Self posts onlyQuestions and Discussion for AcademicsThis subreddit is for discussing academic life, and for asking questions directed towards people involved in academia, (both science and humanities).Feel free to post interesting links within self-posts. Posts that will invoke critical thinking and healthy discussion are especially welcome.Your post should comprise a question (albeit potentially an open-ended one) and must contain sufficient information to enable posters to provide an effective answer. This might include, for example, your career stage, your subject discipline, the type of institution you're affiliated with, and/or the country you're in. Mods may delete posts which do not provide enough context.Questions from current and former undergraduates, graduates, PhDs, post-docs, professors and laymen all welcome!Questions about your uncontrollable desire for your student/professor will be deleted. You know it's inappropriate, and we're not going to tell you any different.

Schools pay anywhere from about a thousand to several thousand dollars annually for a subscription to it, depending on multiple variables related to which features and capabilities they want and how many enrollments they carry.

Your university probably has confidential counseling; make use of it.Questions about what university you should attend will be referred to. And questions about graduate admissions will be referred to. Both are better resources on those subjects.Code of conductIf a reasonable person wouldn't say it to a professor/colleague/conference speaker they don't know well, it's probably over the line. This includes off-topic and unproductive discussion as well as rudeness.Disagreement is completely fine, encouraged even, when there are different perspectives to share. If an idea is a bad one, please do tell someone that it is in no uncertain terms. I am currently working on my thesis.

I was told by my professor that my paper will be checked by Turnitin for plagiarism. I am looking for something like turnitin but free.My uni uses Turnitin, but I personally do not have the access to it and cannot perform the check before I submit my thesis for evaluation.

Obviously, I have not plagiarized and I also don't want to sound paranoid, but I have heard that Turnitin used to give false positives, so I want to make a pre-check on my own. My professor supports this, as she is not too big on Turnitin.So, my question is: have you pre-checked your thesis before submission and what alternative to Turnitin did you use? Please suggest an accurate and if possible free online tool.Thanks a lot. I'm a comp professor and use Turnitin constantly.

You're right that it's not 100% perfect, but when it's showing a false positive in the 'percentage match,' it's really obvious that it's not plagiarism. It's either a completely innocuous statement like 'Washington D.C., our nation's capitol,' that matches another student's submitted essay, or it's something that you paraphrase and attribute. It should be painfully obvious to your professor when matches are plagiarism and when it's incidental. You're probably worrying about nothing. First of all, you aren't wrong for wanting to do this - my university actually just released access to iThenticate for all students for this exact reason, so I don't have a good suggestion for a free resource for you.

But, it is so easy to copy and paste a few sentences to reference later, only to forget or accidentally delete the markings indicating it required further editing. As a first time academic writer, I found it very useful - as I found myself accidentally using too similar terminology to things I had read subconsciously.
