Plagiarism.org & Turnitin

Any staff currently using turnitin.com OriginalityCheck to help their students with proper citation and referencing may also find plagiarism.org of interest.

Plagiarism.org is an information resource created by turnitin which contains guidelines on plagiarism and best practices for ensuring originality in written work. It includes an "ask the experts" feature, FAQs, and a resource section with downloadable handouts for students.  Please note that some   information may refer to other resources not currently available to SPD staff.

Any lecturers who would like to get started with turnitin should contact the Library to request an instructor account.  This will allow you to create classes and assignments for your students to register in and submit their own assignments to.
