Plagiarism Detector and IP Protection Services

iThenticate compares submitted documents to our extensive data repositories (or your uploaded documents/custom database) to create a comprehensive Similarity Report. This report highlights and provides links to any significant text match found within our databases. Locating these duplicate instances will facilitate your IP protection and plagiarism detection goals.

Similarity Reports are used in:

Duplication and Plagiarism Detection

Content might originate from staff writers or free-lancers. In either case, the proliferation of information has made it increasingly difficult for editors, peer reviewers and referees to evaluate content integrity in a comprehensive and timely fashion. iThenticate supplements the editorial process so companies can feel confident about content they are publishing or providing to a third-party as a service.

IP Protection

Your intellectual property is valuable, and you want to ensure that proprietary information is not reproduced without appropriate permissions. Identifying where content has been misappropriated can prevent loss of revenue. Perhaps more importantly, identifying the source of content misappropriation can provide an avenue to new subscribers, and thus an otherwise untapped revenue stream.

Document-to-Document(s) Analysis

Many instances call for an efficient means to compare a document to another document, or a document to a cache of documents. Publishers might want to avoid a potential copyright infringement. Attorneys might wish to use iThenticate to strengthen an argument in an intellectual property case. Quickly and easily populate a customizable database with one or more internal documents. Upload subsequent content and have it compared to your custom database, as well as our databases.

The Similarity Report contains:

Direct-source comparisons of matched words to matched documents (highlighted with-or-without color coding), numbered and aligned side-by-side
Pattern-recognition matching of both word-for-word and paraphrased materials
Ability to exclude matching material within quotes, within the bibliography, or within any individual match
Ability to view all underlying matched words that have been obscured by overlapping matches
Option to resubmit the Similarity Report to include all current data in the database
Option to schedule/calendar ongoing submissions

File Formats

Acceptable submission formats include: Word¨ & Word¨ XML (.doc, .docx), WordPerfect¨ (.wpd), Rich Text Format (.rtf), HTML (.htm, .html), Text (.txt), PostScript (.ps, .eps), and portable document format (.pdf). Cut & Paste submission option accommodates unlisted file formats.
