Free Service to Double Check Missed Citations or Potential Plagiarism
A message from the NIH Library: Calling all NIH authors! Do you want to rest easier knowing that all of your manuscript’s sources are cited? The NIH Library can help. The Library licenses iThenticate®, a plagiarism detection software offered by Turnitin, LLC, to identify missed citations or paraphrased wording that is too similar to a published source. Before submitting your manuscript to be published, consider using the Library’s plagiarism checking service. This service is free and confidential for requesters who are the first, last, or corresponding author of NIH work-related, unpublished manuscripts.
Instructions
Request an iThenticate report through the Library’s Editing Service. Upon receiving your request, an NIH Library editor will run your unpublished manuscript in iThenticate and send you the report. Reports are usually delivered within three business days.
The plagiarism checking service is part of the NIH Library’s Editing Service. For more information, contact Yolanda Jones, yolanda.jones@nih.gov.
