Turnitin is a text-comparison system which is available through Blackboard. When assignments are submitted to Turnitin, the text is compared with sources in the Turnitin database, which include websites, online journals, newspapers and e-books, as well as student work submitted either at Bristol or other institutions.
An "originality report" is automatically produced, which highlights any text matching a source in the database and provides links to the sources of these matches. Once matching text has been flagged up by the system, academic staff can then determine if the content has been used inappropriately. The system can also be used formatively to help students develop their academic writing.
It is most effectively used as part of an overall strategy for addressing plagiarism, including - for example - raising student awareness, supporting development of study skills, and considering what forms of assessment may reduce opportunities for plagiarism.
Turnitin also includes Grademark for online marking (see our case study: Marking using Turnitin Grademark), and Peermark for peer review.
Why use it?
It can support academic integrity, helping students to improve their writing, and reinforcing appropriate ways to use and cite source material.
It can play a part in helping to deter and detect plagiarism, and provides a systematic, quick and easy way for staff to identify matching text.
It is integrated with Blackboard, so it can be easily incorporated in an e-submission workflow.
Considerations
While Turnitin has a number of benefits, staff also need to bear in mind a range of considerations and limitations, which include:
results need to be interpreted by academic staff with subject expertise
it only checks against selected electronic sources (not printed books)
it will not detect similarities in graphical materials, such as diagrams, images or equations
it may highlight "false positives", eg standard discipline-specific phrases, common sentences which - although not original - probably would not be considered plagiarism, or where a student has made a genuine mistake in referencing
it has limited coverage of password-protected/subscription sites (though iParadigms, the developers of the system, say that they regularly negotiate with providers to try to widen the coverage of their database)
the database is more limited for languages other than English
there can be delays (up to 24 hours) in producing the originality report, particularly at busy times.
