GETTING STARTED WITH THE TURNITIN PLAGIARISM SERVICE

What is Turnitin?

Turnitin is an on-line service that checks documents for originality.

It searches the Internet to compare uploaded documents (e.g. assignment submissions) with previously uploaded documents, web page content and published material.

Turnitin then produces an originality report which highlights any work that has been copied from other sources.
