Requesters must be the first, last, or corresponding author of the NIH work-related, unpublished manuscript. You can then correct any missing citations before the manuscript is sent through the NIH approval process. Upon request, an editor will analyze your unpublished journal article manuscript using the Library’s licensed iThenticate software and send you the report. Before submitting to a journal, use the NIH Library’s Plagiarism Checking Service to help identify any missed citations or paraphrased wording too similar to a published source. NIH authors, rest easier knowing that all of your manuscript’s sources are cited. We are investigating alternative options for plagiarism checking. UPDATE : Due to security concerns, the NIH Library is no longer able to use the iThenticate software.
