18710 Plagiarism detection

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 In the case of an article-based dissertation, only unpublished parts (Abstract and manuscripts of scientific articles) will be checked.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 Moodle.

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

The doctoral candidate may independently check the previous versions of the dissertation and the manuscripts of the scientific articles in Student Turnitin. It will be possible to save the manuscript to the Turnitin database for future purposes.
