You still need to make sure that you understand when and how to cite your sources. You cannot rely on Turnitin to do the work of checking your references for you. Your tutor will use Turnitin to alert them to possible problems, but they are also familiar with your writing and with the literature in your field, and they will use their experience and academic judgement to identify any issues with your use of references. Turnitin is a program which checks your work for originality: that is, it searches through its database of published texts, webpages and student assignments to see if there are any areas which have a significant match to your work. In fact Turnitin is a tool which, if properly used and if your tutor enables it, can help you to work with academic integrity when you are referring to sources in your writing. A common misconception you will hear is that Turnitin is a plagiarism checker. You may have been told that your work will go through Turnitin when it is submitted, and wondered what Turnitin is.
