Plagiarism and How to Avoid it: Turnitin

Turnitin is an online text-matching tool that checks students' work against existing sources for improper citations or potential plagiarism (Turnitin.com).

Students can access Turnitin via their Blackboard accounts. Once you are enrolled for either a Thesis or a Dissertation, you will have access to Turnitin for the remainder of your time at KAUST. For assistance, please contact the Library for content related questions or the ITHelpdesk for access/system issues.

Researchers who want to check their papers for plagiarism in text-matching software like Turnitin can use iThenticate. This service is provided by the Office of Research Publication Services (RPS). Requests for access to iThenticate can be sent to: https://kaustforms.formstack.com/forms/ithenticate_request.
