Plagiarism check (Amsterdam UMC/VU)

For whom:

For Supervisors and their PhD candidates to do a plagiarism check

Aim:

Scan the first chapter or article of the manuscript on plagiarism, for educational purposes

When:

A plagiarism check needs to be done in the first two years of the PhD trajectory

Timeframe:

Awareness during the whole PhD trajectory

To do:

All PhD candidates at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam / Amsterdam UMC are given the opportunity to check their research for plagiarism, using the iThenticate tool

The PhD regulations state that all PhD candidates who started their PhD trajectory as of 1 September 2022 are required to submit one appropriate product to a plagiarism check in the first two years of the PhD trajectory and discuss the result with their supervisor

In addition, all PhD candidates, including those who started before 1 September 2022, can make use of the tool voluntarily, with a maximum of once a year

Note: All PhD candidates will receive an iThenticate account automatically, under the condition that they have a VUnet ID. In case the PhD candidate does not have a VUnet ID, the supervisor uses their own iThenticate account, to scan the chosen product. If the supervisor does not have an iThenticate account (or VUnet ID), please turn to the Amsterdam UMC/VU iThenticate Key user
