Turnitin

This course employs plagiarism-detection software, Turnitin, for some assignments. Turnitin compares submitted work to sources available on the internet, archived databases of essays, journals, books, and other publications, and its database of assignments submitted in the past at Emory and other universities. Work that generates concerns about originality or citation methods will be reviewed and submitted to the Honor Council as appropriate. This software does not substitute for the judgment of the instructor and other authorities in the detection of plagiarism, and other methods may be employed in this course to determine that all work abides by the standards set forth in the Honor Code.

You will find an overview of TurnItIn and how it works below but if you'd like to dig a little deeper, you can visit the TurnItIn Demo Links to an external site. or read through the Canvas Plagiarism Framework on the TurnItIn website Links to an external site..  

You will turn in a TurnItIn submission the same way you turn in any other essay submission. However, a TurnItIn paper will be evaluated for originality and provided with an Originality Score and annotations of where your work may resemble existing sources. We encourage you to submit your assignment early so you can review the Originality Report and properly cite or modify your paper and resubmit it in order to avoid losing points or being referred to the Honor Council.

Viewing the Turnitin Results 

1. To view the Turnitin report open Speed Grader. There will be a percentage figure in front of the file name on the right side of the Speed Grader. Click this percentage to view the Turnitin report. The percentages are color-coded based on the amount of content matches.

2. On the right side of the report there is a column of icons. Clicking the red one at the top that contains the matching percentage will expand the right column to show the top sources in which matching content was identified.

3. View top sources for matched content.

4. The next icon will show all matched sources.

5.The icon that looks like a funnel allows you to set parameters on sources that are excluded from the report. The icon below that allows you to turn off all exclusions.
