Submitting assignments using Turnitin
When submitting written work for assessment, some courses give you the possibility to have your academic work checked by Turnitin.
Discover Turnitin
Turnitin is a text-matching tool that checks the similarity of your work with existing texts. It can give you indications of where your text may benefit from revisions, facilitating the identification of missing citations and references, or passages that you quoted incorrectly or paraphrased insufficiently. Turnitin can thereby help you to avoid plagiarism.
At the University of Luxembourg, Turnitin is embedded in Moodle and is offered for courses in bachelor and master programmes. Turnitin is managed by course instructors. If activated by the responsible course instructor, Turnitin results will be available to students.
In order to use Turnitin in courses for which it is available, simply submit your assignment in Moodle and it will be uploaded directly to Turnitin for text-matching.
iThenticate
For PhD students, the University of Luxembourg provides an access to iThenticate.
iThenticate is also a text matching tool that is designed to be used by authors and co-authors to ensure the originality of written work before publication. The software compares your document with a large database of web pages, academic books and articles. In order to gain access to this tool, please contact the Office of doctoral studies (BED) at phdstudies@uni.lu.
You can find the information in the welcome guide available on the Organising your doctoral studies webpage.
