My Turnitin similarity score looks high. What does this mean?

This answer contains a bit of information about Turnitin similarity scores.


Answer

It's important to understand how the Turnitin similarity scores work. A score of 25%, for example, does not mean that you plagiarised a quarter of your assignment. 

The similarity score may encompass elements such as a cover page or citations, depending on the settings.

For more information about understanding Turnitin, see the 'Plagiarism and Turnitin' page on our Brightspace Student Support pages.
