FAQ
Introduction to Turnitin
Turnitin is a web-based text-matching software system designed to check electronically submitted documents for similarity against other documents in their database.
Turnitin has three primary databases. Each one can be used to help identify different types of plagiarism.
Global student papers database:
This database discourages student collusion, the most common form of plagiarism, by comparing submitted documents against 15 years’ worth of student papers.
Internet archive:
This database compares matches against individual internet sources to detect potential copy and paste plagiarism.
Premium scholarly publications:
This database allows researchers and students to easily compare original work against published works from around the world.
