The University of Otago subscribes to Turnitin, a similarity report generator which can be used to assist with academic integrity, and which is integrated into Aoroa Brightspace, Blackboard, and Moodle. Your lecturer can create a Turnitin assignment in these platforms that allows you to submit your document so a similarity report can be generated from your work. The report can help:
- Avoid unintentionally plagiarising existing material
- Improve your academic integrity by establishing good referencing practices
- Improve your writing
- Remind you about citing your sources
Further information
Turnitin is not licensed to allow submissions from staff and cannot be used for checking personal research.
An alternative product for checking personal research is iThenticate (staff may want to discuss obtaining iThenticate credits with their department).
