iThenticate
The iThenticate programme allows the verification of the originality of a (mainly English-language) document before publication, by comparison with open Internet resources and with databases indexed by iThenticate. We do not recommend checking texts in Polish due to the insufficient reference base.
The programme is aimed at WUT researchers and PhD students - the number of accounts is limited. In 2024 there are available:
- 150 accounts
- 600 checks for the WHOLE University
In scope of your account, you should check your own research work (author or co-author).
There is a pool of checking reports available to you (the number visible in your account, on the right-hand side of the screen, is an indication of how many checks currently remain for the whole university, not for an individual account – the tab: Submit a document / XX Documents remaining
).
Each time the same document is uploaded again it is counted as a new check, so please use the programme with caution.
The results of the analysis are presented in the form of a report, which includes:
- similarity indices (for the whole document and for individual sources), which specify in percentage terms the number of borrowings found in the analysed document;
- highlighted fragments of the work that are identical to the texts found in the comparative databases, together with their source.
If the account is found to be inactive for more than 3 months, it will be deactivated and the user will be informed by email. Significant overage may result in a response from the Programme Administrator.
Please submit your application via the registration form (in Polish; email address in the @pw.edu.pl domain required).
