HOW IS PLAGIARISM DETECTED?
If the tone or style of the text changes between passages, or if they’re familiar with the source that’s been plagiarized.
Most people also use plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin, which compares your text to a large database of other sources and highlights similarities.
