What Should You Look for in the Report?
Check whether matches are concentrated in a single source or spread across several sources, and whether they appear in quotations, definitions, legislative passages or sections written in your own words.

Understanding Your Report
Review the Matching Passages First
The overall percentage indicates how much of your document has been matched to other text, but it does not explain the nature of those matches. Begin your review with the highlighted passages and their corresponding sources. The report is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute an official determination of plagiarism.
Interpreting Matches in Context
A long passage that is almost identical to a source may have different implications from several short, common expressions. Take this distinction into account when interpreting the results.
