Educational institutions submit essays and written
assignments to the Turnitin website, which checks the
documents for plagiarism.
Submissions are checked through:
•A current and extensive internet publications
database
•Billions of commercial pages from books, newspapers,
and journals
•Millions of student papers in Turnitin’s repository
(added on for intellectual property)

UWC students will submit their written assignments to
Turnitin, as a deterrent to plagiarism via the web
Turnitin checks for possible plagiarism by comparing
submitted papers to several databases. It scans its own
database(s), and also has licensing agreements with
large academic proprietary databases.
