The procurement of Turnitin originality-checking software licences for public higher education institutions within the science and education system is funded by the Ministry of Science and Education through the University Computing Centre (SRCE) budget. SRCE conducted the procurement process and coordinates licence distribution and software utilisation. The available licences permit an unlimited number of checks for each enrolled student. Document verification (ranging from seminar papers to undergraduate, Master’s, and doctoral theses) can be performed by academic and non-academic staff, as well as by the students themselves, in accordance with the procedures and requirements of each higher education institution.
