Suppose I want to check an MS for plagiarism which has come for reviewing to me. What is the standard procedure?
We, at Croatian Medical Journal check every submitted manuscript with CrossCheck (iThenticate) and according to our plagiarism detection protocol and the quality of the abstract we make the decision about the MS (peer-review or reject),
There are several plagiarism checker software available. You can check with that.

It's probably fair to say that 'Turnitin' is the most universally recognized plagiarism software tool used worldwide - but, of course, there is an institutional subscription fee
Sometimes it even helps to use Google: copy-paste a sentence there and see if you can find an identical sentence. Of course, you might also find these authors' earlier working paper/conference paper/thesis, but if you find that sentences are copy-pasted from sources with different authors, this is most probably a sign of plagiarism. Also, it may be a sign of plagiarism if the authors have rewritten sentences to some extent but they cite the same authors in these sentences (e.g. the same 5 sources in the same order) as authors of other papers.
Agreed Tiia. One further and similar check is to look to the reference list. If you suspect plagiarism from a particular article or author - does the reference list look similar to a particular article - or are the citations ones that you know the original author refers to frequently in a range of publications?
As a scientific editor & peer-reviewer of journals I had good experiences:
1. I checked the CV and other title under the same author in controlling the article in process.
2. I checked the title/subject or key words related to the article, using Google or Google Scholar.
3. Once, while controlling the references of an article, I came across another article, with a little changes in the title by the same author in another journal- which was excluded from articles in process. We sent a letter to the author with no comment and the article attached to it.
I think the reviewer has an effective role in controlling plagiarism in the 1st phase- he/she must not accept articles not familiar with. You know, YOU can foul the reviewers and even
plagiarism softwares- they are not 100% checking tools.
I have tried to access it but got the message: The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

Please copy-paste this link on your browser...I guess you clicked the link in the previous message...It also had my comment attached to the link and went unnoticed. That's why you got the error message. Please excuse me for this inconvenience.
thanks, Tool find the percentage of originality of the document. If I have to identified which sentence or paragraph is plagiarized then how to do it because i did not find such provision in this tool.
In other to check plagiarism:
1.You can use 'Desktop Plagiarism Checker" .
2. You can copy & past sentences, paragraphs, & phrases in the Google search bar and check how much has been copied.
3. You can give your text (e.g. article, book, etc) to be read by an expert, esp by a friend and someone who really cares about your works and is welling to give expert comments and say where it is a copy of other people's works. You know not all texts could be checked by plagiarism softwares and some people know how to cheat them- they are MECHANICAL tools and nothing is more unique than an expert's mind.
@Majid Rezai-Rad...with due respect to you I must say that it is just impossible to find a friend/expert, who could remember every published/unpublished work in any specific field (leave alone interdisciplinary subjects) and check someone's manuscript for plagiarism. It is even more difficult in today's publication market when there are so many new journals coming out almost everyday. Sorry Sir..:-( I cannot agree with your third opinion.
Dear Jaysankar De
I meant experts who are up-to-date and can check more better and even find a hint based on their expertise that the text would be found in what journal, book, etc. In other words, they can check more thoroughly in their fields by different search tools, sites/journals related to their discipline than other near-closed experts or other different disciplines. The computer/softwares can only check similar texts but man's mind can even find a part of a text, read before, and a like a piece of puzzle fit other close parts to give a better image- of course to gve a hint to an expert to use search tools to complete the puzzle.

Viper is not working in India. Do any of you know free sites/ software for plagiarism test?
All ways named are useful. But my experience as an article author, peer-reviewer, member of editorial boards, and editor-in-charge of academic journals, an delicately selected peer-reviewer expert in the field can be one of the best way to detect plagiarism. Because sometimes, all these electronic methods don't detect the stuff.
