About turnitin

Turnitin.com was launched in the year 2000. Though the system was created to detect “frat file” plagiarism, a pre-internet method of preserving physical copies of essays for later use, it has since been adapted to cope with internet plagiarism as well.
Students may be asked to submit work to Turnitin as part of their course or class requirements. Some students have refused to submit because they believe that compulsory surrender implies a presumption of guilt. Some critics claim that using this proprietary software violates educational privacy and international intellectual-property regulations and that it commercializes students’ work by permanently putting it in Turnitin’s privately held database.
