It is used to control student theses and to prevent plagiarism and illegal quotations.

-Important Information About the Use of Turnitin:

-On the Turnitin system, an account can be opened only for academicians who are thesis advisors, but not for students (undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students). However, academicians can add accounts for their students to the classes they create under their own accounts.

- It is possible for the user to prevent the document uploaded for analysis from being included in the Turnitin content repository. By default, documents go to the content repository. However; From the settings, for documents that are not intended to be included in the repository, the "no repository" option can be checked to ensure that they are not included in the content repository.

- It is extremely important not to use this option, since the uploads made by selecting the “Quick Submit / Quick Submit” option are automatically sent to the warehouse. Since the uploads made through this option will go to the warehouse, when the same document is uploaded again, a similarity will be close to 100%. It is extremely important to pay attention to this issue in order to avoid any problems.

-There are problems in the use of Turnitin because the uploaded documents are sent to the pool by mistake and the user deletes the relevant work from his own account (like 100% similarity). Even if the document is deleted from the account by the user, it is not deleted from the pool. For this reason, it is extremely important that documents uploaded and sent to the pool are NOT DELETED without notifying the Turnitin administrator. Unfortunately, it is not possible to detect and delete documents deleted from accounts later by Turnitin.

Our calculation to find similar words is as follows:

First part total number of words (A)         11% = 6713
Second part total number of words (B)     x   8%  = 3225
Third total word count (C)     x     7% =4287

---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

Total Number of Similar Words (D) = 14225

Total number of words in the thesis: 162594

To find the similarity ratio;
(14225/162594)x100=8.75%
