What is turnitin software?

[martinemma]

Turnitin is an online software that checks student-submitted academic work for text similarity against a large database of internet pages, previous student papers, and academic publications. It generates a similarity report with a score and highlights matching texts, which helps the CIPD helper in Ireland assess originality and students improve their writing skills by identifying areas for revision, like improper paraphrasing or citations. Also, it does not detect plagiarism itself but identifies potential matches that an instructor then reviews to determine if plagiarism has occurred. It also acts as a learning tool for students to get help with their tasks and ensure to submit high-quality work.
