Green represents matches between 1% and 24% of the time and is the most common. While a "green" score may signal that the document is fine, it is only an indicator of the quantity of matched text, which means that up to 24 percent of the page might have been copied without reference. Yellow text has a -25% -49% match rate. 17% of pages will get a yellow rating.
The lower the percentage number, the more likely it is that text will be found on other pages in the source file. For example, a score of 0% means that no text from the document was found elsewhere within the source file. A score of 100% means that all of the text is unique. Scores between 75% and 100% could not come from an original document.
A score below 50% should be considered evidence of copyright infringement. Although any one item may be identified by a copyright owner as their property, whole documents or sections of documents are often claimed when many items may appear to be duplicates. For this reason, a score of 50% or less indicates that there is enough similarity between the submitted work and the copyrighted work that we recommend that you seek legal counsel.
It's important to note that Turnitin does not check for facts or historical events. It checks only if words are present in a similar order as they are in the copyrighted work. Therefore, works such as poetry books, novels, and movies cannot receive any credit for identifying words that are unique to these forms of artistic expression.
Yellow means 25%–49% of the paper matched an outside source. If there is no plagiarism, this paper would likely benefit from more paraphrasing and analysis. Orange means 50%-74% of the paper matched an outside source. This is not good and needs significant revision, whether or not plagiarism has taken place. Red means 75%+ of the paper matched an outside source. The paper will most likely need to be completely rewritten.
This report has a similarity score of 21%. There are a few more significant matches to single sources. The greater the percentage of sources that must be researched to guarantee they are appropriately cited. If this is a lengthy assignment, even 1% matches must be reviewed to ensure that they have been correctly referenced. A citation score of 100% means that all sources have been examined and properly cited.
In general, a score of 0-10% is used to indicate an excellent chance that the document is free of plagiarism; 11-20% as a good chance; 21-40% as a fair chance; 41-60% as a poor chance; 61-80% as an extremely poor chance; and 81-100% as no chance at all.
21% is considered to be a very high risk. Even documents that appear to be original research will likely be found to contain some degree of plagiarism. Such documents should be treated with caution. It is important to understand that plagiarism detection tools such as Turnitin identify similarities between text, not originals. This means that documents that use similar language or ideas but were written by different people may still get a high score despite being copied from other sources. These documents need to be evaluated carefully to make sure that they are original before using them in coursework or presentations.
It is important to note that a higher score does not necessarily mean that your document contains less plagiarism.
We typically consider anything less than 30% to be normal. Granted, if you truly plagiarized 30% of your work, it would be a major issue, but the resemblance is usually due to factors like in-text citations, field-specific terminology, and heading titles. You're going to be OK.
A Turnitin similarity score of more than 30% on the originality report is regarded negative if the matching work is not identified and referenced. A score of 100% means that identical words appear in your paper and the assigned work. Any variation of words or structure without proper referencing is considered plagiarism.
38 is a very high score so you should definitely refer him for plagiarism checks.
A similarity percentage of 35% indicates that the students are utilizing word-for-word content from a source that is not properly referenced elsewhere in the work. This is plagiarism, and the majority of teachers will not accept the work in this format.
Turnitin reports two different types of violations: exact matches and substantial similarities. Exact matches occur when there is a perfect match between two pieces of academic work. Substantial similarities include cases where large portions of text have identical words or phrases. In these situations, the original author's ideas cannot be attributed to the student because they have been directly copied from another source. Teachers should note that even if a paper shows an exact match with another piece of work, it does not necessarily mean that the student was the one who wrote it. For example, someone else may have obtained permission from the original author to use their material. Or, the teacher may have had a previous assignment on the same topic which the student may have seen.
Exact matches only account for a small portion of all significant similarity findings reported by Turnitin. Therefore, teachers should not focus exclusively on preventing exact match violations. They should also monitor their students' papers for substantial similarity problems. If a pattern of abuse is detected, the teacher must take action by contacting the source editor/author and reviewing alternative assignments with them.
