iThenicate will be down for maintenance Saturday, July 13, from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.
To ensure that services remain stable, particularly during high submission periods, this maintenance will include several hardware updates and performance improvements. Users will be unable to submit or view documents during this maintenance window, so please ensure that any submission times are adjusted to fall outside of the window.
We are currently experiencing difficulties with Mac users and the iThenticate log-in process. If you are using a Mac device to access iThenticate, and are unable to gain access to iThenticate, please email ithenticate@utk.edu with your specific issue and include screen shots of the error message, if possible. If you have access to a PC/Windows device, you should be able to access iThenticate as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and are working with iThenticate to resolve these issues as soon as possible.
Please make sure you are logging in via the iThenticate page on the ORE site.
The Office of Research and Engagement announces five one-time training workshops that will serve as an introduction to iThenticate, a plagiarism checker software that verifies the originality of written work.
We will discuss how to submit papers, the format of those papers, setting exclusions for the report, reading the report, and protocols on sharing that information with colleagues. Participants will leave with the knowledge of how to use iThenticate, what iThenticate is used for, and how to read the iThenticate report.
Attendees can bring a laptop and a digital example paper to follow along, but it is not required.
Workshops are limited to 40 attendees. All workshops will be in A004 Blount Hall. Zoom information is provided in the registration links below for those who cannot attend in person.
Please contact Donna Ford (dford15@utk.edu) with any questions.
