iThenticate is a service that can identify passages in uploaded documents that may be plagiarized. iThenticate scans uploaded documents for duplicate or similar passages from it's library of journals and the web. It then returns a score based on the percentage of material it has identified.
Does the score identify a paper as plagiarized?
No. The score implies that a paper might contain plagiarized passages but Faculty must examine the identified passages to make a final determination.
Can a document contain plagiarized content that is not flagged by iThenticate?
Yes. iThenticate compares the uploaded document with it's database of journals and the web. If the material that has been plagiarized is from a source that isn't in the iThenticate database, then iThenticate won't be able to identify those passages.
