About iThethicate

iThenticate is a plagiarism prevention tool that compares documents (including journal article manuscripts, proposals, research reports, thesis, and dissertations, etc.) against millions of published works available through the Internet and subscription databases.

Our subscription to iThenticate authorizes a limited number of submission tokens; we therefore ask that you use it wisely. The intent of the CSIR subscription is to allow access to a tool that would only be used by staff who are authors or co-authors on the uploaded work; that the work be in a draft stage and not yet submitted for publication.
