- ABOUT TURNITIN (Theses, Assignments, etc.): https://www.turnitin.com/
Turnitin is a web-based system used to prevent plagiarism and improper citations in student projects. Theses, projects, and other works uploaded to the system are automatically compared against a vast database of sources, and citations, similarities, and improper use of sources are identified to generate a similarity report. In addition to academic databases, journals, and publications, Turnitin’s database contains over 1 billion student assignments and over 72 billion web pages.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
*When uploading a thesis to Turnitin, you must select “STORAGE” under “optional settings.” Issues have arisen with Turnitin due to documents being accidentally sent to the repository and users deleting them from their own accounts (resulting in 100% similarity, for example). You can request permanent deletion to remove a document from your account. If a document is deleted directly, it is not removed from the repository even if it is deleted from your account, and several steps must be taken to ensure the document is removed from the repository. Therefore, to avoid any inconvenience, we strongly urge you to exercise caution in this matter.
ABOUT ITHENTICATE (Article):
*As per our contract, the Ithenticate program is used exclusively for scanning articles. If theses, assignments, or similar publications are scanned, the company will initiate legal proceedings.
For plagiarism detection of publications other than articles (theses, etc.), please use the Turnitin program.
*Using iThenticate for the editorial process of a journal not published by our university violates the EKUAL license.
NOTE: The iThenticate platform has been updated to version 2.0, and active accounts have been automatically migrated to the new platform. You can create a new password and log in to the system using the activation email (Welcome to iThenticate) sent to your institutional email address from noreply@turnitin.com.
