Yun Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi guys, Our school's policy for IAs, EEs, and other essays is to first submit it via Turnitin. However, today I have realized that IBO also uses turnitin to check plagiarism. The problem is that if I submit my Economics IA, for example, again, it shows me 60~90% of plagiarism as they detect the one which I previously uploaded. (The reason why it is not 100% is because I made changes) If this is the case, wouldn't the IBO think I copied and pasted the work since the IBO would not be able to see my name? Thank you Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 My school used turnitin as well, there were never any problems Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomenclature Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Don't worry about it. Even if this happens, IB will do their due dilligence and you will not be in trouble as long as the paper that matches it in the database is your work. Turnitin even has a feature where the paper it matches can be checked (if permission is given) and IB will see that it was your work. You might even want to mention it to your coordinator now just so that he/she knows what happened and is able to argue for you if anything happens.
