Faq, Help /
Is it safe to post my essay here? Or should I be worried about Plagiarism? [175]
In response to this question:
"I have written two essays and would like a review. My question is how can I keep others from taking my entire essay and using it as their own if anyone on the internet can see it? I don't mind others seeing my essay after I start college (ensuring someone doesn't take my essay and submit it before I do)."In simple terms:
1. You post your essay under YOUR OWN name (the one found in your profile).
2. The essay is indexed in search engines within several minutes to make sure it shows your name and the publication date.
3. Now - EVEN IF - someone copies your essay, they cannot claim they were the authors because the essay had already been published under your name and in the past date. Of course, it only applies to content that has never been published before (ie. you are not allowed to copy an existing essay/content from another site and post it here).
It works the same in other online publications; you may copy-paste an article from the New York Times but if you tried to claim authorship, you would not be able to prove it (and you would be put in jail for theft ; ).
