The Turnitin Principle
The Turnitin Principle refers to a system used primarily in educational settings to check for originality in students' work. It compares submitted documents against a vast database of academic papers, articles, and internet content to identify similarities and potential plagiarism. The goal is to promote academic integrity by encouraging students to produce original work and properly cite their sources. By providing feedback on unoriginal content, it helps educators and students understand the importance of ethical writing practices and the value of one's own ideas.
