30Why would you want to do this if you honestly wrote the paper yourself?– BuffyCommented Dec 27, 2022 at 0:45

The same page has "iThenticate ... plagiarism checking tool" (close to the "Similarity" product). Though the title of the Similarity page starts with "Plagiarism prevention trusted by educators worldwide". Very confusing.– Peter MortensenCommented Dec 28, 2022 at 17:33

What tool exactly? "Similarity"? "iThenticate"? "Originality"? Something else?– Peter MortensenCommented Dec 28, 2022 at 17:37

5I would consider whether Turnitin will store the manuscript, and when a publisher uses Turnitin to check for plagiarism it will find a document that was submitted at your institution that is a 100% match.– Prof. Santa ClausCommented Dec 28, 2022 at 18:18

5@FerventHippo As a course instructor in educational use, one can switch off the "upload to the Turnitin repository" facility. I'm guessing one can do the same as a managing editor in research use.– Daniel HattonCommented Dec 29, 2022 at 15:36

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
