Once confirmed, you’ll be provided with access to the iThenticate tool where you will be able to submit manuscripts to compare against the corpus of published academic and general web content in Turnitin’s database. When you apply for the Similarity Check service, Turnitin will check that they can access your existing content via the full-text URLs in your Crossref metadata. Turnitin follows these URLs and indexes the content found at each location. Its CIS accesses our metadata daily to collect the full-text content links provided by our members within their metadata. Turnitin indexes members’ content directly via its Content Intake System (CIS). This means that the service is only available to members who are actively publishing DOI-assigned content and including in their metadata full-text URLs specifically for Similarity Check.

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.
