Ouriginal (former Urkund)

Detect and prevent plagiarism

Ouriginal Opens in new window helps teachers check students' work for possible plagiarism

Students' papers are compared against the content of three source areas - the Internet, published material and Urkund Archive build from previously submitted documents - and the result of the analysis with detailed matching information is forwarded to the teacher.

OBS! Ouriginal does not determine plagiarism, it just detects matching text.

Submitting papers as a student

Your teacher gives you an e-mail address (his/her own analysis address)
Send your paper to this analysis address as an attached file
You may submit several documents with one e-mail. Urkund will not accept e-mails without an attachment.
The following file formats are supported: doc, docx, sxw, pdf, txt, rtf, html, htm, wps, odt. Ouriginal also supports files compressed with WinZip or BinHex.
You will receive a confirmation letter in return
The confirmation letter is sent as an e-mail from support@urkund.se with the document's registration number and information about how Ouriginal works. This e-mail also contains instructions how to exclude your document from being a future source in Ouriginal for educational organizations other than Hanken. Read the confirmation letter at least your first time submitting a document.
