Preparing a journal article, conference paper or book chapter for publication? Join CBS Library & Academic Services for a practical introduction to iThenticate, a text similarity screening tool and AI detection software designed specifically for academics and used extensively by publishers as a gatekeeper in the submission flow.

In just one hour, you will learn how to use iThenticate effectively, understand what a similarity and AI score can really tell you about your work, and avoid common misunderstandings before submission.

What you will gain

• Set up your iThenticate account.
• Understand what iThenticate can, and cannot, tell you about your manuscript.
• Learn how to prepare and submit a document for similarity screening.
• Find out how to navigate the similarity report with confidence and distinguish genuine issues from false positives.
• Apply best practices when interpreting results before submission.

Why it matters

Many publishers and universities use similarity screening as part of the publication or assessment process. Running your manuscript through iThenticate beforehand allows you to identify unintended text overlaps, check your citations, and make informed revisions before submission. Used correctly, iThenticate can help you submit your work with greater confidence.

Who is it for?

Researchers and PhD students preparing manuscripts for publication.
