- Advisor's Confirmation: The [Certificate of Plagiarism Check for Dissertation] (including similarity %, total page count, and advisor's opinion) must be directly verified and completed by the Academic Advisor.
- Plagiarism Criteria: There is no absolute similarity (%) threshold. The Academic Advisor is responsible for reviewing the similarity percentage and sources to determine if plagiarism has occurred.
- Prevention of Misconduct: The Advisor must verify that the total page count of the actual thesis matches the page count shown on the [Current View] and [Digital Receipt] reports to prevent partial uploads intended to manipulate results.
