Plagiarism Check

Exclude source for previously submitted document (draft)

If the student has submitted an earlier version of the final document (draft), the plagiarism report may show a significant similarity to this document. It is possible to ignore this draft version and not include it in the plagiarism report. If this draft is excluded as a source, a new plagiarism score is generated, and the draft is no longer shown in the report. This can be done as follows:

Source card

A source card can be opened by clicking on it.

The source card shows name of the source, the database, and the number of matching words and text blocks. On the right is the percentage of similarity between the entry and this source.

Below that is the link to the source, the similarity in context of the source, and button to display the full source text.

At the very bottom under “View other sources” is other sources that contain (part of) the same text as the primary source.

At the top right, you can click on the circle with a line to exclude this source from the document. However, if there are more sources with the same similarity, they will remain. At the bottom of the screen you can use “exclude match” to exclude the match in all sources found. Other ways of excluding sources can be done through the filters as indicated above.
