Plagiarism | Turnitin Originality Check

Turnitin Originality Check is a web-based system that allows student papers to be submitted and checked for plagiarism. It compares student papers with sources available on the Internet, select commercial article databases, and papers submitted at UW-Whitewater and other institutions that use Originality Check. After submitting, an Originality Report is generated for each paper, and the report identifies the matches that the system made, which can then be investigated. This system can help to eliminate the abuse of the Internet as a research tool and may minimize its potentially negative impact on the development of quality reading, writing, and research skills.
