Inspera Originality
Inspera Originality is a text comparison tool that compares your text with other sources to detect identical passages.
The purpose of Inspera Originality is first and foremost for teachers to be able to check if you are guilty of plagiarism. That is, if you have copied another text without citing or if you’re too close to your sources linguistically when you’re referencing. Inspera Originality is integrated in Canvas which means that your teacher can always choose to have the tool review a text that you have submitted in Canvas.
Keep track of the rules of plagiarism
It’s not always easy to keep track of multiple different sources during a writing process, but it’s important that you don’t submit something that you haven’t written entirely on your own. If you want to know which rules exist for a text with references and for plagiarism at Lund University, they are gathered in one single document.
