Introduction

"TurnitinUK is an online service hosted at www.submit.ac.uk that enables institutions and staff to carry out electronic comparison of students' work against electronic sources including other students' work. The service is based in the UK and accessed via standard web browsers. JISC hopes that this service will be a valuable support tool for institutions, staff and students in their efforts to prevent and detect plagiarism." (TurnitinUK Website, 2008)
