Abstract
After Google a tremendous growth has been noticed in digital contents even becoming double and triple after few days. Thereby, the access of these contents has become so easy even copying also. The scholars are taking the material from web and incorporate the same in their research work with attribution or without attribution and publish by their own name. When any scholar publishes his/her research work in the form of review paper/s and research paper/s without acknowledging the original author, it leads to plagiarism or more text similarity. To deter the same, numerous tools are available in the market. Few are offering their services without payment and few are on payment basis.

The present research paper intends to know the awareness of research scholars towards Turnitin- anti-plagiarism software so that the level of awareness of scholars may be judged accordingly and can offer the orientation, if require.
