Checklist before final submission

1. Review similarity sourcesLook beyond the overall score. Check matched sources, quoted sections, paraphrased passages and whether citations explain the overlap.
2. Review AI-writing riskUse AI-writing risk as a revision signal. Focus on clarity, original argument, evidence and academic voice rather than chasing an absolute score.
3. Check citation readinessConfirm in-text citations, bibliography entries, reference style, missing page numbers and source context before upload.
4. Prepare file and next actionExport the requested format, keep a revision copy and decide whether you need a similarity check, AI-writing risk review or citation polish.
