I have received a Turnitin 'Paper View Request' what do I do?
When an instructor receives a 'Paper View Request' email from another instructor who is also using Turnitin.
For example, Turnitin allows an instructor from another Institution, has a report for one of their students showing a match to a paper that was uploaded to one of their coursesuniversity or institution to make a paper view request. This happens when similarities have been found in text with a submission made at our institution.
When an instructor tutor receives one of these requests, they can choose reply to the email, which would give the 'requesting' instructor a copy of the matching paper. But they are not required to reply. They can just ignore the request if they choose. We leave that decision to the Instructor who received the request.
If the instructor tutor replies to the email, the 'requesting' instructor will only get a copy of the matching paper. They receive no other information regarding the student or the instructor. More information regarding paper requests can be found on the Turnitin guide Managing paper requests.
Can I double blind mark work submitted to Turnitin using GradeMark?

Why are students sometimes getting email receipts from Turnitin when they haven't submitted anything?
If a tutor clicks on the grade pencil icon next to a student's name in a Turnitin inbox when they haven't submitted anything, the student receives an email 'digital receipt' with paper ID. Turnitin are aware of this issue and the Digital Education Services team have asked them to resolve it.
How do I allow students to submit scanned work or images to Turnitin?
Turnitin requires there to be at least 20 words submitted, so if students need to submit scanned work or images you should provide a coversheet containing at least 20 words that students can attach to the start of their scanned PDFs. In order to merge these in to one document students on a PC can use PDFMerge and students on a Mac can use the pre-installed Mac Preview . If you are using Desktop@UCL see: How to merge PDF documents. Note. scanned work or images cannot currently be checked for plagiarism by Turnitin.
