FEAS is pleased to offer a subscription to the iThenticate service to our faculty researchers. This service
is a powerful tool that can help detect and prevent plagiarism in research work. It compares submitted
work against a vast database of academic and web sources, ensuring the originality and integrity of the
work.

Using the iThenticate service is simple, and our subscription makes it easily accessible to all of our
faculty researchers. We encourage our researchers to take advantage of this service to safeguard their
academic integrity and the integrity of our faculty. Get in touch with the ERO to learn more about the
iThenticate service and how to use it.
