Testimonials
I shared an essay with my students that I had submitted to Turnitin.com. They were quite impressed and a little perturbed at the same time. Impressed because of the thoroughness of the analysis; perturbed because the teachers now have access to such a wonderful service. They thought they had sole use of such educational aids!

Old plagiarism.org Website
iParadigms got its start in 1996, when a group of researchers at UC Berkeley created a series of computer programs to monitor the recycling of research papers in their large undergraduate classes. Encouraged by a high level of interest from their peers, the researchers teamed with a group of teachers, mathematicians, and computer scientists to form Plagiarism.org, the world's first internet-based plagiarism detection service.
By late 1998, Plagiarism.org had become the center of international media attention. The small organization was featured in several major media venues, including Good Morning America, ABC World News Tonight, and the New York Times. In the nine years since, iParadigms has continued to grow and evolve, and is now recognized around the world as Turnitin and iThenticate, the internet's most widely used and trusted resource for detecting plagiarism and checking for originality in written work.
