Turnitin is a leading plagiarism detection and academic integrity tool that compares submitted documents against a vast database of academic publications, websites, and student papers.

Turnitin analyzes text similarities by comparing your document with billions of online sources and academic content, then generates a similarity report highlighting matched sections.

Most similarity reports are generated within a short time after submission, although processing times may vary depending on system demand and document size.

No. A similarity score indicates matched text, but it should be reviewed carefully, as properly cited references and commonly used phrases can also contribute to the score.

Turnitin offers AI writing detection features for eligible institutions, helping educators identify content that may have been generated using AI tools.
