SJD Research Guide

The Canvas site allows students to check their own papers during the writing process, before a librarian or faculty member does a formal review of the dissertation via iThenticate.

As of Oct., 2020, all CWRU faculty, students, and staff may review their own papers via iThenticate. Reference librarians can assist with the interpretation of the reports, as needed. A librarian does a final originality check of completed SJD dissertations as part of the SJD graduate requirements. Please send any final dissetation that needs to have an originality review to Andrew Dorchak (axd10@case.edu).
