Turnitin® is an online text matching tool in MyCanvas that scans your assignments against a database of existing web pages, academic books, and articles, and identifies improper citations or potential plagiarism.
When you upload your assignment, the content is compared to the Turnitin® database. A similarity report is generated, indicating how much of your writing matches writing from previously existing sources (given as a %), and highlights all phrases that match the text in an existing source.
Student Success Tip: Submit your assignment in advance of the due date and use the similarity report to review and revise content!
