Plagiarism prevention software provider iParadigms has announced a new service that provides individual authors, researchers and freelance writers access to the company's iThenticate solution. The new service, currently available at research.ithenticate.com, allows individuals to cross-reference their manuscripts against a massive database of scholarly material in the STM fields with the goal of vetting their material, ensuring that any non-original content is accurately and comprehensively cited before submission.
According to the company, leading publishers in the STM sector rely on iThenticate for professional plagiarism prevention. Now individual authors and researchers can use the same service to detect matched content in their manuscripts prior to publication. Detecting an unattributed source prior to submission can be instrumental to a manuscript's approval within a number of governing bodies, including peer reviewed journals, academic departments, research groups, conference proceedings or granting agencies.
iThenticate claims to be easy-to-use for individual authors and researchers. Using the web-based interface, a user submits a document for comparison to iThenticate's extensive data repository. Within seconds, iThenticate produces a report that highlights content matches and provides links to significant text found within iThenticate's databases.
iThenticate compares every submitted paper to a massive database of content from over 80,000 major newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, and books as well as a database of over 12 billion current and archived pages of web content. In addition, iThenticate checks materials from over 13,000 scholarly journals and more than 150 STM publishers.
