    Turnitin is an Internet-based service intended to help identify and prevent plagiarism cases.

 

How does Turnitin work?

  1. Instructors and students submit documents to Turnitin website. 

  2. Turnitin's servers compare documents submitted with:
    - millions of pages of academic journals, books and newspapers,
    - over 4.5 billion pages of the current and archived Internet, and
    - Turnitin's databases of over 10 million student papers. 

  3. The results of the comparison between a student paper and the above sources returns as a color-coded customized Originality Report


The Originality Report

Turnitin Report

The report shows all text matches found, along with the sources of those matches.  The report will guide instructors in deciding whether or not plagiarism has occurred.

NOTE: Faculty should have a clear understanding of plagiarism and should be familiar with the AUB Student Code of Conduct (approved by the Senate on April 5, 2002) for dealing with possible plagiarism cases among their students.
