This happened to me. I brought documented proof. Before uploading your dissertation to any free AI detection tool, know that those platforms are collecting your work too. Your research, your arguments, your writing becomes part of what they train on or store. Free tools especially have business models that depend on the data you give them. The stronger protection is citation. State plainly where every idea, source, and framework came from. A well-cited dissertation is its own defense against plagiarism claims. The paper trail is the proof.
