Turnitin does not flag essays that include plagiarized ideas or concepts, nor can it detect paraphrasing that dramatically changes the wording of an original source while maintaining that source's organization. A clean similarity report does not necessarily guarantee that the submission is the student's own work. Turnitin compares submissions against a wide database of internet sources (as well as previously submitted student work and commercial databases) however, it may not scan every site on the internet. Reports will usually be available within 15-60 minutes of the submission or the due date, depending on the assignment settings. The report indicates the percentage of overlapping material in the paper, as well as specific matching passages. Canvas Rubrics can be used with a Turnitin assignment, but you must first add the rubric before setting the External Tool submission type. About Similarity ReportsĪ Turnitin Similarity Report indicates overlap between the text of the submitted paper and other materials in the Turnitin database. Turnitin accepts submissions in over 30 languages and multiple file types, including PDF, docx, and pptx. Both rough drafts and final versions of papers can be submitted and checked. 
To help students learn and improve their citation, instructors can allow students to see their initial similarity report and make corrections. Instructors can read a report on the matching sources of a student's submission this is called a "similarity report." Turnitin helps prevent plagiarism by highlighting material that may have been poorly paraphrased, improperly cited, or copied from other sources. If you are an instructor, and you wish to submit student papers to Turnitin yourself (that is, students have not submitted their papers with the Turnitin option enabled in Assignments), it's best to submit the papers directly through, not through Canvas.
