Open House for questions regarding the change of plagiarism detection system
Please keep an eye on this page, as we will be adding more sessions shortly.
What will be new?
As a user, you will encounter an interface with a new look, while much of the functionality will feel familiar. The text-matching report works largely as before, with color highlights indicating matches with previously published material.
However, navigation within the report and the presentation of matching sources have been adjusted. Guides on how to use and navigate the new text-matching report will be published shortly.
Inspera’s own product information for Originality
Inactive accounts will be removed
In connection with the transition to the new tool, inactive accounts will be removed. An account is considered inactive if you have not logged in during the past two years. If you have logged in at any time during this period, you do not need to take any action. All documents you have uploaded will automatically be transferred to the new tool.
Why is the change taking place?
The change is due to Ouriginal’s provider being acquired and discontinuing the service. The transition between the tools at KI will take place in the second half of April 2026. The new tool, Inspera Originality, has been selected through a joint procurement process via Sunet.
