The submission of any file for evaluation using Turnitin’s specified e-submission hand in point triggers the generation of a Similarity Report. In order to detect instances of plagiarism, Turnitin checks submitted papers for identical or nearly identical passages using a large, though not comprehensive, database of internet sources. (University of Sussex, 2022). After that, a report is generated online that highlights the findings. For the purpose of improving feedback and reference abilities, this is a helpful tool for students and markers to discover sources of unoriginal content.
By comparing the amount of text in the supplied document to the proportion of matched text in the Similarity report, we can get the Similarity percentage score. Because Turnitin will identify text as “unoriginal” for many different reasons, this score does not always mean that the submission involves plagiarism. (University of Sussex, 2022).

Plagiarism is not detected by Turnitin. In reality, they check each submission against their database and underline instances of plagiarism or similarity. (Turnitin, 2024). To help you decide whether the matches are acceptable, the Similarity Report summarizes facts, including the sources that were matched to your contribution. You can see what percentage of scores are similar when you look at a Similarity Report.
The appropriate score range may be specified by your teacher. Make sure the ratio of cited material to original content in your work is within the acceptable range for your teacher before you submit it. (Turnitin, 2024). To find out what a passing similarity score is, check your course outline, read the assignment carefully, talk to your teacher, or look into the school’s general regulations. The quantity of permissible matched text could vary from school to school, instructor to assignment. (Turnitin, 2024).
