Making sense of the similarity report in Turnitin

Turnitin is an online tool that helps prevent and detect plagiarism. It works by comparing each submission against a database of:

• Web pages (more than 62 billion)
• Student papers (more than 734 billion)
• Journal articles, periodicals and books (more than 165 million)

Turnitin produces a similarity report that needs to be interpreted by a staff member. This is where you come in!

 

In this workshop you’ll learn how to:

• Read a Turnitin similarity report and detect potential instances of plagiarism
• Configure Turnitin assignments to reduce false positives
• Spot methods used to trick Turnitin
• Spot potential instances of Contract Cheating
