Report by Turnitin

A Plagiarism Report by Turnitin is a document generated by the Turnitin software, which checks for instances of plagiarism in submitted documents. Turnitin is widely used in academic institutions to detect similarities between a student’s work and existing content, including online sources, academic papers, books, and previously submitted student papers.

The report highlights matching or similar text from other sources by providing:

• A similarity percentage: showing how much of the content is identical or close to existing material.
• Highlighted matches: the software marks portions of the text that closely resemble or match sources in its database.
• Source list: providing details of the original source of the matched content (e.g., websites, books, or journal articles).

This report helps educators identify potential plagiarism, whether intentional or accidental, and allows students to revise and ensure academic integrity before final submission.
