Description:
The TTU Library and the Ethics Center invite you to a workshop on how to use iThenticate, an online tool supporting academic integrity that the University Library provides for faculty, staff, and graduate students. iThenticate scans research manuscripts and grant proposals for possible plagiarism against its database of 38+ million academic publications, 45+ billion web pages, and 92+ million news pages, magazines, and books. It then returns a similarity report that highlights excerpts of matching text for the researcher to review.
During the workshop, the attendees will learn how to use the tool as a pre-submission check of papers and proposals; there will be a discussion on how to understand similarity reports and customize report settings.
Free and open to all. Lunch will be provided; please RSVP (Dr. Yi-hui Lee, yi.lee@ttu.edu) by March 23rd.
* this workshop meets part of the NSF training requirements (1 RCR Credit).
