Turnitin Similarity Reports

What it Does

Papers submitted to Turnitin may be compared against billions of internet documents, archived internet data that is no longer available on the live web, a local repository of previously submitted papers, and subscription repository of periodicals, journals, and publications. The comparison may be against any or all of these repositories as set on a specific assignment by the instructor of the class.

The comparison document is called an Originality Report or a Similarity Report. This document details the matching or similar text between a submission made on Turnitin and the documents the submission was compared against.
