Plagiarism Checker

    Just wondering if there is a sub-site on the TCD website that offers a plagiarism checker like UCD's SafeAssign?
    With having to submit a plagiarism disclaimer coversheet on every assignment these days I'm curious as to what is considered plagiarism as opposed to quoting sources? I had a look at some of the free ones online but they only seem to check up to 1000 words and being free I suspect are not very thorough.

    Dunno about the TCD website, but back in the day we (psychology dept) submitted through turnitin.
