Turnitin Works to Reduce Unoriginal Content and Plagiarism Research results reveal that when secondary schools and higher education institutions use Turnitin® consistently and over a period of years, students become better writers and researchers—they create work with more original content and learn appropriate ways to use and cite source material. With continued use of Turnitin, educators can reinforce appropriate ways to use information year after year, across all disciplines. Today's educators are struggling to promote academic integrity at all levels as they develop tomorrow's writers and researchers. Independent research studies reveal that student cheating, fueled by heated competition and pressure, is pervasive. Turnitin helps motivate students to produce more original, properly cited work—giving teachers a powerful opportunity to teach about plagiarism. Download our effectiveness whitepaper.
