citation
'...' (14 words) | Source C p.3 | exact words without quotation marks | add marks and page
Reference list: Source F listed but not cited.
Quoted words: 320 of 2,400 = 13.3 percent. Check my institution's guidance on quotation limits [VERIFY].
Next steps: re-read Source B and write the idea from memory with the citation, move the exact 14 words into quotation marks with the page, delete Source F or cite it in the text, and run a final check of every in-text citation against the list.
