The CSIC -through the Unit of Scientific Information Resources for Research (URICI)- has contracted a plagiarism verification service for its research staff.

It is Turnitin's software, iThenticate.

iThenticate allows researchers to check the originality of a paper at any stage of publication by applying text-matching algorithms to compare the full text of a manuscript with a large number of published papers and web content.

As an author, it allows you to ensure that you have sufficiently cited your sources. As a reviewer, it helps to detect plagiarism and attribution problems that could damage reputation or generate financial and legal repercussions.

All CSIC staff who appear in the CSIC Intranet corporate directory as CSIC staff (not mixed or external), and have a contractual relationship with the CSIC at the time of submitting the article, may request its use.

To access this tool it is necessary to be registered with a user name and password, and for this reason an iThenticate Access Request Form iThenticate access request form must be completed, after which the researcher will receive an email informing him/her that he/she has been registered in the application and will be able to access his/her user profile.
