If a manuscript plagiarism checker finds any issues, your published work may be retracted, you may lose tenure or funding, and even worse, you will likely lose credibility as a researcher. One would think open online access would make it easier to do a plagiarism check online, but that\u2019s not always true. According to Wendy Sutherland-Smith, an expert in different <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">types of plagiarism in research<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> from Deakin University, \u201cCorrect attribution practices can also be more difficult to understand, particularly when seemingly free, widely available online information still requires referencing.\u201d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"><sup>2<\/sup>\u202fHence, it\u2019s important to know what constitutes plagiarism, so you can avoid it when writing your manuscript.

Another form of deliberate plagiarism is when authors pass off other\u2019s ideas or techniques as their own instead of doing the required research. Having manuscript plagiarism checkers proves very useful in pointing out if a piece of work is plagiarised or original.
