Since November 1, 2025, the new “StrikePlagiarism” software for detecting plagiarism (https://www.strikeplagiarism.com/en/) has been available to all members of the university. It replaces the previous software, offers the same functionalities and different roles for teachers and students.
All TU members can log in with their university account (https://panel.strikeplagiarism.com/#/) to be automatically registered in the system as students. Teachers will then need to fill out the appropriate registration form. Once activated by the library, teachers will have access to the work submitted by students and the corresponding review reports. The review results are initially only visible to teachers, who can share them with students for reading.
If you have any questions, please contact the university library team:

Last year, we replaced the former bibliography with the new, modern university bibliography. All data records from the previous bibliography have now been transferred to the university bibliography. We will therefore discontinue the provision of publication lists from the previous bibliography as of January 31, 2026. If you have not yet updated your publication lists on your faculty, institute, or department websites via the university bibliography, we will be happy to help you set this up (bibliographie.ub@tu-ilmenau.de). Further information can be found on our websites.

Scopus AI has also been licensed as an add-on module to the Scopus bibliographic database for 2026.
