Make sure your hard work is protected from plagiarism and your academic career is based on merit.

We're here to help you

Urkund’s technology can be used as a preventative tool to enhance your learning experiences and make sure to equip you with the knowledge you need throughout your entire career. Make sure to check the referencing standards your university or school uses and always ask your instructor if you are uncertain. Being accused of plagiarism can have severe consequences and is above all – avoidable.
