Scribbr also partners with Turnitin for enhanced AI detection accuracy.

Which citation software does Scribbr use?

The Scribbr Citation Generator is developed using the open-source Citation Style Language (CSL) project and Frank Bennett’s citeproc-js, the same technology used by dozens of other popular citation tools, including Mendeley and Zotero.

Can Scribbr’s AI content detector tool detect plagiarism?

Scribbr’s AI Detector identifies how AI was used to create your content, notifying you if each section was AI-generated, AI-generated & AI-refined, human-written & AI-refined, or human-written. It offers feedback on every section, clarifying exactly which sentences appear to contain AI-generated content, making the editing process easier. The AI Detector is separate from the Plagiarism Checker, which focuses on detecting similarities to existing sources.
