Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about Turnitin AI checker searches, iThenticate-style comparisons, file requirements, private document handling, and the limits of pre-submission review.
02Can I use tunitiny before journal submission?
Yes. tunitiny is positioned as an independent pre-submission review surface for manuscript AI score questions, similarity review, and citation checks before journal submission or peer review.
03Is tunitiny an official Turnitin AI checker or iThenticate report?
No. tunitiny is independent. References to Turnitin or iThenticate describe search intent and workflow comparison only.
04Will my manuscript be submitted to or indexed by Turnitin or iThenticate databases?
No. Manuscripts reviewed through tunitiny are not submitted to, stored in, or indexed by Turnitin or iThenticate databases. tunitiny is a private pre-submission review surface, not a repository workflow.
05What does manuscript AI score mean?
A manuscript AI score is best treated as a review indicator, not a final verdict.
06Will my results match a journal or institutional screening result?
Not necessarily. Similarity and AI indicators can change when the manuscript version changes or another platform uses different thresholds.
07Which languages can I review?
AI-content indicator review supports English and Spanish. Similarity review language coverage can vary by source coverage and processing capability.
08What happens to my report after 24 hours?
Report access and deletion timing are shown in the privacy policy so you can review the document-handling boundary before using the service.
09Are results final?
No. AI-content and similarity results should be treated as review indicators.
10Why can human-written academic text be flagged as AI?
Dense academic phrasing, repeated sentence structure, generic transitions, and heavily polished prose can sometimes resemble AI-writing patterns. Treat any signal as a revision prompt, not a verdict.
11What should I revise before formal submission?
Start with passages that combine high AI-writing signals, weak attribution, concentrated source overlap, or vague paraphrasing. Then revise wording, add citation context, and check quotations.
12How long does a review take?
Review timing depends on document length, queue status, and processing capacity. tunitiny surfaces timing expectations before a manuscript report is generated.
13Are my files public?
No. tunitiny is positioned around private manuscript review with visible retention, deletion, and access-control boundaries.
14What does similarity review mean?
Similarity review means summarizing possible text overlap signals so you can inspect citations, quotations, paraphrasing, and matched-source context before journal or institutional screening.
15What happens when my report-access window ends?
Report access and deletion timing are described in the privacy policy before use. Manuscript files are handled for temporary processing and report delivery, while any account, billing, or support records can be retained separately from manuscript content.
16Can I get a refund?
Refund eligibility follows the published Refund Policy and the status of the manuscript review.
17Is tunitiny affiliated with other detection platforms?
No. tunitiny is presented as an independent pre-submission review workflow and does not claim affiliation, endorsement, or official compatibility with third-party detection or submission platforms.
18How should I use my report?
Use the report to review wording, sources, citation notes, and sections that may need additional editing before submission.
19What happens if my report is not generated?
Support can review the issue and determine whether a retry, credit, or refund policy applies.
