To: Regularly enrolled Graduate Students

From:  Rodney D. Priestley, Dean of the Graduate School

Subject:  Now Available: iThenticate Plagiarism Technology

Date:  February 18, 2025

Dear Graduate Students,

The University has licensed iThenticate, a leading technology that helps scholars and researchers at Princeton verify the originality of their own academic writing and mitigate the risk of plagiarism. This tool is available only for the individual use of authors, or co-authors, to check their own work for similar or duplicate content published elsewhere.

iThenticate is available to all regularly enrolled graduate students, excluding visiting students and Visiting Student Research Collaborators (VSCRs).

An FAQ page has been created on the Graduate School site to provide more information about iThenticate, its availability, and guidelines for its individual use. Please read these FAQs carefully and note provisions regarding the appropriate use of iThenticate. University-provided access to iThenticate is not to be used to check the documents drafted or published by others. Any use of University-provided access to iThenticate inconsistent with these guidelines will result in termination of the user’s access and may result in disciplinary action.

To log in to iThenticate, please use Princeton’s single sign-on (SSO) page, accessible through the Princeton Service Portal. For technical questions on how to use iThenticate, please open a ticket in Service Now, choosing iThenticate from the drop-down menu of business applications.

If you have questions or comments about the FAQs themselves or want to report any possible plagiarism in association with written work submitted to iThenticate, please contact the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School ([email protected]).

All the best,

Rodney D. Priestley
