period an entry will appear under the contents column (circled on the above) which<br />

will display your orig<strong>in</strong>ality report tell<strong>in</strong>g you whether <strong>Turnit<strong>in</strong></strong>UK has detected any<br />

issues with your document (a lower percentage be<strong>in</strong>g good) e.g.<br />

In this case the work is completely orig<strong>in</strong>al. The report will provide options <strong>to</strong> e.g.<br />

exclude any quoted text, or bibliography, the text for which is likely <strong>to</strong> be present <strong>in</strong><br />

other people’s work and as such would lead <strong>to</strong> a higher plagiarism score than if they<br />

were excluded.<br />

the orig<strong>in</strong>ality report then a no entry icon will be displayed <strong>in</strong> the Contents column<br />
