Similarity Check subscribers allow Turnitin to index their full catalogue of current and archival published content into the iThenticate database. To participate in Similarity Check, you need to be a member.

If you participate in Similarity Check, not only do you get reduced rate access to iThenticate, but you also have the peace of mind of knowing that any similarity between your published content and manuscripts checked by other publishers will be flagged as a potential issue too.Īs a Similarity Check user, you also see extra features in iThenticate, such as enhanced text-matches within the Document Viewer. More content in the database means greater peace of mind for editors looking to determine a manuscript’s originality. This means that as the number of participants grows, so too does the size of the database powering the service. Similarity Check participants enjoy use of iThenticate at reduced cost because they contribute their own published content into Turnitin’s database of full-text literature.

This report enables editors to assess the originality of the work before they publish it, providing confidence for publishers and authors, and evidence of trust for readers. Similarity Check allows editors to upload a paper, and instantly produces a report highlighting potential matches and indicating if and how the paper overlaps with other work. With editors under increased pressure to assess higher volumes of manuscript submissions each year, it’s important to find a fast, cost-effective solution that can be embedded into your publishing workflows.
