A plagiarism report is a document that shows how much of your writing matches existing sources — academic journals, books, websites and other students' work — expressed as an overall similarity percentage. It highlights the exact sentences and phrases that overlap with each source and lists where they came from, so you can correct or properly cite them before you submit. Universities use reports like this (most often from Turnitin) to check the originality of every piece of coursework, from a short essay to a full dissertation.
A good report does more than give a number. It pinpoints which passages are flagged and why, separates genuine plagiarism from harmless overlaps like common phrases and reference lists, and — in our full report — also flags text that reads as AI-generated.
Every report follows the same clear, easy-to-act-on format.
A single percentage showing how much of your document matches other sources, with quotes and references excluded.
Every source your text matches, ranked by how much overlaps, each clickable so you can review the original.
The exact words, sentences and paragraphs flagged are colour-coded and linked to their source.
A separate score flags passages likely written by AI tools such as ChatGPT — so you can rewrite them in your own voice.
Matches grouped by type — internet, academic journals and publications — so you can see where overlaps come from.
The full report as a PDF you can keep, share with your supervisor, or submit alongside your work.
The percentage is a starting point, not a verdict. A few things to keep in mind:
✓ There is no universal "safe" number. Many universities treat under 15–20% as acceptable, but the right threshold depends on your institution and subject.
✓ Context matters more than the number. A high score made up of correctly cited quotes is very different from copied, uncited text.
✓ Exclude what shouldn't count. Reference lists and standard phrases can be filtered out so your score reflects real overlap.
✓ Fix, don't panic. Paraphrase in your own words, add proper citations, or quote directly — then re-check.
