Plagiarism recognition

With Turnitin, you can check digital documents for suspicion of plagiarism, evaluate texts, and give your students initial feedback. The anti-plagiarism software recognizes basic matches with other scientific texts and lists these in an easily viewable manner.

• Paper Assignment: Text analysis with lists of all matches between the submitted text and possible sources, inserting comments and tips by instructors, individual evaluation of defined criteria, various report overviews. This is the base assignment of all other assignment types.
• PeerMark Assignment: Evaluation of a text using feedback of other students.
• Revision Assignment: Students can overwrite previous submissions and work on it again.
• Reflection Assignment: Students have the possibility to write about what they have learned, reflection assignments do not receive originality reports and grades.
• Formats for upload: MS Word, WordPerfect, RTF, PDF, PostScript, HTML, Plain-Text-Format (.txt), ODT

AI recognition is now available for English texts in Turnitin. The Similarity Report automatically displays a special tab for AI recognition. However, the results of the check should be interpreted with caution, as the report is not yet fully developed.

Detailed instructions and information on AI detection, supported file formats and other guidelines that must be observed when uploading texts can be found on the Turnitin pages on "AI writing detection" and in an FAQ.
