Turnitin and Ithenticate

                                                                          

Turnitin helps avoid plagiarism by checking for citation mistakes or inappropriate copying by comparing it to a massive database of student papers and academic publication. An account can be created by sending an email to turnitin@ku.edu.tr with your @ku.edu.tr account.

                                  

iThenticate is the anti-plagiarism software that is currently used by KU, and it claims to be the “world’s largest comparison of scholarly and professional content.” This software is an optional tool now made available for KU faculty to check their own draft proposals and manuscripts prior to submission, to guard against potential future claims of plagiarism or self-plagiarism. According to the license agreement; users wishing to use the iThenticate system should have minimum Doctoral degree. An account can be created by sending an email to ithenticate@ku.edu.tr with your @ku.edu.tr account.

Citation Management Tools
