Along with checking for grammar, mechanics, spelling, and word usage, Grammarly can check for plagiarism.

Note - Grammarly's plagiarism review only checks against some internet sources, not books or articles. Grammarly does not scan content behind paywalls or require a login (like library article databases).

• Login to your Grammarly account.
• Click on the New option with the piece of paper icon.      
• Copy your paper and paste the contents into the Grammarly window
• A pop-up appears asking you to set goals for the Grammarly review. You can close out of this since you only use Grammarly to check for plagiarism.
• Click "Plagiarism" in the bottom right-hand corner of the web page. 
• Grammarly may take a few minutes to scan the entire document for matches.
• Once the scan is complete, you will see that Grammarly tells you what percentage of the content it identified as matching with content from the internet. 

Grammarly offers tailored feedback for those who speak multiple languages and want to improve their English writing skills. The feedback focuses on grammar, phrasing, and natural word choice, which will help you spend less time editing and rewriting your messages.
