Turnitin is a tool that compares student papers with a vast array of online sources and paper repositories and returns a detailed report on similarities.
| Note: At Brown, Turnitin can only be used within Canvas, by student-submitted papers through assignments. The Turnitin website cannot be used directly for generating reports. When you are setting up your assignments, you can select Turnitin as your Plagiarism Review tool. |
