What is Turnitin?

Turnitin is a text matching software designed to support academic integrity and help students avoid plagiarism.

Once an assignment is submitted through Turnitin it will be compared with a huge database of:

  • previously submitted work
  • billions of webpages
  • documents like periodicals, journals, and publications

Instances of text flagged as similar or matching to other sources will be shown in a similarity report.
