What is iThenticate?
iThenticate (http://www.ithenticate.com/) is a plagiarism prevention tool that compares documents (including journal article manuscripts, proposals, research reports, thesis, and dissertations, etc.) against millions of published works available through the Internet and subscription databases.
Who can apply for a iThenticate account?
Accounts will be created only for UPRM faculty or researchers.
Graduate and undergraduate students can ask their research advisor to request an iThenticate account, and they can generate a report of the document.
If you wish to open an account, please complete our service form. Make sure to fill out all the required sections.
GRIC librarians will generate reports for UPRM faculty, administrators, and students. Just send the document to gric@uprm.edu. Librarians will upload it to iThenticate and provide access to the originality report. Feel free to schedule a virtual or in-person consultation to discuss the results of the originality report.
How can I use iThenticate?
Authorized faculty/researchers can use iThenticate to verify research products such as thesis, dissertations, proposals, funding agencies reports, and articles for publication.
For class assignments including graduate seminars, or other course related projects please use Turnitin.
