Turnitin: Turnitin is an online software program that can detect similarities between an existing work and your submitted work. When you submit a work to Turnitin, the proprietary software compares that work to Turnitin database. Similarities are instances when your words match words found in other works in the Turnitin database. Turnitin database contains billions of works, such as:
Web Pages (blogs, organizational websites, Wikipedia, etc.)
Articles (scientific journals, book reviews, abstracts, etc.)
Other Student Papers (your own work, and the work of others).
A Similarity Report is generated after the Turnitin software has completed comparing your work to the contents of its database. It is also known as an Originality Report. Turnitin detects similarities, and not necessarily plagiarism. Please contact the librarian of the institute to set up your new Turnitin account.
