Turnitin

Service Overview

Turnitin is an Internet-based text matching software that scans submitted work, and compares it to material in public websites, academic journals and to assignments concurrently or previously submitted to Turnitin. After scanning, sections of a submission are outlined in colour in an originality report. Turnitin holds a database of all student papers previously submitted worldwide, current and archived internet web sites, periodicals/journals, books and other publications.
