TurnItIn (Plagiarism Detection)

Turnitin is an electronic plagiarism prevention application. Student work submitted to Turnitin is compared to millions of articles, other student-submitted papers, and other original sources in the Turnitin database. Turnitin then produces an “originality report” for either student or instructor review.
