       Has anyone come across journals asking for similarity checks for your manuscripts as you submit them? e.g. a report from Turnitin? I haven't come across this before but would be interested to know if you have... @academicchatter #AcademicWriting #AcademicPublishing

       @StephZihms @academicchatter The submission system I work with runs similarity checks automatically on every new paper, so it seems odd that a journal would ask you to carry out your own check. Maybe they do this to concentrate the minds of authors?

       @onisillos @academicchatter I also found it odd but some staff have mentioned this experience…unless they want to do a pre-check due to such a system being used?
