About Turnitin
The Thesis Comparison System, also known as the Plagiarism Comparison System or Academic Misconduct Detection System, serves as a crucial tool in preventing academic plagiarism and assessing the originality of written content. Its methodology involves submitting written reports, academic articles, and dissertations to the system, which then compares them against online literature resources and the system's internal database. The system calculates the percentage of words (or paragraphs) that bear similarity to existing texts and highlights potential sources. Authors can subsequently make adjustments to ensure that the text has been thoroughly reworked, and that the citation format of referenced documents is accurate and comprehensive, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the text. This process contributes to the text's credibility and safeguards against academic plagiarism. We would like to emphasize the importance of effectively utilizing the plagiarism comparison system to identify paragraphs that may require review and revision. Nonetheless, it is crucial to note that the comparison system functions as a supplementary tool, and the similarity percentage may vary based on the subject area and the specific comparison system used. It is essential to understand that the percentage alone does not constitute proof of plagiarism.
