The idea
Run a plagiarism check on your document before you submit it. Folio highlights passages with potential matches against academic databases and shows the matching source. Not just a web search: a proper check against the same kind of databases your university uses.
Why it matters
Most universities run plagiarism checks on submission. Catching issues before you submit, especially accidental ones from poor paraphrasing or missing quotation marks, saves real pain. An unintentional plagiarism flag can delay your submission, trigger a review process, or worse. Having a pre-submission check built into the same tool where you write means you can fix problems in context, before they become problems.
Where we are
Not built. This would require a third-party integration with academic plagiarism databases, and there's no timeline for it.
What Folio does check today: Quote Check compares every quotation against the text of the source you cited, and the Reference list check (free on every plan) checks a typed reference list against CrossRef, OpenAlex and arXiv.
Upvote this if it's on your wishlist. It helps us prioritize.
