iThenticate is a research integrity tool from Turnitin that checks manuscripts, grant proposals, theses and other high-stakes documents for text similarity against a content database. Its Similarity Report highlights matching text and links to the sources, and a flags panel identifies manipulated text such as replaced or hidden characters. Researchers can buy credits for individual manuscripts, institutions and publishers get organisation-wide checking, and AI writing detection is a paid add-on for institutions and publishers that supports English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Dutch and German. Turnitin says its content database includes 244 million subscription content sources and 85,000 journal articles from academic publishers, and iThenticate integrates with manuscript tracking systems such as ScholarOne and Editorial Manager.
