Similarity screening at NCBS: iThenticate
The screening tool available at NCBS is iThenticate. It compares a manuscript or thesis against published literature and web sources and reports overlapping text as a similarity index, which is recorded on the pre-submission checklist and assessed in context. To have a document screened, follow the standard operating procedure for submission.
