If you wish to know whether a particular publication is included in the iThenticate database, visit the Search Scholarly Journals page, and type in the title of interest in the the ‘search scholarly journals’ box in the middle of the page (example shown below). This breakdown determines the percentage of similarity between a submission and content existing in the database of the text comparison tool, iThenticate.

Students can utilize iThenticate for verifying the originality and correctly cited sources in graduate student theses and dissertations and faculty are able to use the tool to verify research grants and other professional works. The Similarity Report provides an overall similarity breakdown for each submission to the iThenticate database. In this way, the iThenticate database of content being checked for similarity is continuously updated with new papers, proceedings, book chapters, and books. While Turnitin is used primarily for reviewing student assignments, iThenticate is designed for more scholarly academic works. When publishers register a DOI for a given article, they submit it for iThenticate similarity checking and also agree to add the published article to the iThenticate database.

The version of iThenticate that the publishers use is commonly called 'Similarity Check' (formerly CrossCheck) and is part of the publisher services that the DOI registration agency, CrossRef, offers as a value added benefit. Many journal publishers do analyze submitted manuscripts using the iThenticate service, including American Physical Society (APS), IEEE, Springer- Nature Publishing, Elsevier, Public Library of Science (PLoS), and many others. The database includes billions of web pages (both current and archived content), a repository of work that has been submitted to Turnitin in the past, a collection of documents, which comprises of thousands of periodicals, journals, publications, and CrossRef member content. It checks a submission against the content database, and if there are instances where the submission's content is similar to, or matches against, one or more sources, it will be flagged for review. IThenticate does not check for plagiarism in a submission.
