  1. TurnItIn

  2. Originality • TurnItIn checks your paper for originality • The majority of papers submitted through D2L are run through turnitin • An originality report is created

  3. What sources are compared to my work? • Billions of internet documents (online papers, journals, websites, etc) • Archived internet data that is no longer available on the live web • A bank of previously submitted papers (at OU and other institutions)

  4. What is the Originality Report? • The originality report gives a summary of matching similar areas of text found in your paper as compared to its search of multiple documents and sources. • This report will appear as a percentage • The higher the percentage, the higher amount of matching text that was found (i.e. the words in your paper closely match the words in another document) • Percentages show in rages with matching colors

  5. What does it mean? • This report gives professors a tool to locate text similar to your work. It does not necessarily mean you plagiarized in your paper. • It is left to the professor to determine if proper citation was used or if plagiarism occurred. • Papers with a higher number of citations are expected to have a higher percentage. • Ex. evidence based practice paper • Papers without as many citations are expected to have very low percentages. • Ex. Family of origin paper

  6. What does the instructor see? • The instructor will see each submission with its corresponding rating on their D2L account.

  7. Then what? • The instructor can click on each individual percentage to view a complete breakdown of each incidence of matching • This breakdown will include where each similar text was found within the paper and what percentage of entire paper was matched • The instructor can then click on each similarity to find it in the paper to see how it was used and cited. • Obviously, if a phrase is identical to another source, as long as it is properly identified, it won’t be plagiarism

  8. Student Use of turnitin • Some instructors can select an option for students to be able to use turnitin BEFORE they submit a paper on D2L.
