Turnitin

| Concerned about plagiarism in student work? The Libraries provides Turnitin, a similarity checking and feedback tool that supports academic integrity and student citation skills. Instructors can access Turnitin via HKU Moodle or turnitin.com. The platform also offers an AI writing detection feature for your reference, though results should be interpreted with care. |
