Turnitin provides a useful indicator to markers of the extent of matched text within a document, but it cannot determine what those matches mean. It is no replacement for academic knowledge and judgment in determining cases of academic misconduct/plagiarism.

Info

The ‘LSE Policy on the use of Turnitin’ provides further information on how the platform is used across the School and sets out the school-wide principles of using Turnitin.
