This is a brief overview of the instructions on the SJD Research Guide. They are slightly different because they assume the redirects will not work.

  1. Go to http://www.case.edu and search for ithenticate.
  2. Select "Case Western Reserve" as the name of the institution.
  3. Use single sign-on. 
    • If you do not use single sign-on, you will have to make an account and pay for reports.
  4. If you are 100% sure you have footnotes for all of your quotes, go to folder settings and select "exclude quotes."
  5. Return to the "Documents" tab and click "submit a document."
  6. When you do the upload, it will ask for a "reporting group."  Select "Law: Dissertation."
  7. Select "Choose file" and select your document.
  8. When the document reaches 100% complete, you can analyze your report.
