The International Publication Similarity and Plagiarism Check Service (Similarity Check) identifies and detects similarity rates between the work being examined and previously published scientific works. This service uses iThenticate, a professional tool developed by Turnitin (USA). iThenticate's database includes over 60 billion web pages, 155 million content items, and 49 million works from 800 academic publishers through CrossRef's Similarity Check. Additionally, iThenticate is used by over 80% of the academic journals listed in the ISI index.
