About Turnitin

Turnitin is the global leader in evaluating plagiarism and developing rich feedback.  Launched in 1997, It is an internet based service created by iParadigms, LLC. Typically Universities, Institutes and high schools buy licences for submitting documents to identify similarity to existing sources and help students learn to avoid plagiarism and improve their writing.

Turnitin’s comprehensive plagiarism prevention system allows quick and effective checks to all research work in a fraction of the time necessary to scan a few suspects’ papers using a search engine. It checks for potential unoriginal content by comparing submitted papers to several databases using a proprietary algorithm. It scans its own databases, and also has licensing agreements with large academic proprietary databases.
