How to…

Using Turnitin

• Turnitin is a text matching tool that can be useful in helping you develop critical writing skills and your use of evidence.

• An Originality Report is generated that outlines where particular excerpts of text may have come from.

• There are a number of things to be aware of in interpreting the Originality Report, such as the assessment requirements, inclusion of bibliographic information, etc.

• Whilst a similarity percentage is generated, this should not be considered in isolation. It’s important and more meaningful to interpret the findings of the Originality Report in detail.

• You can submit multiple times before the final submission. However, each new upload will over-write the last version.
