iThenticate

Brown University is piloting access to iThenticate, a useful tool in the writing and publishing process, for use by faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and some graduate students. Using iThenticate prior to submitting your own manuscripts, grant applications, and scholarly documents to journals, publishers, funding agencies, and academic repositories will help you to ensure that you are following proper citation and attribution practices. While iThenticate is not meant to be used to check other people’s writing for plagiarism, it can be used to demonstrate appropriate use of citations to students.

The following groups have access to iThenticate accounts:

• Campus faculty
• Visiting faculty
• Postdoctoral fellows and Postdoctoral Research Associates
• Clinical department faculty employed by Brown
• Clinical department research track faculty, including Research Scholar track, Research Scholar pre-track, and (Research) track
• Graduate students in year four or above
• MFA students

Accounts may be granted to other faculty, staff, and students upon request. Use the Library’s iThenticate support request form to request access. 

To access iThenticate, visit Brown’s iThenticate webpage and log in using your Brown online authentication credentials. 

If you encounter this message, it means that you have not been granted access to iThenticate. You can request an account via this form. Please do not contact turnitin.com support.

iThenticate provides a full suite of user guides and training videos on topics such as account management, using files and folders, and interpreting results. 

While iThenticate users at Brown are responsible for interpreting their own reports, the Library provides general support to help faculty, researchers, and students understand how to take full advantage of iThenticate. Please use the Library’s iThenticate support request form for questions or requests for support.
