Plagiarism and academic integrity checker
AWCN Plagiarism: check every submission for originality, against your own archive
Checks participant papers against the institution’s own document archive, with similarity scores, risk bands, highlighted matches and downloadable PDF reports.

One platform, built for colleges and training institutions
Built for the Army War College Nigeria, AWCN Plagiarism checks every participant submission against the College’s own archive of papers and reference documents. It finds copied, lightly edited and reworded passages, separates properly quoted and cited text from real concerns, and flags tricks used to hide copying.
