Plagiarism

The following plagiarism tools are available:
 * Turnitin (subscription from your institution required)
 * iThenticate
 * Viper
 * PlagTracker

It is recommended that each and every journal has a plagiarism policy. This can form part of the Ethics Policy for a specific journal.

As a practical consideration, if a journal uses double-blind review, depositing anonymous papers to a database used by a plagiarism checker (such as Turnitin) could have unintended consequences. If the paper is withdrawn or rejected, it may show up in a plagiarism check if it is subsequently submitted elsewhere.

Example Plagiarism Policies

 * Plagiarism policy by Nature
 * Article withdrawal policy by Elsevier
 * Hindawi OA Publisher Plagiarism Policy
