Accessing the Similarity Report

To access the Similarity Report of a submitted document, go to the folder where the submission is located. In the Folder’s tab, you will find the submitted document.

To view the Similarity Report, click on the similarity index icon corresponding to that document. This icon displays the percentage in the “Report” column, which is known as the Similarity Score. The Similarity Score provides a quick assessment of the document’s performance. It’s essential to discuss a comprehensive analysis. When you click on the icon, the report will open in the document viewer for your review.

• Match overview shows the matches with the highest to lowest percentage of matching words.
• All sources shows matches between the primary document and specifically selected sources.
• Match breakdown reveals underlying sources of a top source.
• Side by side comparison shows matches compared side by side with the original source content.

Filters and Exclusions
