Anti-Plagiarism

Content for lecturers

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
