iThenticateTM:
- The University of Michigan Office of Research is now providing a plagiarism detection software application, iThenticateTM, for faculty use.
- The iThenticate system is designed to verify originality in published works and research proposals. It allows you to compare the text of your uploaded documents against the internet and a content database of over 150 million source materials (e.g., periodicals, journals, newspapers, scholarly articles, abstracts, books, archived web pages).
- For more information and links to training, see the UMOR website (http://research-compliance.umich.edu/research-integrity/plagiarism-detection) and the FAQs, which can be found below.
