plagiarism detection

Copyleaks is now our plagiarism detection solution

As of yesterday, Turnitin is no longer available for plagiarism detection, but don’t worry, Copyleaks, with its advanced plagiarism detection tool, is available to ensure the originality of academic work.

Like Turnitin, Copyleaks allows instructors to scan submitted files for plagiarism through the familiar Canvas interface. Copyleaks also leverages cutting-edge technology to detect similarities between submitted texts and a vast database of sources and helps you identify potential plagiarism by comparing student submissions against billions of web pages, scholarly articles, and academic papers.

If you have used Turnitin on assignments in the past, you will need to edit and update those assignments to reflect Copyleaks as the plagiarism checker.

Copyleaks for Plagiarism Detection

To help you get up and running with Copyleaks, a virtual Introduction to Copyleaks Plagiarism Detection training session was recorded recently and is now available to help you get started. The recording is available below:

If you have questions about Copyleaks or would like advice on how to use this or other academic technologies available to you, please reach out to your Academic Technology Services Director (ATSD) or help@smu.edu
