To
help you to interpret the similarity
report, Turnitin has a range of
filters
that can be applied. To use these
filters, click the Filters and
Settings icon:
Filter | Purpose |
---|---|
Exclude
Quotes/Exclude
Bibliography | You may wish to
exclude quotes,
bibliographies, and
items of a similar nature
from influencing your
students' similarity
scores. |
Exclude small
sources (measured by
word number or
percentage) | You can exclude
sources in the source list
that are
below the threshold set by
you. For example, if the
threshold is set at 3%,
any
1% or 2% match would be
removed from the current
report mode's source
list. |
Generate a new
Similarity
Report | If you believe an item
may have been added to the
Turnitin database since a
Similarity Report was last
generated (this could be a
website, journal article,
or even another student’s
paper), you can generate a
new report to receive an
up-to-date similarity
score. |
