System Introduction：
In 2022, the Ministry of Education commissioned the National Central Library(NCL) and the technical team of National Taiwan Normal University to develop the "WriteAid Similarity Scanner"(WASS) based on the data of the "National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan" (NDLTD -Taiwan). WASS is provided for use by universities and colleges nationwide.
WASS is built to support current Taiwan graduate students in their thesis or dissertation writing. It assists and encourages students to self-study the techniques of academic writing and actively confirm the originality of their own work. The system is not designed for commercial use, but only for current graduate students who have not yet submitted their thesis or dissertation to NDLTD-Taiwan.

When submitting documents to your department or advisors, please continue to use the Turnitin system to generate similarity reports. This trial is solely for the National Central Library's system testing and will not be used in any graduation procedures at our university.

Trial Restrictions：
1.The NCL only provides trial access to "graduating master's and doctoral students" and does not offer access to advisors. Students can download the detection results for their advisors' review.
2.Each student is allowed up to 5 detections. The first 3 detections have no time limit (approximately within 30 minutes). The 4th and 5th detections require a 24-hour waiting period for results.
3.If the similarity detection exceeds 50%, the system will treat it as an anomaly. Results will not be immediately available and will be reviewed manually by the National Library before notification is sent.
4.For system usage issues, please contact the NCL and fill out their Customer Service Form.( https://reurl.cc/qVobDD )

Online Training：
The NCL will conduct two online training courses on the WriteAid Similarity Scanner System for master's and doctoral students graduating this semester. Please register via the link below.
