Turnitin

In today’s digital learning

environment, academic integrity is

increasingly under threat.

The availability of online resources is contributing to a

growing global problem of plagiarism across all

educational sectors.

Turnitin is the world-leading plagiarism prevention

system trusted by 15,000 institutions in 140 countries.

Available 24-7, it’s web-based and there’s no need to

install any software.

It works by comparing submitted work to a database

of more than 45 billion content items including web

pages, student papers, journals and other

academic content.

Turnitin is a complete tool for detecting unoriginal

work and teaching students academic writing and

referencing skills.

Turnitin allows instructors to identify

unoriginal content and encourages

students to learn to reference correctly.

Instructors receive a clear, concise Originality Report

revealing colour-coded sources that correspond to

matching passages in the student paper. Instructors

can compare the original material to the student

paper and quickly determine if a match

is problematic.

Evidence

of effectiveness

A national rollout of Turnitin in

the UK, coupled with advice and

guidance, resulted in a 59% overall

reduction in unoriginal essay

content between 2005 and 2012.

In 2005, 7.7% of work submitted to Turnitin was

flagged as having more than three quarters of

unoriginal - or potentially plagiarised - content. By

2012, that figure had dropped to 3.1%.
