It is most effectively used as part of an overall strategy for supporting academic integrity, including for example - raising student awareness, supporting development of study skills, and considering what forms of assessment may reduce opportunities for plagiarism. The system can also be used formatively to help students develop their academic writing.
Once matching text has been flagged up by the system, academic staff can then determine if the content has been used inappropriately. A similarity report is automatically produced, which highlights any text matching a source in the database and provides links to the sources of these matches. When assignments are submitted to Turnitin, the text is compared with sources in the Turnitin database, which include websites, online journals, newspapers and e-books, as well as student work submitted either at Bristol or other institutions. Turnitin is a text-comparison system which is available through Blackboard. You can also view Turnitin's own service status and opt to subscribe to their status updates at.
