What is Turnitine?
Turnitin is a text equation application that can compare the originality of written works with various written sources on the internet, such as articles, journals, books, etc.
How does Turnitin work?
This application is not for detecting plagiarism because the way it works is only to tell whether a certain part of the text matches the text from another source or not. Even so, this application can prevent acts of plagiarism in academic or professional environments.
What are the functions of Turnitin?
According to the blog page of Queen Mary University of London it is stated that Turnitin generally functions as a web site-based plagiarism system used by various universities. The 4 main functions of Turnitin are as follows:
- Act to prevent plagiarism in writing scientific/written papers
- Provide reports that can help identify the occurrence of plagiarism
- Provide students or researchers with several identifications related to plagiarism and writing points that need to be corrected so as not to allow plagiarism
- Improving the quality of writing, scientific work, or academic writing in a higher education ecosystem
Then, how to escape Turnitin?
Attach Source
In the world of writing, especially writing scientific papers, basically there is no truly original work. A scientific work builds on more and more existing theory, so it's important to include sources for the views and arguments used when writing the paper. Common plagiarism is someone's negligence in writing or attaching a source. This can be prevented by making footnotes/bodynotes for each phrase or sentence obtained from external reference sources. The citation will be a marker of which parts of the paper are taken from external sources and will need to be specifically listed in the bibliography.
Don't Trace
Plagiarizing is an act of stealing other people's thoughts and admitting it as one's own composition without the permission of the original author. Therefore, try to understand the sources or references and then rewrite them creatively to support the findings or hypotheses of the scientific work you want to write without changing its meaning.
Paraphrase
According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), paraphrasing is the decipherment or restatement of a text or essay in the form of another arrangement of words with the intention of explaining the hidden meaning.
