How does it work?

User A uploads a document. It goes into your organization's private repository. One year later, User B uploads a document. iThenticate scans this submission and finds that 20% of the text on User B's submission is identical to User A's submission.

When Show paper match details is enabled, any matches will appear in the source overview panel as 'Submitted works'. By default the source will be open on the Source view. This shows an excerpt of the submission with the matching text highlighted. If available, the Details view will show the following information:

  • The name of the user who submitted the manuscript
  • The date the file was uploaded
  • The manuscript title

Select View Full Text to see the entire submission with the matching text highlighted.
