About iThenticate

What is iThenticate?

iThenticate is a Web-based service that identifies material that matches text from documents found in an extensive database. Highlighted text will include text that has been properly quoted and cited so it is not necessarily plagiarized. You'll just need to verify that every highlighted section has been properly quoted, summarized, or paraphrased. As a result, iThenticate makes it easier for you to identify and attribute any material in your manuscript that you may have unintentionally plagiarized.

Common Uses for iThenticate

• Continuously review manuscript drafts to identify and resolve any citation errors
• Collaborate with co-authors, peers, or editors as the manuscript is reviewed and revised
• Ensure that the final work, whether grant proposal, dissertation/thesis, or journal article protects the author and institution’s reputation
