Turnitin is a tool that verifies the originality of academic works by comparing texts.
The submitted documents are analysed against different references in Turnitin’s database (webpages, student’s works, journals, publications, etc.). A similarity report is created describing the similarities found between the texts. It is used as a detailed analysis of the content that might not be authentic.
This software is accessible in two ways, taking into account different objectives:
- Moodle U.Porto – for submitting student work
- Institutional Authentication (AAI) – for U.Porto lecturers and researchers who want to check their scientific work
Access via Moodle U.Porto
- Log in to the information system
- Go to your personal page and choose the lateral option "Moodle {indication of the academic year}"
- You will be sent automatically to Moodle U.Porto
Access via Institutional Authentication
- Go to Turnitin Platform;
