"The most serious limitation of turnitin.com is that it does not check
scientific references - that is journal articles (at least it didn't use
to).
Yes, but their capabilities are expanding. I plucked the paragraph below from the Turnitin web site http://www.turnitin.com/static/about_us/whats_new.html:
"Best Search Available. Turnitin has expanded its search capabilities to include the articles from thousands of commercial publications. This includes all of the published material contained in ProQuest�'s ABI/Inform, full-text Periodical Abstracts, and Business Dateline. It also includes tens of thousands of books from some of the largest digital libraries available. This is a free service to new and existing Turnitin customers."
I understand that the above feature was only added recently.
