Plagiarism

To uphold academic integrity at Batumi Navigation Teaching University, the anti-plagiarism software Turnitin is integrated into the educational process.

At BNTU, the acceptable similarity margins for academic and scientific works vary as follows:

  • Bachelor's thesis: up to 30%
  • Master's thesis: up to 15%
  • Student conference papers presented at BNTU: up to 15%
  • Academic/affiliated staff, invited specialists, or external participants presenting at BNTU: up to 10%

At the start of each academic year, the BNTU library, in collaboration with the quality assurance service, provides training and consultations on the use of the plagiarism detection program.
