Thesis Check
Check your thesis before you hand it in
The hours before submission are the wrong time to discover an unparaphrased passage or an ungrounded claim. Thesis Check runs one “ready to submit?” pass over your final thesis (originality, grounding, references, and your AI-use disclosure), then hands you a submission-ready file and an honest guide to running your institution’s binding Turnitin or iThenticate check.
What Thesis Check does
An originality pre-check of your real prose
Scans your actual manuscript text (not the model's restated claims) against CiteDash's reference corpus, flagging any passage too similar to a source, grouped by chapter with the matched paper and a similarity score. It's a heads-up to paraphrase or quote-and-cite before anyone else looks.
Honest about what it is, and isn't
This is a PRE-check, not a replacement for your institution's report. Turnitin's power is its huge proprietary database and the global student-paper repository, which we don't replicate. CiteDash gets you clean, then hands you off to the binding check, clearly labelled, never dressed up as Turnitin.
Every claim grounded
It counts any claim the Fact Checker hasn't confirmed, so nothing ungrounded slips into your thesis. CiteDash's invariant holds: every citation resolves to a real paper, and there are no free-text references anywhere in your document.
Reference integrity, checked
Confirms every reference resolves to a real, cited source (no fabricated papers, no orphaned citations), the reference list examiners and journals expect.
Your AI-use disclosure, ready
An audited AI-use disclosure statement, generated from your project's real audit trail and exportable as PDF or DOCX: the declaration more institutions now ask for, alongside your thesis.
A submission-ready file + the self-match warning
Download your compiled thesis (DOCX / PDF) and follow the guide to running the binding Turnitin / iThenticate check at your institution, with the one warning that saves theses: never submit to a student repository unofficially, or your official submission flags ~100% against itself.
An honest pre-check
Turnitin’s API is licensed to institutions, not students. Most universities run it inside their own LMS. So Thesis Check doesn’t pretend to be the formal report: it catches what you can fix, produces the artifacts your institution asks for, and points you to the binding check, with the self-match trap made unmissable.
Works with
Thesis Check is the last stop in the 17 connected tools (it reads the grounded claims, references, and disclosure the rest of CiteDash already produced), so the check is honest by construction.
