Turnitin

Turnitin helps teachers check students' work for possible plagiarism

Students' papers are compared against the content of three source areas - the Internet, published material and Turnitin's student paper archive build from previously submitted documents - and the result of the analysis with detailed matching information is forwarded to the teacher.

OBS! Turnitin does not determine plagiarism, it just detects matching text.
