Academic Integrity
Turnitin – Plagiarism and AI Writing Check
Turnitin is a system that checks the originality of assignments, theses, and academic works prepared by students and academic staff. It supports academic ethical rules with similarity reports and also evaluates the probability of texts being prepared by artificial intelligence by generating an AI Writing Report.
What It Provides?
- Similarity Report: Shows source matches and percentages.
- AI Writing Report: Provides additional analysis regarding the probability of the text being written by artificial intelligence.
- LMS Integration: Works directly with KHAS Learn assignments.
Who Uses It?
- Students: Upload their work, review similarity reports.
- Academic Staff: Manage assignment settings, interpret reports, and provide feedback.

Interpreting Reports
- Similarity score alone does not mean plagiarism; the type and context of matches must be considered.
- Bibliography and correctly marked citations may increase the score; this is normal.
- AI Writing Report provides an additional view to assist the instructor's assessment.
Usage Tips
- Upload text-based files (DOCX / text-based PDF-OCR).
