iThenticate – plagiarism prevention tool

Information for PhD students

The iThenticate tools checks your uploaded work against a database that contains millions of sources. It is therefore normal that matches are found, especially if you've used quotes and referenced correctly. The similarity score simply highlights any matching areas in your work so your supervisor can use this as an investigative tool to determine if the match is or is not acceptable. You can apply advanced settings to ensure that the report meets the faculty's requirements.
