How to Avoid Plagiarism

Turnitin is a service that helps you check that your assignment does not contain plagiarism. You will normally use this service prior to submitting the work for marking.

 

The TEL team, in collaboration with ELS, have produced a full guide to avoiding plagiarism, including downloadable documents and an associated video, which is accessible via Canvas.

 

There is also an ELS video guide with further advice on avoiding plagiarism and feeling more confident in how you use academic sources, available via our self-enrol 'Three By Threes' Canvas videos.

 

Interpreting the Similarity Report will take you to the official Turnitin UK support page which contains their up-to-date advice on how to interpret reports.
