GSBS is using Turnitin (the anti-plagiarism tool) to help assess the orginality of any piece of work you write.
Sign in to Turnitin, or create your Student account. Once you have entered Turnitin:
The similarity report will identify areas where your work is similar text to other works in the Turnitin databases. Similarity reports do not take citation or quotation into account, so each similarity report should be reviewed and interpreted by an instructor.
If you would like to get a similarity report for work not associated with a class, please contact Tess Grynoch (tess.grynoch@umassmed.edu) to be included in the library's Turnitin class.
If you need any help in interpreting your report or using Turnitin, please contact Tess Grynoch (tess.grynoch@umassmed.edu).
