What we do: Turnitin, Similarity Reduction & Plagiarism Remediation
We combine academic editing, forensic similarity analysis, and policy-aligned remediation to resolve flagged items effectively. Our services are aimed at theses, dissertations, journal submissions, coursework, and research reports.
- Identify and prioritise issues in Turnitin/similarity reports.
- Produce a remediation plan that maps directly to your institution’s policy.
- Edit and rewrite text to reduce similarity while preserving academic integrity.
- Provide documentation for appeals, resubmissions, or supervisor review.
Why a remediation plan matters
Institutions require more than a cleaned document; they require a documented process that shows you addressed the issue responsibly. A remediation plan:
- Demonstrates you understand the policy breach and the corrective steps taken.
- Provides a timeline and evidence of changes for examiners or academic integrity panels.
- Increases likelihood of a positive outcome on resubmission or appeal.
Our experience and expertise
Our team includes academic editors and integrity specialists with extensive experience in South African institutional policies and Turnitin workflows. We understand how different faculties interpret similarity thresholds and what documentation is accepted by review panels.
- Academic editors with advanced degrees and experience across disciplines.
- Turnitin-savvy analysts who read reports beyond the overall similarity index.
- Specialists who draft remediation documentation in the formats institutions expect.
