Once you have the similarity report, it is up to you to use this as an investigative tool to determine if there is any case of plagiarism or collusion. The similarity index is a percentage of a paper's content that matches to Turnitin's databases it is not an assessment of whether the paper includes plagiarised material. Turnitin also gives the work a 'similarity index', which is the percentage of text in an assignment that has been matched to other sources. If matches are found, the texts are highlighted and linked to the original sources. Any matching or highly similar text discovered is detailed in the Similarity Report. The Similarity Report is the result of comparison between the text of the submission against a huge database of search targets selected for the assignment this includes billions of pages of active and archived internet information, a repository of works previously submitted to Turnitin, and a repository of tens of thousands of periodicals, journals, and publications.
When a student submits an assessment to Turnitin, it generates a Similarity Report. The similarity report is a result of the comparison between the text of the submitted assessment against Turnitin’s repository of works that include active and archived internet information, tens of thousands of journals and periodicals, as well as previously submitted assessment to Turnitin.
