The Similarity Index in the upper-right refers to the percentage of words in the entire paper that matches to the source.Text within the student's paper that matches to content in the Turnitin database will be highlighted in the student's paper. Each match is given a number and a color. This number and color appears within the student's paper and corresponds to the sources in the sidebar. Click on the matching text within the paper, and the matching source of the text will be displayed in a pop-up, showing you the matching text plus some of the surrounding text. You can also click on the sources listed in the sidebar to jump to that match within the paper. The sources listed in the 'Match Overview' in the sidebar is OriginalityCheck's best source.
