Turnitin, a plagiarism detection service, is now available to all UMass Dartmouth Faculty

To All Faculty,

Library Services, Information Resources and Technology(LSIRT)is pleased
to announce Turnitin, a plagiarism detection service, is now available
to all UMass Dartmouth faculty.

Turnitin evaluates the originality of students’ work by comparing their
electronic documents to online sources and the Turnitin databases.
Turnitin searches for textual matches from current copy and archived
copies of publicly accessible Internet pages, subscription databases,
and a UMass Dartmouth database of previously submitted work. Once a
paper has been submitted to the database, an originality report is
generated that highlights text matches to other documents. Faculty will
then need to review and evaluate the report to determine if plagiarism
is present.
