Plagiarism check

Deze pagina in het Nederlands.

The plagiarism tool Ouriginal is being phased out and replaced by Originality Check from Turnitin. This new system is introduced via a phased implementation.

Turnitin is already used within Brightspace  and Remindo and in mid September 2025 Ouriginal will be fully phased out and we will have moved all to Turnitin. The planning for this last stage of the project is as follows:

  • Integration Turnitin in Osiris thesis Zaak – 16 September 2025
  • Standalone Turnitin – 17 September 2025
  • Second migration of the Ouriginal database to Turnitin – 18 September 2025
  • Standalone Ouriginal no longer available – 17 September 2025

All information about Utrecht University's plagiarism detection system can be found at plagiaatcontrole.sites.uu.nl.

For questions about using Turnitin in combination with Brightspace or as a stand-alone tool, please contact tel@umcutrecht.nl.
