Turnitin
Academic honesty verification tool
Turnitin is a plagiarism detection service used by schools and universities.
Students submit papers through the platform, which compares them against a database of academic work, websites, and previously submitted assignments.
Instructors receive an "originality report" highlighting matching text: My Turnitin score came back at 23 percent.
The service has become synonymous with academic integrity enforcement, though critics note it flags legitimate quotations and common phrases.
