TURNITIN Plagiarism Checker Application

The web application TurnItIn offers the means and procedures to prevent plagiarism phenomena by collating texts to verify their originality.

The Turnitin Database with the content of which each paper is compared includes:

61+ billion websites. The comparison is not simply made with the content of the openly accessible Internet, based on the security and efficiency of various search engines. TurnItIn indexes on its servers not only current content but also changed and even deleted websites.

637+ million student projects of all levels

160+ million articles from academic books and various publications. Thanks to TurnItIn’s collaboration with the Crossref network, content that is not freely accessible on the Internet is compared.

Turnitin is a web application/tool that does not require any installation. It compares the texts of papers and articles with texts from the internet, with published papers (such as journal and book articles), with papers submitted to Turnitin by other students and with papers in institutional repositories, and detects possible plagiarism in translated text as well.

The creation of an account and access to the TURNITIN service of the University of Ioannina is available ONLY to the Lecturers of the Academic Departments of the University of Ioannina and not to the Students according to the detailed instructions and the relevant manuals.

The support is carried out by a relevant department of the University:
