Submitting your document to Turnitin provides machine-generated feedback on grammar and spelling, and a similarity report showing which sections of your document match other sources such as journals, books, and websites. This feedback provides you with an opportunity to improve your document. The Turnitin similarity report helps you avoid plagiarism, which is the act of presenting the ideas or works of another as your own. For more information on plagiarism refer to Academic integrity for students.

Depending on the filter settings, these matches could be in your quotes or bibliography. Matches within quotes and the bibliography can usually be ignored. Commonly used phrases that are not presenting another's work as your own such as "The main research question is" will also often match, and this is usually fine. Carefully consider matches that aren't within quotes or your bibliography, as you may have paragraphrasing issues, matches that should be quoted and cited, or other issues.
