PaperRed

What PaperRed is

PaperRed is an academic checking suite. It compares a document against a large literature database for overlap, screens for AI-generated content, and offers text reduction suggestions so students can lower similarity before submitting a thesis or paper.

What you can do with it

• Check a thesis for textual overlap
• Screen sections for AI-generated text
• Reduce similarity in flagged passages
• Prepare report and defence structures
• Review results before submission

Who it is for

• Students writing graduation theses
• Researchers checking manuscripts
• Supervisors screening submissions

What to watch out for

• Similarity scores include citations, standard phrasing and reference lists; a number alone says nothing about misconduct
• Text reduction features exist to lower similarity, and using them to disguise copied or AI-written material is academic misconduct
• AI detection within the suite has the usual reliability limits
• Uploading unpublished work sends it to an external database, which is a real consideration for original research
