For example, any inconsistencies which set the paper apart from a normal submission are flagged as these may indicate an attempt by the student to circumvent text matching by either replacing characters or adding hidden characters. It\u2019s up to you to consider elements in the report and how the student has used quotations, citations and references etc, and whether the work is acceptable.<\/p>\n<h2>Turnitin Similarity Report Checklist<\/h2>\n<p>To help you navigate the Similarity Report, FLIE have put together a checklist.
