You will be able to see where the matches occur and the sources of the matches in Turnitin. it is not always an indication of plagiarism and will always need a human to interpret the report.even a small amount of matching text can be considered plagiarism if it has come from another source without being appropriately paraphrased, cited and referenced.the higher the similarity percentage, the more likely it is that your marker will suspect plagiarism.

The main things to keep in mind are that: Some subject coordinators or tutors may specify a similarity percentage that they consider to be the maximum amount allowable, but this is their personal preference rather than an official UTS requirement. Although many students ask what the "acceptable" maximum similarity percentage is, there is no specific percentage that is considered acceptable or unacceptable at UTS. Turnitin identifies matching text and calculates this as a percentage, referred to as the similarity percentage.
