Before you move on to completing your final draft you need to run your paper through a plagairism check to be sure the work you are about to turn in is yours. This is a very important step. You must test at least five different passages of your paper. Please highlight in your rough draft the passages you chose and print the screen which shows the results of each check. Follow this link to http://www.plagiarismchecker.com to test your paper's authenticity.
After finishing the plagiarism check make any changes you want to make from the peer reviewers' comments. Once you have worked out all the corrections on paper return to the saved rough draft and make the changes there. Be sure to read over the paper after you have made your changes to ensure there are no typos or other errors left. DO NOT simply trust spell check. Remember that while spell check is a great help, it is only just a computer and it CANNOT read. Make any final corrections you need to make before you save your final draft.
