18710 Plagiarism detection

The doctoral dissertation must be checked with the plagiarism detection tool before submitting it to pre-examination. In the case of an article-based dissertation, only unpublished parts (Abstract and manuscripts of scientific articles) will be checked. Plagiarism detection will be carried out with Turnitin, which is integrated in online learning environment eLearn.

1. Supervisor delivers the name of the eLearn course to the doctoral researcher.
2. The doctoral researcher uploads the manuscript of the dissertation to Turnitin assignment as a single file (.doc or .docx)
3. The doctoral researcher informs the supervisor when the report is ready.
4. The supervisor reviews the plagiarism detection report and discusses it with the doctoral researcher if necessary.

The doctoral researcher may independently check the previous versions of the dissertation and the manuscripts of the scientific articles in Student Turnitin.
