Turnitin Plagiarism Detection

Turnitin

Our campus has a site license for Turnitin - a program that helps faculty members detect plagiarism in student writing.

• Papers are submitted electronically to www.turnitin.com, either by the instructor or by the student.
• Instructors must set up a course page for each class, using an institutional user number and password.
• Turnitin compares the submissions to resources on the public Internet, to previous submissions of student papers, and to some licensed resources, including ProQuest.
• Turnitin training manuals and videos

Contact lib-turnitin@umd.umich.edu via e-mail or Ask-A-Librarian for more information or assistance.
