    I understand that you can check only articles through copyspace if they already published..how about articles from your files?

    I don't know of any other sites but you could copy and paste a sentence or two (or three consecutive words) into google search, in quotes, and see if it comes up that way.

    You can use DupeFree Pro. Beside Copyscape, this is the tool that I always use.

    I use copyscape to semi-regularly check if people are copying pages from my CPA web site.

    FYI, interestingly, I once found a guy who had copied the entire site... some joker in West Virginia who was pretending to be a CPA...

    Just take a unique sentence of text and copy-paste into Google with quotes.

    Silveraden, try to copy one of your articles in an HTML file, upload it into your sever/domain something like: yourdomain.com/test/article-file.html and try to copyscape that link and then you will find the result.

    Good luck!

    Unfortunately copyscape is not 100% effective. The reason being the restrictions of the Google API, which is all they use. So at best, the information you get is months old and not a full internet search.

    I think my university used one that is based on natural language algorithm, it was quite tough to be able to trick it no matter how you rewrite :)

    Good for the school doesn't mean good for the students :) I think their interests clashed.

    IMHO, TurnItIn is terrible! It always tries to slap me with plagiarising some Arizonan high school students I've NEVER heard of! Plus, it accused me of complete plagiarism when I used the necessary phrase "what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor" in an essay on Tim Berners-Lee.
