Turnitin text-matching reports
Turnitin is text-matching software, and a tool for students and lecturers to check for a level of similarity between student assignments and other texts. You can run a Turnitin check over your work at any time while you are writing your assignment. If you find that you are issued with a report that indicates that considerable sections of your work have used the words of others inappropriately, then there is much you can do before you submit this to your lecturer, provided that you have allowed yourself some time to correct your referencing errors.
(NOTE: Turnitin will show you where you have copied the words of another person, but it will NOT tell you whether you referenced your writing correctly. This is solely your responsibility.)
