iThenticate (Ultra)
What is iThenticate?
iThenticate is a text matching software tool, which is used by leading scholarly publishers and research institutions. iThenticate will compare a submission to an extensive database of web pages and scholarly content, and produce a similarity score and report.
iThenticate is available to all UQ staff and Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates.
Why would I use iThenticate?
It has been developed by the producers of Turnitin for academics and researchers who want to review their work prior to publication, to check for originality and to ensure they have cited non-original work appropriately. iThenticate will compare a submission to an extensive database of web pages and scholarly content, and produce a similarity score and report.
iThenticate offers a range of benefits including:
- An intuitive, web-based interface for quickly uploading and checking documents
- Unlike Turnitin, submissions are not stored in a database
- Individuals can delete submissions from their iThenticate account at any time
- Analytics which can provide insight into the content of work submitted over a period of time
- Assistance with carrying out due diligence
- The ability to be used by research groups that need to collaborate on work
- Supporting the Research Conduct and Integrity and Authorship UQ policy
