Similarity check in scientific texts
Since 2019, at Corvinus University of Budapest, a similarity check is run on all MA-, BA-theses and PhD dissertations. We complete the check using the Turnitin software.
From January 2021 the similarity check of articles is also available (e.g. before submitting to journals), for which we use Crossref Similarity Check – iThenticate. Further information regarding the service can be requested at szolg@uni-corvinus.hu.
The chart below shows the handling of the different papers:
| Term papers | checking in Moodle | set by the lecturer, uploaded by students | optional |
| Thesis (unlimited test) | test checking in Moodle, final checking in Neptun | set by the university, uploaded by students | compulsory |
| PhD-dissertations (and draft) | checked by the library | doctoral school sends the documents | compulsory |
| Other papers (research plans, PhD, Stipendium Hungaricum, project-plans, etc.) | checked by the library | set by the University | occasional regulation |
| Articles (this service can be used by faculty members and researchers of Corvinus) | checked by the library | by request of faculty, researchers | occasional regulation |
